I'm looking for some advise on what you think is the quietest GTX 750 Ti. The GPU is to be fited into a Silverstone ft03 mini that lives under the TV in the main lounge. It will be used as a HTPC and occasionally a gaming machine - hence it needs to be quiet for watching videos, but I want a bit more power when needed. The Maxwell chips therefore seem a good choice as they only pull a 60 W TDP, but I'm not certain which retailer's cooler is best for my needs:

Priority:
1) Quietest when idle
2) Quietest under load
3) Lowest power consumption use (stopping the PSU's fan from over working)
4) Best frame rate at 1080p

I'd also consider the non-Ti version if much quieter, but I don't think that is the case. Also I'd conisder any other card if they don't produce more sound when idle (money is not main issue here).

So what do you think?

Thanks that's a really nice solution from Asus - turn off the fans when they aren't required. I'm surprised more retailers don't do this with their coolers....

The only issue I can think of is the FT03-mini might prefer a more enclosed blower design, but I don't think this will really be an issue for the GTX 750 Ti.

Now I just need a UK release date!
