Housed in Sonata III case.
This is a fairly quiet card in general use, but really spins up during boot and takes a while to throttle back. This is the loudest part of my system by far when going through this,... after it settles down ~1min then it is bearable.
I am looking at keeping the temps no more than where they are now (wouldn't mind decreasing some), but I need some ideas (cheap) to lower the boot noise for one, and overall for two.
I have looked into the artic cooling accelero S1 turbo, would this be the best way to go for comparable cooling, with lowering the noise,... or the artic cooling w/ some other fan setup,... or is there a better aftermarket cooling solution with better cooling, yet less noise?
