I have a Gigabyte GV-RX60X128V video card that is based on the AIT Radeon
X600 core. There is a fan on this board that runs at a high speed and is the
noisiest part of my computer. Some reviews I read say that the fan is almost
silent. I did note that the fan turns on and off during the boot cycle, so I
suspect it is controlled by the card.

I know that this video card can be overclocked. My question to the list is
how do you overclock this card? I have no intention of doing gaming and
don't want to overclock the card. However, I thought it a possibility that
the card is already in an overclock mode and hence the fan is running faster
than it needs to. I wanted to check and possibly reduce the clock settings
but don't know how this is done.

Thanks for any guidance here.

Peter
