ASUS EN7600GT Silent @ HardwareZone
HardwareZone has reviewed the ASUS EN7600GT Silent graphics card, featuring a passive cooling solution with the use of aluminium radiators and heat pipes. While this card operates at a completely silent level, the overclocking performance is rather poor compared to active cooled 7600GT graphics cards. In the conclusion HardwareZone writes:
A mirror of the reference design in terms of its specifications like clock speeds and memory chips used, the performance you’ll find on the ASUS EN7600GT will not be anything special for this chipset. The miserable overclocking is probably also the consequence of its passive cooling though getting a couple of frames more is unlikely to make too much of a difference to the GeForce 7600 GT’s mid-range standing. Besides, you wouldn’t be too concerned about overclocking if the ASUS EN7600GT Silent is your choice. In short, this is a card that provides decent performance for a GeForce 7600 GT with its silent cooler its star attraction.
