Hi All,
I've bought lately a passive 5670 from Sapphire and the heatsink was too high for the case.
I'd like to get an equal/higher performance non-passive GPU which should be quiet as possible if not loaded (<20dBA) and of course it should fit the case height.
Any ideas?

(It's a i5-2400S CPU, uATX Mob from Asus)

Sapphire 6850 runs at ~1000RPM at idle. Cannot hear it at all, even during quiet evenings. My case is well damped and build for near-silent operation though, so keep in mind that your system is as quiet as its weakest link.
