<br>
Can anyone recommend a fanless VDPAU-compatible card; and also a dual core CPU that can run fanless?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Mark<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Hello,<br><br>My setup is not fanless, but it's still very quiet. It's my only BE and also my main FE system.<br><br>Case : Antec NSK2480 ; stock 380W power supply; stock 2 x 120mm Antec tri-cool fans, running on the lowest speed<br>
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H with on-board, fanless NVidia 9400<br>CPU : Intel Core2Duo e8400 running at 3GHz<br>CPU cooler : Scythe <span class="big_title">NINJA MINI Rev.B</span> - Note : I don't use any fan on this cooler<br>
RAM : 2x1GB Corsair XMS2<br>HDD : WD Caviar Black 1TB + Seagate 250GB (a 2nd 1TB drive will be added soon)<br><br>I'm running a Folding@Home SMP client (CPU is under load 24/7) on this machine and the core temperature is around 50 to 53 celcius.<br>
<br>I hope this helps.<br></div></div>
