Asus EAX1600XT Silent

Sudhian has posted a review of the passively cooled Asus EAX1600XT Silent (please, no silent but deadly jokes). Need something with a little gaming umph, won’t break the bank or your ear drums? This might be the card you are yearning for.

Asus has opted for a dual heat-pipe design to passively cool the graphics card. The GPU side of the card is pretty bare with a simple block with two heat-pipes that come out of it. From there the two heat-pipes curve around back to a bunch of fins that help dissipate heat. The fins are formed similar to a car radiator and are roughly half the size of the card.
