    Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870 with Windforce 3x

    Hello friends, I have purchased Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870 card with Windforce 3x. But I am finding one problem with it, such that setting fan speed to 40% then I do not that it is enough for it and it is very much loud. I am getting temperature around 25C when it is in Idle. Many people have suggested using third party applications by which I can lower fan speed but I do not wanted to use it. I would like to know that is there any possibility method to make changes in BIOS for this particular card and will be there any BIOS update which does changes to lower fan speed. So please help me out with it. Thank you.

    This was same thing which I wanted to have and do understand what you are trying to say about it, even I also agree with point of not having such high speed during idle time of card. I would like to share that I have spoken with Gigabyte about this on GGTS (Gigabyte Global Technical Service) and over there I have got reply and told they are working on this card BIOS, so at present not knowing that there is anything in the pipeline regarding a firmware update. So you can wait for it and check there is any update about it.
