noise 4870?

[Melvin]

Hello all, here is some small issues. is that the sapphire 4870 512 is a lot of noise? and can I feed my graphics card with 500 W Earthwatts who is in the Antec Sonata case 3.Merci for advice

For the noise I think 4800 is not very quiet, but not very noisy either, for food in principle yes, unless your other components are very greedy.

With the latest drivers via the ATI Catalyst Control Center, you can adjust the fan speed "by hand".

On my HD4850, I put the fan 'to 45% of its max.
And apparently it well enough, the card does not burn heater (no more than 65 ° C), and does not specifically too much noise.

I have a 4870 and part of the PC at startup, if you well-speed fan, as ThoMas321, it poses no problem at all. That is absolutely correct. Personally, I put it to 35% is a very good compromise between noise and temperature of the card.

[Dr. V]

About uh, I find that 35% is insuportable
25% is good (automatic), my card varies between 78 ° C and 80 ° C

Yeah, but hey, personally, I did not want to shoot in my leaving at this temperature all the time.
