Can intel lucid virtu work like this?

Hi,

I have a pretty quite audio system for recording and mixing and another machine for gaming and everything else etc.

My question is, can a board & cpu which has intel lucid virtu work with say a nvidia gtx470 but shut the fans off when its not in use on that GFX card?

That would mean I could combine my machines and the fans on the GTX470 would only kicking in when say for example I'm running my games from Steam. But when working on tracks the machine would be back to the quite mode if you like.

Cheers, Thomas.

I wouldn't have though so.

If the GTX 470 is in the PC it's going to be idling even if not being used.

Even at idle speeds the fan still needs to be on otherwise the card will probably overheat.

The GTX 470 just isn't designed for passive cooling even at idle.

Sure, makes sense!
I'll just keep the two separate for now.
Cheers, Thomas.
