Hello,
Yesterday I flashed my GT430 to reduce fan speed an everything works really well. I reduced it to 30% the minimum fan speed (it was placed in 60%) and the change is awesome! it is almost noiseless.
I have to say that my HTPC box is really small and where de card is placed it's not well ventilated, so the video card stays in 50º C degrees...but i've read that the maximum temp is 98º, so i think its no problem...Today I will do more test playing 1080p videos to check the temp.
I'm running a linux machine, but I had to use a windows machine to create the bootable DOS USB and to modify the firmware.
I've used this software to create the USB:

and to get BIOS and modify it NvFlash - NiBitor from the post mentioned in this same threath.
Sorry if my english it's not perfect
Regards!
