Thanks for the info!
I think I'll try the MSI then..

Otherwise, is there any other quiet 6850 worth looking at?

I'm torn between this MSI R6850 Cyclone and the Asus EAH6850 DirectCU, which is said to be very quiet in the SPCR review.
Which is the quietest in your opinion?

Currently i have a Sapphire 4850 Vapor-X, which is practically inaudible when in idle..
