G400 MAX fan
I put my old G400 MAX into my server PC (the Millennium I was starting to fail). The fan on it has been making quite a bit of noise. It's probably the noisiest fan in there. Since I don't need to use the 3D capabilities of the card, would it be possible to just remove the fan altogether and not have the G400 overheat?

No... the card will become much to hot, the Heatskin ist far to small.System:

Isn't your G400 still in warranty LS?"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." -- Dr. Seuss

The warranty is three years, right? I received my G400 at the end of August, 1999. So I guess it just expired

My G400 has run without a heatsink for several months without problems, if you clock back your Max a bit you should be fine without the fan, as long as you don't push it."That's right fool! Now I'm a flying talking donkey!"
