Alright, I have waited for two months to get a passive HD5750 from a danish shop, but it will never get in stock. Can someone help me find an online shop in Germany or UK who wants to ship to Denmark and accepts Mastercard or Visa payment? For some reason, those I've found who actually ships to Denm...

According to the danish importers, we won't see the card here in Q1.

Re: Why not try it out stock

I continue to be amazed at just how quiet this card is. I was expecting to HAVE to replace the stock cooler but this thing is great! Totally silent during normal desktop use even while using it in Photoshop. I am very happy with the upgraded stock cooler and see no reason to upgrade and void the wa...

As far as I remember, the first fanless Powercolor 5750 that came out, used a lot more power than the reference 5750's.

Does anyone know for a fact, that their Go Green edition uses as little power as the reference, or even less? If so, I'll purchase it right away.

I really need a new card, so I'm following the market for a sillent gaming card closely. I would prefer it being passive from the beginning. I could obviously just buy the PowerColor, but I am very reluctant to do so, due to the reports of bad idle wattage on their cards. Has someone seen any review...

Just to add, I don't have huge feelings about any particular passive VGA-cooler, as long as I can get a non-PowerColor 5750 passive cooled (or semi-passive with a 120mm fan).

Alright, now PowerColor is out with a passive cooled HD 5750 card. However, I really don't want a PowerColor card, as I have pretty poor experiences with them in the past. But seeing that they have cooled it passively, I was thinking about purchasing a XFX or Asus HD 5750, and put a passive cooler o...

Did you finish your build, and did you end up cooling a 5850 passively? - If so, I'm currently looking into doing the same thing

Advice on a new i7-860 build

I am planning to buy a whole new system within a few weeks, and I'd like it to be as silent as possible, as my computer is turned on most of the time, and is currently placed in my livingroom. Therefore, it needs to be silent, and if should also be as low-power as possible. For the parts, I have cho...

Best silent video card, november 09

I am about to order parts for my new computer, and as I am trying to get it as silent as possible, I would like to know which card is the best silent option right now. I would really like a ATI 5850 with for instance an Accelero S1 Rev 2 with a Nexus Real Silent 120mm fan at 5v, but I am not sure if...
