Loud GeForce 5500 FX fan

[kitakaze]

Hi,

I recently got an XFX GeForce 5500 FX card.... It seems to run just fine, it's just that the card fan is high-pitched loud. I can hear it over the main fan in my computer.

Is there anyway I could muffle the sound a bit without causing my whole computer to overheat?

Thanks,

You remove the fan and install a silent cooling solution.

Go to Cooler Master.

You can also try Zalman.

There is nothing else to be done, standard fans make noise but come cheap.
