High End Silent Cooling For Graphics Cards

Posted by michael on from the look-ma-no-fans dept.

SpinnerBait writes "With all the competition these days in the 3D Accelerator market, Graphics Card OEMs are doing anything they can to differentiate their products in a sea of competitive solutions. Recently board designs are getting even more exotic, with brightly colored PCBs, high end heat sink and fan combinations and even flashing lights for the case modders out there. However, a relatively new trend is Quiet Computing. HotHardware has an article up that showcases two new Radeon 9600 Pro and 9800 Pro cards from Sapphire Tech, that have rather impressive fanless coolers on them that are virtually silent. Great stuff for those of you gaming in the library."

    You mean, not only are there people in the library, but they are gaming in there too? Surely this calls for a penalty of death.

    This is my job. I am a PR rep for the GNAA. If you haven't seen me get FP, then you are obviously blind or stupid (or both).

    I would pay to see this: some guy playing a fps on a machine in the library, using headphones for sound ... he gets fragged, and foretting where he is (and without warning to anyone around him), bellows "FUCK!!!!!!!!" at the top of his lungs.
