Check out the FX 5200 card there, it appears to lack a fan (click 'see-it').

Sorry, but this is not news to anyone here. The FX5200 debut showed numerous vendors cards without fans. Your going to actually find more FX5200 non ultra's without fans....than with.

I was not aware of that, obviously :-D

I though all GFFXs were furnaces.

Phial, if you want to win 'Longest Post' title from eden it goes vertically, not horizontally. :tongue:

I await your equally long vertical post. :lol:

I was not aware of that, obviously

you're unfortunately not the only person who didn't know that. Due to the crap some ATI users have been spreading through the net the last few months, many people think that all GF FXs indeed run hotter than the temperature measured during a nuclear reaction.

In reality, it's only the GFFX 5800 Ultra which uses the dustblaster, the 5800 non-Ultra includes a normal fan as also the 5600 serie. The 5200 even doesn't need a fan at all.

*cough*

excuse me


i dont recall anyone ever saying a 5600ultra had a massive heatsink. all the threads months ago about the leafblower were Obvoiously about the 5800ultra, because it was a hot topic back then


oh yeah and sorry for callin the first dude names.

Well the 5200 rivals the MX440, they are both just really horrible cards. NOt surprising it doesnt need a fan

I've been called worse repeatedly by a certain troll around here. Honestly, I don't mind noob, you aren't born with knowledge, you learn it through experience and effort.
