I've had an aftermarket cooler on my HD4870 which should be silent. Disliked: A little noisy one fewer display connector than reference design.

Liked: Good price/performance efficient excellent warranty. That's why everyone are doing the crappy ones and not exhaust. XFX Radeon HD 6850 1GB GDDR5 PCIe reviews, pros and cons. These results should give a reasonably good picture of comparative fan noise, though.

And since internals are cool because of the exhaust system, you don't need 300 fans to cool the internals, other components are cooler, and thus les overall noise and less unnecessary fans needed just because the gfx doesn't have a crappy cooler.īut it's so easy to slam massive heatsink on it, route few heatpipes and call it a day than design a good exhaust cooler. with Catalyst 8.782-100930m drivers & 10.9a application profiles. Any closed case would make it even less noisy. And i have it on my desk 50cm from my head. AnimalpakNo worry if you have a case with fans on the side panel.Ģ00mm or two 120mm fan in exhaust mode are fine with this type of graphics card.Īnyway this graphic card looks fantastic to me.I have a reference HD5850 cooled graphic card (reference exhaust cooler) and is far from loud.Īnd i have a VF6000BNS case where a gfx cooler is almost sticking out of a perforated case side.
