Hi guys,
I'm planning to build a quiet gaming PC and want the quietest graphic card I can find out of the box as I want to avoid replacing the cooler.
The ASUS Radeon 6850 DirectCU seems like a real treat: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1126-page9.html
But so does Gigabyte GTX 460 SOC, according to some:

However, it's hard to find additional reviews of the Gigabyte GTX 460 SOC, and I've only seen one or two that deals with noise level. I'm especially worried that the noise level at idle will be too loud, because I've read that the fans has a minimum speed of 40%.
Does anyone of you own a Gigabyte GTX 460 SOC? If so, how much does it sound compared to your other components?
Thanks!
