Will FX5200 run UT ...

If there is sucha thing, where can I find it? I thought SEs are the only ones that have that.

pauldh · Jul 13, 2004

People have been suggesting the 9600 non pro (not SE). Much faster than the SE's and yes, no fan.

And yes the plain jane R9600non-pro-non-se will easily outperform the passive FX5200s and FX5600s. Pluss all three of those have better 2D quality than the GF4 series (Ti or MX).

I got it on newegg. I run my pc with no fans now. The only noise and fans come from the PSU, HSF, and hard drives.

I'm about to start a new quiet build for daily non gaming use. I have a NF7-S, Mobile XP2500+ to run 1.45v stock speeds, Antec SLK 3700 case. I am thinking about a R9600 non pro, a silent cpu heatsink, and possibly putting on a passive northbridge cooler on the NF7-S. Should be quiet if the only fans are the Antec smart power 350w and the 120mm rear case fan.

It will be replacing a KR7A-133R (KT266a)/Palomino 2100+ that runs quite hot and needs a bit bit too many rpm on the volcano 9 in the summers. The volcano 9 is quiet at 3000 RPM in the Winter months, but I need about 3400-3500 rpm lately.

Get a quiet PSU. I think it'll be worth it. I bought one of the fortron 300W ones for my family and it had a huge 120mm fan and I think it's a lot quieter than my Antec 400W.

I personally think my system is still too noisy. My next build will be dead silent if possible. The problem is that I want a top end videocard.

Then this should be your next case.

100% fanless computer! At $1,200, it's a bit expensive though. 😱

Hey stranger, it's been a while.

Too bad it was active. The only reason I'd buy the 9600 is that it is passive. Otherwise I'd fork over a few more bucks for a pro.

But I won't be gaming at all on this system. I just want something very quiet since the computer runs all the time in my family room. But I can't get myself to buy an SE so NP it is.

I had also thought of rigging up my own passive cooler on a R8500 64MB. Still an option I guess.

Most 8500 are better than current 9200! I had one for my old K6-2+ 500 and works perfect at 250/275.

Still looking for a good online retailer in Spain :frown:

baldurga · Jul 13, 2004

As already posted: best passive GPU 9600np.

BUT best ratio 9550 (ALWAYS 128 bit). Goes for $75 at newegg and can be easily overclocked to 9600 levels.

I don't mean to be evil, but why in the world would you think that a card with fans would be passive?

PoS: Newegg is not reachable lots of times lately, any body knows what's going on?

They're reachable but slow. I've noticed myself.

You switch to XP yet?

TheGreatGrapeApe · Jul 14, 2004

Those are the Ultimate Editions I was speaking off, and they aren't cheap, but $174 isn't bad really considering it's only a fraction more than one with an HSF.

Of course Nirvanah would be the R9800XT UE or the 'announced' not even pre-orderable GF6800 from Galaxy I posted a while back. Sure the GF6800 kinda sux, but Passive!
