ASUS GT730-SL-2GD5-BRK GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR5 Low Profile
The ASUS GT730-SL-2GD5-BRK is a fanless graphics card for users building silent home theater PCs and multimedia systems. Its 0dB passive cooling dissipates heat entirely without noise, making it suited to living rooms and noise-sensitive environments where conventional fans would be disruptive.
Why this product
Silent passive cooling
No fans, no noise—the card dissipates all heat passively. True 0dB operation is rare in graphics cards and suits rooms where quiet operation matters.
Low-profile form factor
Fits into slimline PC cases and HTPCs where standard-height cards won't fit. Includes I/O brackets for compact enclosures.
Multiple display outputs
Supports three displays simultaneously via DVI-D, D-Sub, and HDMI 1.4a, allowing multi-monitor setups in media rooms without a second card.
Auto-Extreme Technology
ASUS automation processes improve build quality and component reliability during manufacturing.
GPU Tweak II included
Bundled software provides performance tuning, thermal monitoring, and system oversight without needing third-party utilities.

- BusPCI Express 2.0
- CoolingPassive (0dB)
- Form FactorLow profile
- Max Power DrawPassive, no additional power connectors

- SKUASU-2369
- EAN4716659990390
- Works in any desktop PC with a PCI Express 2.0 slot, which includes all modern and legacy systems from the past 15 years.
- Fits into low-profile / slimline cases thanks to its compact 6.5" × 2.72" × 1.54" form factor and 2-slot width.
- Requires no additional power connectors—draws power directly from the PCIe slot. A 300W PSU is sufficient for a full system.
- Supports HDCP content protection only at HDMI 1.4a level; newer 4K streaming services may require HDMI 2.0 or higher.
- Does not support NVLink or Crossfire—cannot be paired with another graphics card for multi-GPU acceleration.
Best for
- Silent living-room and bedroom PCs where fan noise is unacceptable
- HTPC and media server builds in compact, slimline cases
- Multi-monitor setups in offices and creative suites running on modest budgets
- Workstations requiring basic GPU acceleration without heat or noise concerns
Trade-offs
- Gaming: 384 CUDA cores and 2GB memory are insufficient for any modern game at playable frame rates.
- Video encoding or 3D rendering: Low core count and memory bandwidth are poorly matched to compute-heavy workloads.
- High-resolution single-display work: Limited to 3840 × 2160 (4K) output; performance on demanding applications at that resolution would be poor.
- Overclocking: Passive cooling leaves no thermal headroom for frequency adjustments; the card is tuned for silent stock operation only.
GT 730 is the fantastic graphics card from ASUS. Engineered with a highly-efficient 0dB thermal design, it dissipates heat in complete silence — making GT 730 the perfect choice for your slimline home-theater PC (HTPC) build. Exclusive Auto-Extreme Technology for premium quality and best reliability. It also has GPU Tweak II with Xsplit Gamecaster, provides intuitive performance tweaking and lets you stream your gameplay instantly.
