Is there a fan on the new Radeon 9700 ? I know there isn't a Mac edition yet, but will it have a fan ?
If so, I will end with five (5) fans in my DDR 867 MHz !!!!!!!! This machine will be louder than an atomic bomb blowing right next to me ! <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> :eek:

aargh !!! 2nd post and already off topic.. <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />
<strong>Probably not. There may be a sensor that detects if the fan is working. If it doesn't detect the fan, it usually turns off the processor.</strong><hr></blockquote>
what would happen ? black screen ? the fan is connected with just +/- (2 cables).
2 wires? Than it doesn't. If the fan had 3 wires, it has a sensor. (My Voodoo 5500 does) You can take the fan off, but it is there for a reason. You may try to replace it with a Peizo-electric cooler. They are not as efficient, but since they have no moving parts, they are silent.

Perhaps it's more clever to slow down the fan instead of plling it's plug. Try a series resistor to set the fan to 7V. (R in the range of 50 ... 150 ?)

I have a radeon 32 MB in my Cube. About a year ago the Fan broke. I replaced it with a passive heatsink (very easy to do), and now my Cube is totally silent. Not a single problem with it.
The 64 MB TwinView ATI Radeon 9000 BTO option on the dual 867 and standard on the dual 1 and 1.25 GHz MDDs ship without a fan. Only an average size heat sink. I am sure the 9700 will have a fan on it. Fans are such a bummer.

do u really think there would be a sensor ?
