I unplugged the fan on my fx5900 (no joke)

That thing was killin me.
Strapped a 120mm fan onto the front of the card. Now my temp reading is
higher (from 47C to 53C), but I can hear myself think.
And in CS or the UT2k4 demo it only creeps up to 67C or one degree more than
before. And I now have a fan controller inline so if I need/want to I can
move more air across, which I don't think I ever will.
Did I mention I can hear myself think?

You can remove even the heatsink when it reaches -25 in your ice-built cottage.

A guy in Greenland did such once, just made a blowhole to the outside
of his house and connected the PC to it....

I tell ya...that lucky bastard had NO complaints about the sounds of
fans!
