Hi, I just heard from Matrox, and they said the same thing you did, ie,
they're fanless.
This isn't a new card. It was installed about 2 years ago, and it has a
fan. I stopped
the noise the computer was making by sticking a screwdrive in the blades of
the fan
on the card, and the noise stopped. The problem is I'm in NJ and the system
is in California. Pretty long screw driver huh? Naw, I was out there last
month and diagnosed the source of the noise, but didn't have the presence of
mind to take all the info off the card. I relied on the sales reciept which
I had back here in NJ which sais its a Martox G450 duel head with 32mgs of
ram on it.

Do you think any old fan that is the right physical size would be ok to use?

I was under the impression that all the Matrox cards including the new

P650
(64MB one) were fanless. I'm not 'up' on the latest versions, but I

thought
the G450 was a fanless card.
