Anyone know if there are plans for a passively cooled 6600GT? I know gigabyte has a passive 6800 (vanilla) and a 6600 PCI-express version passively cooled, but what about the 6600 AGP version - anyone heard anything?

According to the most recent SPCR list, there aren't any.
AFAIK 6600GTs run massively hot, so it's unlikely there'll be many passive versions released...
AFAIK.
Ah well, I'll keep my finger's crossed. There's a passively cooled 6800 on the market so I would think a 6600 would be easier to cool passively that that! Especially since it is on a .11 process compared to the .13 process of the 6800
Sorry this is a really lame question: what does AFAIK mean?Quote:

Surely if they can cool a 6800 a 6600Gt can be cooled a lot easier because it is less powerful.
AFAIK = As far as I know :)
aahhh makes sense, thanksQuote:

if you did buy something - what did you get, and what are your views/findings?
thanks
Yep there is a passively cooled 6600gt. Me has seen it here
AGP http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=178511
PCI-e http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=164948
I know someone from another forum who wants one for a media pc, so if anyone know of a cheaper place please let me know.
