I seem to remember that the original FX5200 cards that Neil Spellings 
sold had a fan on them but he changed to ones that didn't when supply 
the next batch. Luckily he run out of them at the SEShow so I got one 
without a fan and a very welcome noise reduction it was as well as a 
speed up for the Iyonix.
