I'm not set on the 1650. But I am set on quiet. Are there any other options in the PCS list that would guarantee the zero rpm mode.

Oh dear. Well that really is a problem for me. Not knowing whether the GPU will have a zero rpm mode leaves me flying blind.

Thanks for all that. The particular MSI I bought was. MSI GeForce GTX 1650 4GT LP OC Graphics Card '4GB GDDR5, 1695MHz, Low Profile design, HDMI, DVI-D, HTPC, Dual Fan Cooling System I'm learning as I go here. The card in the SPEC above -"4GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1650 - HDMI". It's quite hard...

After some research.... The MSI GeForce GTX 1650 cannot be set to run the fan at less than 30%. As I said at the top, I do listen to very quiet minimalist music, so the hum of the fan just doesn't work for me. I'm told I need a a GPU with a zero-RPM mode, so the fan only kicks in when the GPU...

The PC is a Jack of All Trades, as I said, but I do need it to perform when required. I do use the Twixtor plugin for Premiere Pro from time to time, and who knows what I might use in the next five years. The reality is that at present the video encoding is very time consuming. And even...

I thought Intel had fallen behind AMD at this point. This is very much a 'Jack of All Trades' PC. The music use is frequent. The video encoding infrequent. The music is low tech, so mostly Audacity. It's the need for a quiet machine that's important. I do use Bluetooth a lot for the TV...

Rather than make a stab at an initial spec, I thought it better to just ask. My current PC is six year's old and I'm badly out of touch with things. My budget is around €3,000. I will be using this monitor: ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV My needs........ AMD based Desktop PC. Don't think I...
