Best silent 9600GT!
Moderators: NeilBlanchard, Ralf Hutter, sthayashi, Lawrence Lee
Hi all,
I have an ECS 9600GT (the "nvidia cooler") and I am quite happy with the temperatures idle (43) and "crysis gaming" (62), but my PC is also a "media" server and it is 24/7 on, so ... I am looking for the bios of Gigabyte GeForce 9600 GT passive cooled (GV-NX96T512HP).
As I read in meny internet review has different 2D (idle) settings so its consumes less in windows desktop.
Can anyone help me with this ?
P.S. My first post here and happy to be with you

Not sure I understand, but if you are looking for the Gigabyte 9600 GT (GV-NX96T512HP):

My experiments with this haven't worked yet. It must be possible as that Gigabyte card does it, it's just any time I setup 2D/3D speeds as I would with any other card, it seems to take an entirely different set of clocks, all of the time!tifozif1 wrote:I don't need the Giagabyte card, I need the bios of this card to give it a look and try to modify my ECS 9600GT bios so it would also have different 2D/3D clocks and volts (as the Gigabyte 9600GT) so the power consumption (and heat) of my 24/7 system is lower
Yes, that is exactly what I deal with, that is why I need this bios, in order to find out a solution.edh wrote:My experiments with this haven't worked yet.

about the gigabyte 9600gt, in reading some reviews i've noticed two things.
1.) this card seems to run rather hot, but i'm wondering how much of a temp improvement there would be by lowering the clock speeds to a stock card (since its factory overclocked).
2. the heat sink doesn't cover the ram chips. could this be an issue?
and a more general question: how does one reduce/elimate "coil whine"? (since some people have reported that problem with the card). ie. how loud do the fans have to be to cover the noise?

So, Asus GeForce 9600GT 512MB GDDR3 Silent PCI-Express 2.0, 2xDVI-I/HDCP, V-Cool?

Or Gigabyte GeForce 9600GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI-Express 2.0, 2xDVI/HDCP, Heatpipe?

Which one?
Thanks!

Neither! This one doesn't have any coil whine and runs cool: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814134040
I can't get ECS where I live. :'(JVM wrote:Neither! This one doesn't have any coil whine and runs cool: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814134040
Would perhaps getting an eVGA 9600GT and strapping on an Accelero S1 be better?
The Accelero S1 should be fine, even the Accelero S2 would be fine. I know the ECS version with Accelero S2 has little heat sinks on the card, but i don't know if the eVGA also has those heat sinks.krille wrote:I can't get ECS where I live. :'(JVM wrote:Neither!

RAM sinks appear to be bundled with the Accelero S1.JVM wrote:The Accelero S1 should be fine, even the Accelero S2 would be fine.

"Together with the bundled RAM heat sinks and voltage regulator heat spreader, Accelero S1 Rev. 2 provides an all-round passive solution that achieves the best cooling performance."
