Hi, I posted this in the Overclocking/Cooling section but had no response so thought I might try here.
Looking for advice on best cooler for a GTS250. There are however a couple of things to mention about the job the card is doing.
The card is used in my media rig (HTPC) so basically it does not get used to the max as it will never be playing games. I ideally want it as quiet as possible so a passive cooler would be best but I am open to suggestions.
One extra point is height. I am space restricted due to the card being used in an HTPC case. I have about 1 inch spare above the height of the back plate.
I had the Arctic-Cooling Accelero for a previous card and this was slightly too height. About 1/2 inch of the height of this would fit comfortably.
