These low profile OEM card have tiny fans which have to spin at relatively higher rpm to cool the card, even though the card TDP is only 50W.  Higher rpm entails louder fan.  Gpu temp looks good. when you are about to order gt1030 (TDP 30W), if fan noise is a big concern, you might consider those 1030 design with passive heatsink without fan.  to help its cooling your case needs to have good air flow.  SFF case tends to have poor air flow compared to DT or MT. This may all be over worrying considering it is a low power card.
Hello, I've got a Dell 9020 SFF pc with i7 4790, 16GB RAM, 512 SSD. And integrated graphics Intel HD4600. I want to upgrade this to play GTA V. I've searched the net and read a lot about it but im confused. On the Dell official site the most powerful dedicated card to 9020 SFF is Radeon 8570, but will it improve performance? I have read also about Radeon R7 250 that should be ok: Karta Radeon R7 250 2GB DDR3 128bit LowProfile - Części komputerowe, Karty graficzne - Allegro.pl I know that there is a lot of fastest cards like GT 1030 or GTX 1050 but what about stock psu and cooling in such a small pc? Will it handle this? And will they work properly plugged into this short slot? Sorry for my english Regards
