Hey Anybody,

I use the Radeon 9200 128mb (lowend) and the 9600 and up cards for highend.
In my own system I use the GV-R96128D and that's a passive cooled card. The
one with DVI out has a fan but is pretty ok. I use to love the videocards
from Asus (and all there other stuff) but I switched to Gigabyte. I have to
say that the card that I use now is much lower in performance than the
ti4200 128mb I used before and they almost cost the same..... :-(

The V9520 they replaced mine with makes no more noise then a fan should,
niether does my buddys V9950. I doubt you will find a decent card that
doesn't need a fan, but hey, I have been wrong before! What card from
Gigabyte do you have?

I've got the same problem with those cards. Every fan will make noise,
even
new out of the box. Asus just denies the problem. I never had understand
this problem: the fan is one of the cheapest parts on the videocard, why
not
spending some little money to get a better one... I just quit buying
those
cards. I'm using Gigabyte cards now and the smaller one's come with
passive
coolers, that's the best!

Hello,

I have recently bought an ASUS V9520 GFX card. After two days of
using
it the fan started to sound as if it was spinning against something.
I
went back to the store and got a new card but this card also started
to sound bad after couple of days.. Is there something wrong with
ASUS
V9520 fan in general? Or am I just having bad luck?


I bought mine 3 weeks ago, and 5 days ago my fan started making noises
when
spinning up.
I fiddled a little with it and it seems to work ok...
However: my case is open, so if it stops I'll know ;-)

I'm gonna replace it with a 3-wire fan and connect it to a fan header
on
my
mobo for monitoring...
