    I don't understand these passive cards. You could stick a (or 2) thin 90mm fan on this and have a low RPM and it still be silent, yet cool the card down alot compared to having a massive passive heat sink.

    Thats what I thought, surely they need decent air flow anyway which just moves the noise elsewhere.

    Agree with brewster, another problem is the size of the card, look where it ends and the heatsink carries on the front and top. It ends up as long as a high end card but less than half the power.

    I can see the benefit IF the cooler can fit into a low media case (Antec Fusion for example), but if you need a full size case just to give the cooler enough height (it looks like this card goes about an inch above the top of the card) then I agree with the posts above, just slap some low spinning fans on it.
