5900 NU- - -Is there a "quieter" Cooling option?

I just got a great deal on the PNY version of this, 5900 NU, from a fellow trader on AT.
Going from a Hercules Radeon 8500 to this (Herc is FS/T now...) and I swear the noise level for this card is significant. I have built a semi-quiet case, and I am just wondering if there is anyone that makes a quiet set-up (Zalman? ThermalTake?) for the the 5900 series.
Thanks.
 
First thing you may want to try is just downclocking the 2D Core (and if you like, memory speeds) on the card using the nVidia Coolbits Registry Tweak (you can find it at Guru3D.com). The fan should automatically adjust its speed to the lower heat output and make it easier on your ears when you're just typing in Word or browsing the internet.

If that's not a good workaround, then Zalman's ZM80C-HP with the Zalman ZM-OP1 might be something to look into.

Peace
