That's a 4670, £20 more than a 4650.

How is the rest of the PC made up? You won't notice the fan on something like a 4650 if you have a few others in the PC anyway. I wouldn't get too hung up on getting a passively cooled card unless the rest of the PC is pretty much silent.

That's a good card though, will do you well.

Let me go pop the lid on my Fusion case. I'm a bit concerned about clearances with the heatsink on that one.

And fair point about having a fan on the card. I've got the fans ramped up on mine at the moment but by far the loudest fan I have is the one I cable tied on to the hard drive cage to help with airflow there (a fan you wont have as it's a custom mod).

That would be a good alternative if Mark doesn't reckon that heatsink will fit.

I'm back, and I was right to be concerned. It's hard to judge precisely but I suspect that big heatsink will get in the way of putting the lid back on the case.

I've checked sizes and it seems like it'll go. SO I've ordered it

edit. Ah.

Mark · 25-07-2009, 13:27

It's going to be a very close call, but I hope you're right. Good luck.

PS - Close enough that you might be able to use the lid as a heatsink.

If it doesn't fit you can always send it back under DSR or something. Or be manly and cut a hole in the case

4670 comes with UVD2.2 as well.

Mark · 25-07-2009, 13:35

If it does fit, I might even consider it. It's probably no upgrade from my 3850 but I'll be needing another card when I do my next build and I could put the 3850 in that and go passive in the media PC.

tee hee. just [phoned up and cancelled it

silly me!!
It wont Mark http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...php?p=16742317

so may go for this http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/512Mb...e-HD-4670-DDR3 same one, but without silent cooling. THo I've heard the 4670s a lot fo the time dont have a fan throttle - so run at 100% all the time?
