I have a Q9450 and a Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme 775 maybe I can somehow put a fan below the GPU cooler that will blow air up throw the GPU and CPU heatsinks and into the upper fan (I need to check the direction of the fins on both heasinks...

actually that is a good question - what do you think? On the one hand a case fan moves air from the entire case but on the other hand I have here two very specific heat sources (CPU and even more GPU). The CPU heatsink is not even warm to the touch - have no idea how hot the GPU heatsink will be but...

This case is very similar to my rig (same P182, similar GPU and more or less the same CPU heatsink - mine has no fan). At the end of the day I will have 3 built in 120mm fans (which are very quite) plus probably another one I will add to blow on the GPU+CPU - it will probably be a NOCTUA 120mm 17db ...

I will probably do just that very soon.
I am just a bit concerned that I will damage my card when replacing the cooler.

the 9600gt is much cooler. My 9800gtx is very warm and has a very laud fan. At 50% fan it is very laud (for me - I am very sensitive to noise) and the temp is 60c. At 30% I can still hear it and it gets very hot - 78c - both numbers at idle. I really need to replace it with a good passive like the H...

not exactly good news... I read that TR had problems with the first revision of the GT and took it off the market and than it came back (hopefully better) so maybe there is something there and the new version is better. The Arctic Cooling Accelero Extreme 9800 - has fans although in the link you men...

Yeah I read the HardOCP one on the 8800GT. is the 8800GT warmer than the 9800GTX? I will probably not replace my 9800GTX with a 9800GTX+ (kind of silly don't you think). Maybe I will replace it with some future model (even something that will replace the current 9600GT should be O.K. for me as I don...

I won't argue about the price but I really like to see numbers when it comes to passive cooling a 9800gtx - I looked all over the net but nothing - idea?

HD3450 will probably be my choice for the server. Do you have any reference comparing passive HR-03 GT vs. Accelero S1 Rev. 2? I had AC products before and and they were not of very high quality. TR on the other hand have amazing products (I have 3 - all extremely well made and passively cooling 3 h...

My English isn't that amazing either so don't feel bad :) Lets do it one by one: 1. For the server I think the HD3450 will be great - not sure what company but probably just what I will find. 2. Regarding the table - I have written more than my fare share of reviews (I was a hardware reporter for ma...

Hi, Thanks for the informative list. My only concern is that TDP does not equal temperature (yes they are connected but it also depend on other factors such as the specific passive cooling applied etc.) this is why I want a similar table with specific card models and their temperature (not just TDP)...

Hi all, everything is PCI-E. 1. I was kind of hoping for some sort of reference (I did a fairly long internet search but found nothing) - a table compering different passive GPUs and how hot they get (really how come nobody made such a thing with so many roundups on the net). 2. Its going to be a la...

hi, 1. The server is already working - and I am probably not going to replace the MB any time soon (unless it breaks). What I need to know and wasn't able to find is what is the coolest passive graphic card around. 2. In the HTPC I do want to be able to run games so performance is a factor - I still...

Hello all, I am looking for 3 different graphic cards - they all should be passive with different performance depanding on task: 1. a GPU for my server - 2d only. cheap, low power and most impotently lowest temp possible. 2. a GPU for my future HTPC - I was thinking about a passive 9600 (gigabyte?) ...
