    quiet/passive cooled PCIe videocard?

    just a quick follow up - have the Gigabyte 8600GT "silent pipe" running under Vista 64-bit Ultimate for 3 days and no problems, good card and stays relatively cool. The card is very small compared to 8800GTX it replaced, got a lot of room in my case now, less heat & better ventilation. Vista...

    quiet/passive cooled PCIe videocard?

    thanks for another good tip - since the card is such a bargain, I may try one as well just for the heck of it to have a comparison, and maybe see how it performs. I'd give it a try in case the 8600gt would prove itself to be too hot or something like that. I pumped up so much $$$ into my machine...

    quiet/passive cooled PCIe videocard?

    I'm not too familar with the ATI's offerings since the days of Radeon 9500/9700 series.. been with nVidia since. Also, I ordered the 8600gt silent card, I'll see how it goes... Thanks for the tip though!

    quiet/passive cooled PCIe videocard?

    I didn't hear about them, but I'm not too familiar with Sparkle brand - I think they sell power supplies here under this name... I'm probably going to check out Circuity City tonight if they'd have some suitable card on hand for fair price, but if not I'll probably proceed with 8600gt from...

    quiet/passive cooled PCIe videocard?

    I'm aiming to get rid of some fans definitely - although each of those fans is relatively quiet alone, all together they do generate some hum. There are 8 fans spinning in this PC (3x120mm, 1x90mm, 1xCPU, 1x chipset, 1xGPU, 1xPSU.. that's way too many. I managed to cut it down from 9, the...

    quiet/passive cooled PCIe videocard?

    OK, I gave it another look, and I think that I'll order that suggested GIGABYTE GV-NX86T256H Silent GeForce 8600 GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 . The card is single slot an probably not that big afterall. The card seems like good compromise between the performance and lowered power consumption...

    quiet/passive cooled PCIe videocard?

    thanks, checking it out; I though about 8600GT as well... just for illustration, here is a picture of my PC internals; you can see how crammed everything really is - but the main reason for all those fans is gtx and raid. without them I think I can remove some fans and gain less noise and...

    quiet/passive cooled PCIe videocard?

    thanks for the suggestions guys; yes, I don't want to rebuilt the PC with new case (although that P182 looks good, probably would dampen the noise well), I just want to trim out (at least for this time when I don't have time or desire to play games) power hungry heat generating stuff. I figured...

    quiet/passive cooled PCIe videocard?

    hmmm, there is maybe something I could work out - I have a "Zalman bracket" with 90mm fan - it is a bracket that mounts normally on card slot screws I believe - it doesn't fit over 8800gtx and so I have it mounted on floppy cage and cool RAM with it - but with smaller videocard I think it could...

    quiet/passive cooled PCIe videocard?

    well it sounds a bit like that 8800GT may also be an overkill for me at this point. I feel that 8800gtx is not too noisy on it own with stock fan - problem is the amount of power it draws and the resulting heat it generates (I keep blowing 120mm fan over it, and also removed all the slot covers...

    quiet/passive cooled PCIe videocard?

    thanks - I'll check out the 8800GT with passive cooling options (Accelero S1?)- as long as the card is not too power hungry and stays somewhat cool when idling or being used for desktop work, I suppose it could be an option. Surely, I wish I could preserve a tiny bit of gaming performance, but I...

    quiet/passive cooled PCIe videocard?

    thanks for reply, well, I actually own (and currently use) the 8800GTX, but I don't need any gaming performance anymore - so I'm sort of trying to "dumb down", slow down/quiet down my current PC. No Crysis or other gaming with intended passive cooled video... I'm looking for a videocard...

    quiet/passive cooled PCIe videocard?

    Hi guys, I need an advice here... Basically, I want to get rid of noise and heat that my current PC generates; I put it together originally for FSX, Crysis and other gaming @ 1600x1200, but I lately don't play games whole a lot. The machine is not extremely noisy, but not quiet either and...

    LCD Buyer's Guide

    ...just received and setup HP2065, and the display looks straightforward incredible; I have my old NEC 1940cx with it side-by-side for comparison, and it's such a significant difference... however, I'll wait with more evaluation until after dark when I should be able to see how even the screen...

    LCD Buyer's Guide

    yes it is a better deal then amazon, but the shipping could take a week or more ( I'm in California). I have overnight shipping from amazon for only $3.99 - I prefer that because they seem to ship these 1-day orders by DHL - so that should be less bouncing on the trucks then shipment by UPS...
