    I have a new Radeon 8500 I installed in a computer Im building to sell. It works great but the fan is ungodly loud. Its louder than the case fan. I tried the fan from another 8500 and its the same. I was wondering if there was a program to adjust the fan speed. There are no mounting hole in this card so I cant replace the fan.

    Or you could go to your local electronics shop, buy a trimmer costing less than ยข50 and use that (some basic electronics skill required).

    Ya or you could go buy a resistor for 50cents and hook that up

    Thanks. I was hoping to do something in software. My mobo has a program called Silent Tek that lets me control all the fans in the system through Windows but not video card.

    You could try hooking the vid card fan to one of the mobo's fan connectors.

    tere is a software for nvidia cards which is called RivaTune wich allows you to monitor your gpu temperatures and also change the gpu fan speed. But i havnt seen anything for Rdeon sorry.
