i suggest you test your 4870 out first.
they may have fixed the problem after so long.

gainward looks good like the iceq anyway, its just those like powercolor which has 1 giant fan that needs a battle axe..

i had the iceq 4870 1st, had no heat problems, even left the fan at 40% speed when not Oc or gaming.

1st time i'm trying the HIS big fan from boon. will get it have a look then leave a small review here.
the most i can foresee is that you have to reapply thermal tape on the chips, which is about RM15.

btw i just saw manli HD4870 1GB DDR5 for RM520
do you have heat issues? is the gpu too hot?
you can try to reduce the fan speed, that would make it not sound like a jet engine.

nope... doesnt hv heat issue...it sounds like 'tik tik tik' continously..

either..

1) you messed up fan profile via CCC/3rd Party tools (such as RivaTuner/ATITools)
2) Your fan dead.

Take note the following quote "At present U.S. online stores, such as Newegg.com, are beginning to offer the aforementioned graphics cards at the prices noted above. Traditionally, price-cuts will take effect in Europe and Asia several weeks later."
