Yes it is. It was a well documented flaw of the FX5800 Ultra back in the day. There isn't a review from back then that doesn't comment negatively on all the fan noise. They completely overhauled the fan when the FX5800 was replaced by the FX5900 so it would be less noisy.
It's like a turbine. ;o I used to have a FX5550, got it for free. that thing made so much noise I could hear it over my 102dB hitting hi-fi speakers. Not to mention the performance sucked. Made me understand why it was free.
Although I was a sort of nVidia follower back then, I took a chance and went with the Radeon 9800. At least there the fan speed was constant and not too loud. Now I'm back on nVidia again tho, lol. (But just mainly because it works best for Folding@Home).
I'd like to see a video of this card ,but with passive cooling. I'm just curious to see what will happen. Will it burst into flames or maybe produce a smoke? : )
It will go up in Smoke and Flames, on the Desktop, the Cooler is off,then the card is 70C celsius, under 3D the Fan turns on an keep the Card @ 60C celsius ;)
It sucks just like all the graphic card from the FX series. What a waste of technology. I had a FX 5500 and it was noisy too. I throw it away in the garbage and downgraded to GeForce 4 :)
The microphones of most cameras have tendency to increase the noise. I tried recording my hard drive with my camera. And when i played back the recording the hard drive sounded like a jet plane :)) Try it for your self and you will see what i mean
its probly because of the hard drives magnetic field interfering with your camera/microphone. my guitar amp which is sitting 6 feet from my computer makes a high pitched sweep when i turn on my computer. although it is a 4 hd raid array. it sounds really kool xD
Louder than my 9800gt with 100% fan
