[QUOTE="psykix, post: 846887, member: 96309"] I currently have a MSI Cyclone GTX460 GPU in my Mediaportal server. I was playing games on it also, but have since removed them and switched to an Xbox360 for gaming. I'm using SAF6, and I want to switch to using the LAVF CUVID codec - however, whilst the GTX460 is silent on idle or using PDVD11 codec, as soon as I switch to LAV codec, the fan speed ramps up on the GTX460 and is unbearable.. I can replace the card with another model - I'd want whatever the best silent / or near silent card is at the moment. I should also say, I mostly watch live tv, so 1080i stuff.. The other option is to try to quieten the card I have - an aftermarket cooler or bios change, but it's very difficult to figure out what or how - underclock it maybe? I'd prefer not to have to run Afterburner, so BIOS mod would be better.. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
