Hi my currently setup is:
Lian Li PC-Q08 chassis.
CPU: Intel i3-2100 sandy bridge.
Motherboard: Asus Revision B3.
OS: WHS 2011.
I currently have it running WHS 2011 + XBMC which is working good except that Intels IGP is not ideal to use. 24p, bad deinterlacing etc.
I have found GT430 low profile, which looks promising, but I have some questions before buying:
1. Which GT430 low profile model should I choose? My priorities is low power consumption and low noise.
I have read that GV-N430OC-1G only uses 2,7W in idle. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/graphic...html#sect0 Is that really true or is it to good to be true, because the Server/HTPC needs to be on 24/7 so power consumption is very important to me..
2. Will the GT430 fit in my Lian Li Chassis?
3. Can anyone with a GT430 measure/confirm the low power consumption?
Hope someone can help..
