I have a low profile PCI NVIDIA GeForce 5200 graphics card that I just
installed and the fan is really noisy. Also I'm running it in a
laptop docking station so it's on top of my desk where I can hear it
nice and clear. Is there anyway to slow down the fan speed or other
wise minimize the noise? It's a DVI card if that makes a difference.

No you can't, actually. That underpowered video card generally has to
strain to provide good graphics details, and so the cooling fan has to run
at higher speed to keep the card from thermally failing.
