Card is working nicely with an Accelero S1 on it running passively. 40-60C, stable, fast and rather quiet stock (silent now). First went with an Asus model which was technically superior but I had a horrible experience. Highly recommended card - great value.

Have had it running without any problems in both Ubuntu and Windows XP for about a year runing dual monitors at 1440 by 900. I rarely notice any noise from my box so I would have to say noise is not a problem. I feel I have a very good card that does what I need it to do. I feel I paid the right price at the time, although the current price for these is almost too low. People will think they are not very good. I am tempted to buy another.
