Hey,
I have a Leadtek GeForce4 Ti 4800 gfx card, with dual cooling fans. The problem is that the card is loud. It is now the loudest thing in my case, as I have silent CPU fan, and silent PSU. What options do I have in terms of making it quieter? If you are unsure, the card is pictured below.

Cheers guys.

    If you can, unscrew the fans and take off the filters, I am sure that they are adding to the noise. But I cant tell from the picture if they are screwed down, or punched down.....

    Already taken them off, that was my first idea too, any more?

    Unless your are overclocking the video card I don't think that the fan in the upper right corner is really nessacary. The GPU should be near the other fan, and the upper right corner fan is doing nothing but cooling the memory, which really does not need active cooling. Is it possible to remove that fan?

    Guess so. thing is, the whole card seems to get pretty hot, so im kinda worried about removing one of them. I looked into the large passive Zealman (not sure how you spell it) HS, but i am using the PCI slot next to the AGP slot, so thats not an option for me.

    Not really sure what I can do

    Anyone know where I could get replacement fans for it? Quieter ones? Think its about 40mm, but I would have to check it out
