Many of you have probably read the press release of the RadeonHD 5750 from Powercolor without the usually required PCI-E power connector. The card runs at the exact same specs as a reference card of the same model, but lacks both the additional power requirements and active cooling. Powercolor has placed a dual slot, passive cooling solution with copper heatpipes and aluminum heatsinks unto the graphic card. The DVI connectors are of black color and Powercolor has also kept the additional DisplayPort and HDMI connectivity we have seen on reference models of the graphic card. Here are some close-up pictures of the card:
press release
TUL Corporation, a leading manufacturer of AMD graphics cards, introduced the Go! Green series of products earlier this year. Now, PowerColor has taken the series to a new level by adding the HD5750 to its lineup.
Being green is as much a corporate responsibility as much as it is up to individuals. That's why PowerColor developed a series of products that consume less power—thereby reducing the greenhouse gas emissions, while providing the gaming performance gamers have come to expect from PowerColor video cards.
This offer of the ultimate gaming performance while consuming less power, is unique to the Go! Green series and now with the addition of the HD5750 series, it aims to deliver the same gaming performance as the reference version but without any extra power consumption even under load. High-level performance and low power consumption can co-exist without compromise
"Less power equals less carbon produced. That is why we developed the Go! Green series in the first place," says Ted Chen, TUL CEO. "The PowerColor Go! Green HD5750 is an industry milestone—not only delivering outstanding performance in a silent gaming environment, but also save energy. We lead the way when it comes to developing new and innovative products and this cements our place at the head of the class."

I think this would be really ok in a htpc pc, low power and the cooler looks really up to keeping it cool.
