Going to try a mod on my card soon. Just wondering how much CFM the stock fan pushes and the RPM. Couldn't find it anywhere.

Thanks.

you should just run teh card fanless and forget the CFM

The card gets pretty hot. I was going to mount an undervolted 60mm panaflo or something to it. Did you run yours fanless?

People run 9800pro's fanless, so I dont think you have to worry about running yours without a fan. What heatsink do you have? I have a 9700pro with the VGA silencer on low but as Ed said, it's pretty safe to run anything up to a 9700pro fanless, like with the Zalman ZM-80C or something. It should (the heatsink) be getting hot, that means that it's working. Unless your getting artifacting or crashing or some other heat related problem, I think your fine fanless.

Well no kidding they can run it fanless with a ZM80C.. I thought you were saying stock fanless

Ok, Im going to try it. I know a silencer or the zalman would be better/quieter but I have several similar cards to do and Im trying to keep it simple and cheap.
