Has anyone seen benchies on the Sparkle 8800 GT Passively Cooled Card?

I keep reading about this new Sparkle Cool Pipe passively cooled 8800 GT, but I can't find any benchies on how hot it runs. Seems to me it would be very hot, but I don't know and that's why I'm asking.

Anyone have an inside scoop on this?

Haven't seen any of the sparkle benchies myself but I'm curious to find out because that particular brand is readily available here in Thailand and usually at a fairly cheap price.

Mrs,

Yeah, ur probably right and honestly, I probably prefer a domestic USA vendor. I looked into Sparkle's MAC TEC Peltier Cooling system, but from what I could tell, it didn't get any cooler than a really good fan would.
