I'm building a PC for a friend and he gave me a really tight budget
The case has only one fan, that is, the CPU fan. Is it a good idea to go with passive cooled cards? can it result in any performance loss?
My card is a zotac zone edition GT 710 2GB(I know,it's bad, but no more money)
My other option would be a fan cooled Gigabyte version but it's slightly more expensive and has a PCI-E 8x interface instead of a 16x
Which will be better in terms of overall performance if the PC can be potentially used for upto 3-5 hours per day?
He'll be outputting to low resolutions in games like CSGO and some newer titles
Thanks
