[mythtv-users] OT: unplugging the fan of the grafic card

[Yann Lehmann]

I am planning to build a MythTV system, and would like to install a
NVidia grafic card for software decoding of the recorded shows.

The newer cards almost always have active coolers (with fan). Does
software decoding use the "heat producing" features of the gpu, and if
not, can I just unplug the fan to get a silent system ?

Thank's
Yann
