The only fan I have is the one suppplied with the CPU upgrade.

The card I got was a half-height one, no fans on it. But as a  
precaution I did put some extra heatsinks
on the chips of the card like in the link below:

As stated before, running without a hitch, sleeps no problem. I even  
experimented with overclocking
it using ATIccelerator II (http://thomas.perrier.name/). Just for the  
sake of it I underclocked it also to
see if running cooler would help but didn't make much difference.  
After failing miserably to break it I
eventually restored the card to original clock speeds!

Cheers
