Do people want to know an easy way to make the ATI 6990 much quieter?

1) Remove cooler shroud.
2) Take off heatsinks
3) Clean off the nasty crappy stock goo
4) Apply MX3 or similarly good thermal paste
5) Refit the heatsinks and cooler shroud

Say hello to up to -10 degrees and lower noise. Although you cant get around how bad the vertical blade fan design is, the thermal paste change should make a difference.
