Hello,
I recently purchased a radeon hd 5450 gpu to upgrade an older small form factor computer (hp dc7600 sff) to be a media pc used for hd Netflix. After watching a 30 minute tv episode at 1080p hd on Netflix, gpu-z reports the cards temp at 77 degrees celcius. Is this normal for a passively cooled card like the 5450 or should I consider an active cooler. Also when installing a case fan do I make the fan blow into the case or pull air out?
