I need a new Video card - PCIe 2.0 x16 full height okay - fanless desired

You definitely want a card with GDDR5.
 
If a 750Ti at £110 is on the table, I'd consider stretching to £160 for a 960 if it has full 10-bit H.265 hardware-accelerated decoding on-board.
I was disappointed to find that my 970 wouldn't even properly decode 4K H.264 videos.
 
It really depends on what level of hardware acceleration you want, and the quality of scaling you want to use.
I have a DDR3-equipped GT610 here as a backup card (the cheapest card I could get locally which had an HDMI output) and even it will work with madVR just fine as long as you use very reduced settings.

Low Profile for me only, unfortunately.

750Ti for under £100: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-058-KF&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1854

I went for a GDDR5 GT 730 OC from MSI at £50 as a stop gap until HTPC-designed HDMI 2.0 cards come out.  It can run Lanzos and Jinc without having any 'trade performance for quality' options selected so I'm happy as it's better than my 6450!

One thing with it though, the fan is a bit noisy. It seems to hover around 38% on auto mode.  If I use MSI Afterburner to set it to manual and 30% (which is the minimum it will let me), it's fine.  But if I reboot, it's back to auto mode.  Watching Toy Story 3 on DVD now and I can hear the fan over the sound.

How do I make this change permanent?

Thanks
