underclock hd 4830

[robzane]

I would like to underclock hd 4830 to reduce power dissipation and stop fan

I ask if it is right to cut 1/3 gpu and memory frequences

(sorry for my english, please correct)

Depends on what you normally use it for.

List some games you play and the rest of your setup to see if underclocking it will affect it in a bad way.

Look for a program called RivaTuner and use that to under/overclock. When using rivatuner make sure you tread carefully as you can mess things up.

You could also tell us what your idling (at normal when not playing games) temperatures are and your load (when playing games and stuffs) temperatures are, this way we could use RivaTuner to lower the fan speed and not be required to underclock it.

If you want a silent card dude buy one, that fan will always spin otherwise.

Cutting 1/3 frequencies should cut 1/2 power dissipation

I have read that 4830 uses 30w idle 80w full load

I ask if 15w idle 40w full load is right for passive cooler

Where can I buy a 4830 passive?
