[QUOTE="jimwin, post: 515320, member: 62878"] I'm getting a fair bit of heat build up in my media pc, and it looks like its being caused by the fanless nvidia 8500 card, which seems to be hottest thing in the case, and as is very large, so also restricts air flow. It doesn't help that its in an Antec NSK 1300 case, so there is already bad air flow. My thought is to replace it with an ATI card, either a 4350 or 4550. I'm thinking that one with a quiet fan will extract the hot air better, and hopefully not be too noisy. The PC is used for movies etc only, no games. Will the lower spec 4350 be good enough for DXVA MKV files and also Blue Rays? Will they both run cool while doing the DXVA thing? I've seen people complaining of issues with 1080i Blue Rays with the lower spec cards? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
