Recently I got a VF700 and it is not silent, makes some bearing noise that is bothering me. It's not horrible but I can still plainly hear it with the case closed. My previous VF700 (on X850 right now) is not doing this so I know I got a bad unit. I want to try something else.

I would like to get a Panaflo Hydro Bearing 120mm fan and use this bracket here to mount it right next to my X1800XT.

Do you guys think this will move enough air over the Zalman heat sink to keep the card cool enough that I can just leave the Zalman's fan turned off?
