Comment:
Hello, I have this ATI Radeon X1300 Video Card, I like it a lot, even though it sometimes flickers the screen when I switch between resolutions, The only problem with this card is that, ITS NOISY!!! The fan is the one which is making the most noise out of this card. I removed the plug for the fan and it seems to improve the noise, but I am just scared that it will burn out my card. Is there a fan for the ATI Radeon Video Card which is EXTRA QUIET, like my Processor Fan, Case Fans, etc. ? Sorry for sounding like a p--sy here lol.

We need to know which particular make of card it is so we can see what type of cooling it has. The x1300 has a lot of different cooling solutions between brands.
I wouldent recommend unplugging the fan either. If it has one it probably needs one.
What brand is it & how old? Sapphire had a run on bad cooling fans a while back & is offering free replacement.
"Q: Is your fan disproportionately noisy? A: Please contact your retailer. He will send your product in for repair. This service is only free of charge if your board warranty is still valid. The repair will take 4-8 weeks. Please understand that we cannot make any exceptions."
I had one of those with passive cooling, never had an overheating issue. You may get a heatsink off such card, should be some faulty ones on ebay. http://www.komplett.se/img/p/400/31...
