I think Xbitlabs test is a bit off the mark, because of their system setup. What person in his right mind would go lengths to spend less than $200 on the graphics when the rest of the rig is all state of the art? Me too. I bought a good CPU and plenty of RAM so I can do video editing and photo edit...

Good review. I think it would be a great idea to include a section in each review on how suitable the graphics cards are for after-market coolers. Assessing stock fans is useful, but for a truly silent system you need a passive cooler. Questions are: What aftermarket coolers would fit, and Can passi...

I agree. The 4670 is a terrific card which will give you more future-proofing than most cheaper ones. And it is a good fanless card. Tom's Hardware does a monthly round-up of the best value for money gamiing cards. The 4670 is on the list this month: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-r...

+1 for PWM fans.

There are some other articles out there, but I would really like to see an SPCR assessment!

I too think SPCR will be around a lot longer. Systems might become smaller, but their components will still give off heat - including solid state drives. So they will still need to be cooled - quietly.

My thanks to the whole team at SPCR for all the great work!

If anyone has any tips??? I have fitted an Arctic Cooling Accelero S2 to the Asus HD4670. Fits comfortably inside a P182 ...
