What is the very best possible stable fanless graphics card?

Are you looking for just one you can buy, or would you be willing to mod one?  Because that could make a big difference in how powerful you can go while remaining fanless.

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

What is taking heat from the radiators?  If there isn't a fan blowing through them, are they just so big that being passive works?

If the radiators are far enough away, you can put fans on them and not hear them at all.

oh, well of course... but that's not really fanless then :)

A great solution though

GTX 960 with an Acrtic Cooling Accelero S3 (http://www.arctic.ac/ch_en/accelero-s3.html ). The heat sink on the back cools the VRM and VRAM nicely. But it is pretty big, so it may not fit in your case.

 

EDIT: And for non stock coolers look in my signature. 2x GTX 980 passive...

Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil

Holy jeez, that's way more extreme than I ever thought possible. Raises the question of the value of passive... I mean, if that is so well cooled it can work without a fan, I have to imagine that if you added just one like huge 280mm fan at very low rpm so it was still literally silent, you could get even better temps. Sure, its not truly passive any more, but you'd still accomplish the main point of it being silent, and could get much better temperatures.

I could but I don't have to.

Also the finn density is very low, so it will not has as big as an effect as on a "standart" heat sink.

If I add a moveing part in a future build it will be a pump so I can use water or oil to transport the heat. Heat pipes are a pain to work with.
