Following the above link, I too now have an FX5200 card in my Iyonix.
The card is branded "CM3", with 128 MB DDR RAM
This also has a small fan which emits an annoying level of noise.
The card has quite a large metal heat sink. The fan is very easy to
disconnect, or to add a resistor to reduce speed (as I did many years ago
to tame a Wintel M/C).
Since the Iyonix is unlikely to stress the card much (no 3D acceleration
for starters), is that fan really necessary, at that speed ?
Has anyone any experience with this ?
