GeForce 7800 GT power but without all that damn noise! - [hardware] 05:55 AM EST - Mar,10 2006 - post a comment
Want 3D power but without scaring the neighbour's cat?
ASUS
offers up a GeForce 7800 GT 256MB graphics card that's passively cooled.
What's more, folks, ASUS TOP team have overclocked both core and memory speeds.
ASUS isn't content by simply cooling a bone-stock 7800 GT card. Oh, no.
Rather, the ASUS TOP 7800 GT, keeping in with overclocked TOP tradition) is
clocked in at 420MHz core and 1240MHz (effective) memory, up from the stock's
400MHz/1000MHz clocking.
The CPU's heatsink connects up to two heatpipes that are then placed
perpendicular to the card's PCB, together with a bunch of stacked fins. Sure,
you can't use two in SLI mode, due to a lack of space, but it demands attention
if you're looking to build a near-silent, yet powerful, gaming rig.
