| Low power 9800GT's Anyone know where I can get one of these in the UK? seen Galaxy do one but cant see any resellers. Seen that there passive and use no PCI-E power connector so will be perfect for my HTPC / lan box. Also anyone know if Nvidia / ATI are bringing anyting out thats more powerfull yet still passive / no PCI-E power? 40nm cards perhaps? |

| Re: Low power 9800GT's That is a hell of a lot of power to get rid of without a fan. At work I have a passive 6200 card (just enough for dual head) and honestly, even that gets damned hot. You either need big case fans or a fan on the card. I would aim for a card with a huge, slow & quiet fan on it. |
