Here is the fan noise with my case closed from 2 or so feet away. I start at 20% and do 10% increments up to 100%. It becomes audible over case fans around 50, but 60% and up is loudest by far!

  • lol anyone else notice the bottle of lotion?

  • @Coolbri1191 "Citrus Apple" scented lol

  • @Coolbri1191 For fapping, perhaps?

  • @SuperStrive60 Hahaha nope I've got some good shit for that, hands get really dry in the winter! Fapping's alright but sex is much better :)

  • So, would you say it's a no go for home theater? Some one told me I was insaine for thinking of using it just for that, but I want the best of the best, and the only reason I don't game is because I can't see. But yeah, would this effect your abillity to hear really suttle noises in a movie? Or would this noise not even be a question in watching Blu-Ray disks.

  • @MrHamit64 I don't think it would be too loud at all on auto fan speeds, but I'd recommend something like the HIS Silence HD 6450 2GB for a home theater setup because of the low power consumption and lack of a fan, but it will still do great with HD videos and such. HD 7970 is purely a gamer's card, highest performance out of any single-gpu currently and I've still never encountered a game it struggles with.

  • ahah atleast yours is down there. Mines freaking right next to my ear!

  • Damn, that bitch is loud. I just built a system (waiting on 2 parts-SSD and wi-fi PCI card) and installed an XFX 7970 in mine. Although I've heard they are ridiculous, even compared to CrossFired 6900 series.

  • @Coolbri1191 screw the lotion im eyein those raising son, im hungry as hell haha

  • Epic lotion placement. Graz ^^

  • Okay then. I just figgured that it would be really good to have because my nephew Jonathan said that a friend told him that any thing that's good for gaming is twice as good for every thing else. So I just thought applying that logic, what the hell, this will be twice the best Media Center card ever.
