A Fanless Graphics Card from ASUS

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the but-i-need-fans-to-feel-complete dept.

mikemuch writes "ASUS has come out with the Extreme N6600GT Silencer/HTD, a GeForce 6600GT without any cooling fan. It's sort of odd looking, with heat sinks that fold on a hinge. Great for home theater since it's silent. Loyd Case of ExtremeTech has put it through a rigorous bunch of benchmarks."

    A Fanless Graphics Card

    Did anybody else read this as a graphics card that nobody likes?

    I've had a fanless graphics card since 1983. Still got it. Hercules MDA.
    Pah!

    Wow, between this and the silent power supply yesterday, the only thing that's left is a silent sound card!

      I got several of them. Would you want to swap one of them for one that produces sound?
