The thing is that every low profile card with this chipset has 2 pin fan connector. So i unfortunately guess the fans are audible in every scenario.
too bad for a LP card that surely goes into an HTPC.
Too bad i just spent 80 euros too

You could always regulate it yourself by giving it external power. Running Ground (black) off a 5V and the Positive (red) off the 12V, you will actually run the fan at the difference of that, or 7V. It's a cheap trick to regulate fan speed, but it's easy and works like a charm :P Since no motherboard fan headers have (to my knowledge) 5v and 12v, you'll just need to run it off a 4pin Molex connector :\
Otherwise you'd either need to do a resistor mod (you'll have to google that one sorry) or run a fan controller (potentiometer or rheostat).
And here my ASUS 5
770 has horrible fan moderation and when set to "auto" in CCC, it doesn't ramp the fan up fast enough and before you know it the cards (as I have 2) are running 90-105C and only like 50-60% fan speed
