[QUOTE="flokel, post: 296304, member: 15442"] with the software reporting 65°C in idle state I would feel a little uncomfortable as well about the amount dissipated: the same card heats up the case the same way regardless of it's cooling solution/temperature (except for cooling solutions that blow the air directly out of the case) If you don't mind the current issue with ati cards ( [url=http://mantis.team-mediaportal.com/view.php?id=1192]0001192: Flickering Tv-guide and other overlays with EVR enabled - MediaPortal Bugtracker[/url]) I'd go again for an Ati 3450 with a larger heat sink. I'd just make sure that the pci slot next to the graphic card/ heat sink is not in use and that the pci bezel (Blende?) is not mounted so that cold air can directly flow over the heat sink (this really helps a lot when using passively cooled cards) [/QUOTE]
