Low level of noise is something that is getting more and more important for each day with today’s components, something that usually don’t rime with the current development with higher power consumptions and heat dissipation. There are still those who do their best to surpass these obstacles and one manufacturer that seems to have spent a lot of time and energy to develop passive coolers is ASUS. We’ve seen it with its graphic cards, but also with its mainboards. ASUS has now announced its plans for a passive Radeon X1600 XT called EAX1600XT SILENT/TVD/256M. The cooler used for this card will according to ASUS use the flow from the processor cooler to handle the heat dissipation from the X1600-circuit.
As long as you don’t use water cooling or passive cooling for the processor EAX1600XT SILENT/TVD/256M seems to be a very good option, especially for those looking for a silent graphic card of course.
