    I'm so damn tired of hearing the "jet engine" starts everytime I've play DOD, Far Cry, Half-Life or any other game that needs my gfx card to work alittle extra. Do any of you have experience of water cooling? or are there any super silent fan that works (altho I doubth it) beacuse i rather pay alittle extra then getting a headache everytime i play games :/

    Haha. I have passive cooling, 40°C idle and 60-70°C in stress (games etc). All it needs is a WORKING case cooling, nothing else.

    Get some kind of fan/overclocking control application. I do personally use ASUS smartdoctor to adjust my clock settings and fans on my gfx card. It's a little buggy, but most of it work.

    nVidia have a utility where you can set the fan speed, I usually have mine at 30-40% for 2D and 60% for 3D. It also goes faster when it reachs certain temps as a safety.

    Could I please have a link to the most recent one? I have used nTune or whatever Nvidias one was called, in the past, but afaik they are not developing on it anymore.
