Silent 512MB GeForce 8400 GS

The ASUS EN8400GS SILENT/DI/512MD2(LP) is a fanless graphics card built around the NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS GPU. It connects through a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot and carries 512MB of DDR2 memory on a 64-bit bus. Core clock runs at 589MHz with a shader clock of 1402MHz and an effective memory clock of 667MHz. The cooler uses no fan, so the card adds no acoustic noise to the system.

For basic display and legacy systems

This card suits older workstations or home-theatre PCs that need HDMI, DVI and D-SUB outputs for up to 2560 x 1600 resolution and DirectX 10 support. It does not support SLI and the 64-bit memory interface limits 3D performance, so gamers or users needing modern API features should consider a different product. The low-profile bracket helps it fit in slim cases where a full-height card would not install.

Build integration with fanless design

A free PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot and a low-profile bracket are the only mechanical requirements. Because the cooler is fanless, the card draws no extra power connectors and leaves case airflow unaffected, freeing up space for other components. The 400MHz RAMDAC and three video outputs make multi-monitor desktop setups straightforward without adding moving parts.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot for this card?

Yes, the card plugs into a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot on the motherboard.

Can I run this GeForce 8400 GS alongside an older PCI graphics card in the same system?

It can coexist with a legacy PCI card, but the two GPUs will not share rendering tasks and each requires its own monitor connection.

How can I confirm the 512MB DDR2 memory is recognised after installation?

Open the NVIDIA control panel or GPU-Z and verify the memory size reads 512MB with a 64-bit bus width.
