    Make 6800 ultra quieter

    I have a xfx 6800 ultra graphics card. I will probably upgrade when dx10 has matured.

    The fan on the card is really noisy is there a way I can make it quieter without affecting the cooling performance a great deal?

    Buy an Arctic Cooling Accelero X1 ? Or just use ATITool or w/e the nVidia equivalent is to lower the speed the fan spins at.
