This seems to be the case. I'm running a Radeon 7500 (with no fence) in 
my Cube, and the temperature (as reported by Thermoindock) seems to be 
about the same at idle as I saw with a GeForce 3 (with stock GPU fan). 
I have a low speed (7v) base fan installed, which appears to do a good 
job cooling the system with either card.

I guess if I get really bored, I can swap cards and run a Quake3 demo 
and check framerates with both cards ( I still have both cards). I was 
just hoping someone else had already tried this.

C'est la vie.
