Looking for a fanless video card to use for a basic HTPC - HDMI required.

Anyone got anything free/cheap/beer ? :)

Would use the onboard video but Win 7 seems to hate it (ATI based - other media PC has same issue).

TIA :)

Hey, have you listed a price, location and how much shipping would be to other parts of New Zealand? Also if you are asking for a PM make sure your Privacy settings allow your account to receive PM otherwise people can't contact you.

What is the onboard?

I have an AMD A8 APU - and it seems to work fine in W7 (and even when I converted to W10). I've done this on a number of machines.

Both the motherboard based drivers and downloaded from AMD directly.

Not answering your query I know.

full height or low profile?

I've got a fanless EN210 512Mb card here with a very chunky heatsink (https://www.asus.com/media/global/products/BFv6m0Y3Ht7BMzUn/531FnGQijkeoA7yT_500.jpg) with only the low profile bracket (giving HDMI and DVI outputs). It was incompatible with the older machine we purchased it for (heatsink was too big).

I do have a full height bracket that will bolt on and expose the DVI, but the HDMI will be only half exposed by a round hole for an SVGA connector so you would have to get a little creative with that.

$20 shipped (but it won't be today)

These are older systems, quite a few years old :)
Im yet to try Win10 with it tho, might fix the issue but for this particular PC prefer a dedicated card.
