What passively cooled graphics card are you using?

Christo · 27 Feb 2007 at 11:44

I have now tried (and bought) 2 different passively cooled GPU's, both of which cant fit my system! The first was an ASUS 6600 which the heatpipe was on the back, then a ASUS 7600 arrived today with passive cooling on the normal side (so I thought would be ok) but it also has a heatsink on the back. This is killing me and getting very expensive!

So can you guys with Sugos and passively cooled GPU's let me know which ones you are using that fit? Or if you dont have a Sugo a passive GPU that doesnt have heatsinks on the back.

Cheers guys

Have you thought about making a custom cooler for your setup?
i have just written about the one i made for my 6800 from a socket A Heatsink.

ill add some pics later so you can see what its like

making your own is the way to go if stock passive units don't work

one i made for a 9600xt, very overkill considering the heat it puts out. will use it on my x800xt in a few years

I have a Leadtek PX7600GS (around 6 months to a year old) which has passive cooling just on the correct size which fits into a shuttle no problem at all without blocking the second slot also (obviously different to a sugo but should still be ok)

Was about £70 when I got it and its a great card ( currently using it for HD-DVD duties alongside PowerDVD Ultra)
