    I bought a new dell recently with the 256MB nVidia™ GeForce 8600GTS graphics card

    Its loud as HELL and very annoying. I opened up the case and it looks to me like its the fan on it going crazy the whole time

    Is there anything I can do to shut it up without compromising the safety of my computer overheating or should i just get a new one?

    If so, can someone recommend a quiet graphics card? Only requirement is that it can handle dual monitors, I wont be playing games or anything

    8600gts are gaming cards, not sure how you would shut up without modding it/ spending a bit on it....

    I would sell it if your not going to game on it...

    Nice dual dvi 7600gs here with no fan...

    no problem!, download this program. Instal. And follow the first two steps on this page. follow all the steps if you really dont want to risk your card overheating, (but as you said, its not for gaming and intense purposes, so its probably not getting too hot anyway.

    job done!
