You better get out of the house and even then you will hear the hiss.
You know what, I have a zotac 9800gtx+ and at idle I don't hear its fan.
But if it goes over 50%, and when playing COD 4 the fan ramps up to 70-80% you'd better be wearing headphones. I don't care if the gpu goes to 80-90 degrees, they are designed to go up to 105-100 degrees but I do care about not having a tornado in the room.
So yes ATI's decision to put silence before temperature is a good design.
Its not as if they let the gpu go beyond the maximal temperature in any case.
