It does kill the noise, no doubt about it. You get the leads to run it in 5V or 12V. In 5v it's silent and as good as the stock BFG 7800 GT cooler. In the 12V mode it definately keeps the chip cooler but is a bit noiser. Still not at BFG stock cooler levels. Indeed the girlfriend said both were acceptable...so there you go it passes the GF test!
Anyway yes officially it does void your warranty. But if you're are RMA'ing the card and you put the stock fan back on are they going to know?

Also get yourself a tube of Artic Silver 5 if you haven't already.
