Alright so i'm a fairly advanced computer user (know enough to be dangerous) but not when it comes to graphics cards. I just upgraded the on-board graphics in my Dell Optiplex 745 with a Sapphire ATI x1650 w/512MB (i know its a low-end card, but i'm not a hard-core gamer, so its great for what i need). SO, my question is should i expect its little fan to run whenever the computer is awake? ... because it currently does and while its not that loud/annoying i simply don't know what to expect from a seemingly idle machine. so are there settings for this sort of thing, etc.

Thanks in advance for your help/suggestions!
