Seriosly Gigabyte ive lot faith in you. You make a good card with an excellent cooler and its riddled with so many problems that it becomes a burden to use.
2. Why is the fan stuck on 55% at idle. The fan cannot be adjusted any lower. Why is it hardcoded to stay on 55% as a minimum?
At least i would expect a big copmany like gigabyte to fix the 2nd problem. Seriosly a locked rpm on idle, thats so not 2010.
Have you used many high-end cards?
I have and without exception they all have fan profiles which prevent idiots from turning the bloody fans off, my Asus cards bottom out at 40%, perhaps that would be more to your taste?
I suspect a lot of us would just love cards where we can chop and change every parameter however we like, but my instinct tells me commercial interests dictate that having a zillion cards returned because some n00b turned the fan off, or cranked the voltage up high enough to cook an egg are not likely to let that happen
