Out of the loop for GPUs - What runs coolest these days?

[randal]

I'm looking to do a build in a cooling restricted case, so I need to carefully select my components to balance performance/cooling. With the advent of 22nm CPUs and GPUs, this should be a bit easier nowadays.

However, what runs coolest out of the new NVidia and AMD offerings at stock speeds/cooling configurations?

Cheers in advance.

Ah yeah that would have helped.

Probably about £150. Don't mind second hand either.

How long are those cards as well? I think I'm going to be limited to 9 inches for total card length too IIRC.

OCing isn't high on the list, modern GPUs are more than capable of pushing decent frame rates at 1920x1080 so I'm happy with the performance out of the box.

This exercise is all about getting the coolest running components possible.

Now that does look interesting, so long as they get the price point right. Timing is good too, I'm waiting on Thunderbolt boards to come down in a price a bit as well so that should play in nicely.
