I have an XFX GTX 285. It also runs at the standard 40% and is not noticeable in my system. It starts to become noticeable around 50%. I tried running it at 100% just for giggles, it was quite loud. I've left it on auto and never hear it while playing Far Cry 2, Frontlines- Fuel of War or...
Don't care on HD-DVD as I have no discs and don't plan on buying any. Getting ready to start buying BluRay discs instead of DVD's. My problem with WinDVD is Corel, they seem to screw everything up I love that they buy.

As a stop gap I have a 9500GT holding place while I figure out what I'm going to do and the computer is perfectly stable. Way to go ATI with your crappy drivers ruining awesome hardware!
I had the card. Key words had the card. First the good. The cooler really works well and was quiet. Didn't notice the fan at 25% which was enough to keep the temps in the low 50's celcius. 40-100% were progressively noticeable, but not that bad. The bad. Memory has a smooth copper heat...
