Passive Video Card on Dell Dimension 9200

27 Oct 2009 03:33PM

I have a very quiet DELL Dimension 9200 with an old X300 video card. This DELL is maily used for office work and very rarely for Gaming. I like the quiet BTX case of this computer and would therefore like a passive video card. I saw the following 2 new options on the WEB:

- SAPPHIRE 4670 ULTIMATE http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/sapphire_hd_4670_ultimate/

- GIGABYTE 9600GT SILENT (uses 55nm Chip technology)  http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=2384&page=4

Both are low on power consumption and fanless. You may play with them also in the worst case a game...

Does anyone have experiences with this cards and maybee even build in a DELL Dimension 9200 case?

The 4670 is a good card, especially for video playback. That would be my choice. (I have both.)

But is the airflow of the Dimension 9100/9200 strong enough for a passive video card?

I selected a Club 3D 4670 passive. It is great 18 Watt Idle (48 Grad Celcius) / 58 Watt 3D (65 Grad Celcius) with the normal case airflow.
