Coming from running a Crossfire X1900XTX system for the past month or two, I was quite concerned when I first fired up my system with the 7950GX2 installed - concerned because the system was almost dead silent in comparison, even with the side panel of the case off. I initially thought I forgot to plug the power cable in because my ears are used to the jet engine like startup noise two X1900XTX's produce. So much so that when I gave a glimpse to the CPU fan as I bent over to check the power cable, I had to double take as what I saw was a happily spinning CPU fan, followed by the ever welcoming startup "beep" from the PC speaker.
