Advice on GPU's please
Have a rejuvenated Compaq desktop with an ASUS A8M2N-LA board and want to fit a card in for DVI and cannot fit any of the old spares that I have except one which has a noisy fan and would prefer a "silent" one.
I have no experience with these things could anyone let me what to do or why the card shown without the fan one will not fit the PCI slot?

Hum thats given me an idea maybe theres a way of fixing an Arctic 80mm direct to the card and do away with the fan. Or just buy a new silent - it was after all just out of an old recycler - suppose they aren't that expensive eh? and it's only for the DVI. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Prebuilt Desk1 / Toshiba L550 / Desk2 New build
