A Fanless Parhelia

[DC2]

Has anyone heard if there is any prospect of one? Thanks.

P650 or put a waterblock on an original.

Thanks. I have a Parhelia 128mb with its fan removed and a Zalman heatsink in its place. This is cooled by an undervoloted Zalman 92mm fan on a bracket. If I could run the heatsunk Parhelia without any cooling I would - but I am not confident the card will survive. I would like the performance of the Parhelia without any fan noise (to reduce system noise further). So, ideally, I would like a Parhelia without a fan. Since the P650 has half the video memory of the Parhelia 128, I assume it is less powerful. But this may not matter as I am using my set up for Photoshop 2D graphics work and not gaming. If I would notice no performance drop I'd go for a P650 just to get rid of a fan. Any ideas on whether I'd notice a performance reduction? Thanks.

For 2D apps, there won't be any performance reduction. The P650 only has DualHead, however there is an upgrade to allow TripleHead on it.

Thanks. I don't need triple head. Might just go for a P650.
