Thanks for the suggestions. AFTER I installed another (very quiet) fan, I
finally found how to adjust the fan speed using the ATItools software! There
is no adjustment of fan speed using standard drivers. Still, I feel somewhat
better running a quiet fan at full speed than a noisy one at a low speed.
Thank you for the reference to Zalman; I was not familiar with them.

I think for an ATI X600 XT card that you can access a section of the drivers
control panel, or Control Center Graphics Settings, called Performance and
under this is a OverDrive component. (I believe this option is only
available with the "XT" models.)
I'm getting this info from TweakGuides,
http://www.tweakguides.com/ATICAT_8.html
Your card looks like it comes with Gigabytes overclocking software, V-Tunner
II, as well.
If the fan noise with that cooler can't be lowered, perhaps take a look and
see if Zalman has something that will fit that particular card. They offer
both fanless heatpipe coolers and large active heatsinks with low rpm fans
for GPUs.
