Silent/fanless GPU
I'm building a desktop rig for my mom, aiming to make it as silent as possible.
I'll be giving her my Noctua NH-D14 and will be using it with an i7 2600 (not K), in completely passive/fanless mode.
Now I just need to sort out the GPU. Wondering if it's a good idea to go with something like a 5450 w/ passive cooling, or going for something higher end with an aftermarket passive heatsink. Problem is, I don't know squat about passive GPU heatsinks, let alone where to get them.
So I'm just curious if a 5450 will hold up to full 1080p video's? Any other suggestions on a solution that's more powerful yet also passively cooled?
She is not a gamer of any sort, but she is definitely a multimedia freak. Proficient with the Adobe suite, she often uses Premiere to put together family video's. I don't want any sort of frame lag.
Thanks in advance. =]
