From all the posts I have seen, there is actually only 2 cards, the 1900 XT/XTX and the 1900 Crossfire version.
It looks like the XT is simply an underclocked XTX (identical card with a different bios flash)
My 1900XT runs at 81C under 100% load with the fan stepped to 36% from it's idle 51C / 27%.
I do hear the fan step up a bit with no audio running, I guess it's all in the ear of the beholder ... With audio running, I don't hear it at all.

Big thanks!
