Great upgrade for a Dell OptiPlex 755 mini-tower computer. Passive cooling solution (no fan) is a plus as no cooling fan to burn out. Runs cool, nice upgrade. I don't use this system for gaming.

This card is exactly what I wanted, small with low power requirements. I used it in a home theater computer and it played every HD movie I tested smoothly and cleanly. The problem is there is something funny with it's temperatures. At first it was fine, running 42 to 53 degrees but then on the 3rd day I turned it off to install a network card and burned myself on the video card's heat sink. When I had the computer back up and running I checked the video card's temperature and it was idling at 103 degrees, Celsius. I let it run for a few more minutes while I installed Evga's precision software to verify that temp and it agreed with hwmonitor. I shut it down. A couple hours later I brought it up again, this time it was idling at 63 degrees and didn't vary much from that temp for the next several hours. The next day it was up in the eighties and then again nineties. Today it stayed around 71.

I really don't have a good idea what is wrong with it and I'm not going to spend anymore time worrying about it for a brand new card. It's going back.

I'm not a gamer I just got this because I have dual monitors and my new PC didn't support them. I've been running it for a week now and EVGA's monitoring software has never shown a temp over 49c. It averages around 44c.

Geforce 210 is not made for game enthusiasts. It's made for basic computers, home or business. It's a low-end card which does its job and doesn't consume much power. It's perfet for that. However, for having a passive cooler (no fan attached), it requires the computer case to be coolish -proper ventilation. Otherwise it'll heat up too much and may end up dying. Just make sure you use at least 2 fans in your case, one at the front pulling the air to inside and one at the back working as an exhaust fan (proper ventilation will not help you graphics card only, it'll help all your hardwares).
