Re: Quiet GeForce GTX 650 Ti card
I finally bought the card (MSI GTX 650 Ti Power Edition with the Cyclone 2 heatsink) and installed it in my system. It is rather loud for the first 30 seconds after the system is turned on (because, as I found out on the box, it runs in reverse to clean the heatsink), and then reasonably quiet. The ...

Re: Quiet GeForce GTX 650 Ti card
I have to wait until they promote a driver new enough to Debian Testing that handles this card I will certainly post an update here once I have it though.

Re: Quiet GeForce GTX 650 Ti card
From looking at the reviews I also think that the MSI will be the best choice.
Thanks for your help, everyone!

Quiet GeForce GTX 650 Ti card
NVidia introduced GeForce GTX 650 Ti quite recently. I was thinking about upgrading my old card, and this one is right in my target budget. It seems to be quite energy-efficient for the performance as well, so hopefully a good candidate for a quiet card... Can anyone recommend a reasonably quiet car...

Re: Quiet GeForce 460 GTX
But as already said, this is the stock scenario: modding the BIOS to lower spin at idle, and taming the fan curve at load using Rivatuner/Afterburner (with a trade off on temperature) may substantially improve the figures. Yeah, I noticed in some reviews that these Cyclone cards run ridiculously co...

Re: Quiet GeForce 460 GTX
Which app? I am actually going to play around with programming some financial models in cuda myself, I am not planning to use any of the standard applications at this point. However, unless you mod the bios (there's a thread about), every 460 is loud, even those MSI (and most of 560, which are usua...

Quiet GeForce 460 GTX
Hi, I am looking for a second hand quiet nvidia 460 GTX card (for cuda calculations - so I can't have a Radeon even though many people claim they have better architecture these days). My budget is about £100, I can stretch a bit if there is something really worthwhile. I would like to avoid having t...

Quiet nvidia 460 GTX
Hi, I am considering upgrading my horribly loud 250gts to 460 (either 768MB or 1GB will do). Could someone recommend a reasonably out-of-the-box quiet solution? For example, did anyone try this Gigabyte model: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1gb-gigabyte-gtx-460-oc-3600mhz-gddr5-gpu-715mhz-shader-clo...

I should have included more details, sorry. I have WD15EARS. The load cycle count after 4 months of usage: 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 185 185 000 Old_age Always - 45122 The 4kb sectors DO cause issues in Linux, because the drive reports 512b sector size.

WD Caviar Green drives in Linux
Hi, I have recently bought 1.5 TB Caviar Green drive (the new version with 64MB of Cache) and all the problems started :( First I noticed that the performance of this drive was shockingly bad (worse than 5 year old USB stick). After loads of searching and asking questions I found out that in order t...

Making Asus ENGTS250 quiet
Hi, I have just assembled a new desktop PC using, apart from the graphics card, components recommended by SPCR. Not surprisingly everything but the graphics card is very quiet :) I have the ASUS ENGTS250/DI/512MD3 version (sorry, I can't post links yet) When I first installed it it made noise compar...

Hi Neil, Thanks for the quick reply! To be honest currently I don't have any hot components, but I want to have open options for the future. Maybe I would invest in a graphics card 8800 level, I read that there are some new GPU coolers on the market. I guess all the extra airflow will be necessary i...

Cases with 1 front/2 rear 120 mm fans
Hi, I am new to silent computing and my current PC is horribly noisy. I started looking for components to build a more quiet one, but I have problems to find a decent case. I am looking for a simple solution: A full tower, with 2 rear and one front 120 mm fans. Do you know any such models? I am not ...
