| 1279032 | 2012-06-03 11:27:00 | i know you can take brackets off, i need to know should i get gt520 or 6450 fan on ,9800gt lp fan wil get to close to my ram | jxer4567 (16665) | ||
| 1279033 | 2012-06-03 11:41:00 | You have a small form factor pc? Get 6450 in my opinion. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1279034 | 2012-06-03 11:44:00 | I'm going to say 6450 fan then. Having a fanless gpu for gaming is asking for trouble. Kind of seems like a waste of money really. Personally I'd try to grab a 2nd hand 478 socket board of trademe cheep and a old tower case. Then buy a decent gpu. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1279035 | 2012-06-03 11:55:00 | I always get gpus with a fan this sff has sata ddr2 lga775 nd big hdds im savin up for a new rig but i need a cheap gpu for now until i get a new rig | jxer4567 (16665) | ||

| 1279037 | 2012-06-03 13:12:00 | Yeah but fand gpus are the same as fanless, but with a fan. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1279038 | 2012-06-03 13:26:00 | Yeah but fand gpus are the same as fanless, but with a fan. No, fanless cards have much bigger heatsinks. A normal card has a heatsink too small to run without a fan. |

| 1279039 | 2012-06-03 22:46:00 | That's right- my heatsink is 4 cm high, you can get a GT 520 with a fan and it's smaller. It's better for overclocking too, but in your small form factor case that wouldn't be a good idea. GT 520 is better than the 6450. GT 520 Specs: Core clock: 810 MHz Shader Clock: 1620 MHz Effective Memory Clock: 1333 MHz (can vary between cards e.g. a Zotac card is 1400 MHz) HD 6450 Specs: Core Clock: 625 MHz Effective Memory clock: 1333 MHz (can vary between cards also) They are roughly about the same price on trade me. The GT 520 is the better card usually. |
