Passive HD6850 released

Those heatsinks wrap around the top, you could probably with a pair in crossfire stick a couple of 120mm fans on top of the cards and be fine.
 
Nice looking card, would have loved it if it were an 6870, its a shame so many companies use the reference designs.

Its always gonna be far easier and cheaper to just buy a better 3rd party cooler, they need to create one and one that can add an 140mm cooler....

Wait a minute what happen to that GPU liquid cooler !?
 
Damn I want that. Keep wanting to get my pc quieter, it's alright on the desktop but my 4850 is too noisy even with its aftermarket cooler when playing games. Actually its the cooler which is also stopping me from reducing my idle noise more.

Think a single nexus 120mm fan @500rpm be enough airflow for a passive card?
