Okay, so, in my older crappier computer I was using a low-profile X1300 Pro, but it died so I replaced it with a HD2400, and so far it seems to be doing a good job. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it could be overclocked, though, which is why I'm making this thread.

Is there any low-profile aftermarket cooler available for this card? I want to get everything I can out of it, even if my CPU may end up capping my Dell system (why I ever bought Dell, I'll never know). The aftermarket cooler should be able to fit in an XPS210 case, though I'm not worried about the heatsink being really wide. I'm happy to leave the side of the case off.

Found those on the egg, now, no idea if they will work though, they will if the mounting stuff is all the same, etc etc.

But for that price, might as well grab a new video card that is better than the 2400XT.

EDIT: Doubtful they are compatible with the 2400XT

I could get a new video card better than a 2400 XT, but it won't WORK. My dell's power supply is only 275 watts, and there are NO modular connections that would fit any card that needs power directly from the power supply unit, so I need to choose a PCI-powered card.

As for the accelero S2, I don't have enough headroom, unfortunately. It needs to be a low-profile cooler (i.e. takes up only the PCI slot the card is fitted on, with maybe a millimeter or two higher)

The Radeon HD4650 will work with your PSU

Dell doesn't have the best PSU's, but they can deliver their rated wattage and definitely aren't generic crap

Damn, I feel dumb for getting a 2400 XT now... ah well, I could always give it to my brother if he wanted it.

Edit;
Would there be much point in getting a 4650? My dell's CPU only runs at a little over 2.1Ghz.

Edit again;
Also, since the 4650 is a PCI-e 2.0 card, will it work at all in a 1.0 slot?

Off topic: I hope that you have your case on its side, I'd be scared that the TRUE Copper would rip my motherboard in half.

No good, the card's too wide and a slot too tall. The XPS210 case is extremely small, all the PCI slots are about half as large as they would be in any normal case. I found a good possibility from Sapphire (I seem to be getting a lot of Sapphire cards..), but I have a few concerns (see my previous post).

This is the one I'm looking into, only I'm tryint to see if I can find a 4650 version with a reference cooler;

Also, no, I don't have my case on its side. I've jury-rigged a suspension system so the case is taking the weight of the TRUE Copper rather than the motherboard. Not the most elegant solution but I've been running my system vertically for at least a month now with no problems.

Also, + rep for the EPIC 8800 GT OC.

Edit;
Found one. Now I just need to find somewhere that delivers to the UK.

Any help with finding somewhere that ships these to the UK would be really appreciated!

Edit 2;
Okay, after spending some three or more hours scouring google, I finally found somewhere in the UK that sold the right card! Thank you very much for the recommendation of the 4650, I'm hoping it works well.
