dontiego Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hi! My first post here, and first hackintosh build. One of my highest priority is sound level, I want the build to be very quiet. Here is what I have so far: Graphics Gigabyte Radeon HD5770SL 1GB Fanless Processor INTEL Core i5 2500K / 3.3 GHz Box Fractal Design Define Mini Mobo GIGABYTE GA-H67MA-UD2H-B3 (micro ATX) PSU Seasonic X-560 560W RAM Corsair XMS3 8 GB 1333mhz DDR3 (2x4GB) I read here that there were troubles with that graphics card, e.g. HDMI. While I don't think I will use HDMI, it'd feel bad to pick up a card there not everything is working. So the question is: What silent (or quiet) graphic card would you recommend for that build, given a budget of 150 - 230 USD? I know I should write what I want to use it for (occasional 3D gaming, movies, a little of picture handling, programming, usual desktop stuff, hobby level music recording and mixing). Comments highly appreciated! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/262631-graphics-card-selection/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
waha Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I can vouch for that fanless Gigabyte card. Using it on my Snow Leopard setup (Also works 100% out of the box on Lion).

dontiego Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks waha. Just to be sure: the card I am referring to is GV-R577SL-1GD. Is it this exact model you have? The reason I am concerned is the experience of aleister Crowley there: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...1768&st=520 This was in January, but a confirmation of HDMI working, in any combination with other connections, would be nice. Have you tested HDMI? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/262631-graphics-card-selection/#findComment-1716549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
