Silent Pipe III Cooling By Gigabyte
The Silent Pipe III cooler is a behemoth.
Many people do not like passive cooling solutions because they consume a lot of space. Gigabyte has redesigned its Silent Pipe III technology, so it fits into a single PCI Express slot. There still is a heat pipe, but what Gigabyte basically did is utilizing all the available space for the cooling fins. The product we photographed is based on an Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT (GA-NX86-Y256A).
Gigabyte has also adapted its Silent Pipe 2 technology to fit ATI HD Radeon series cards. The large black cooler fits the HD 2600 series graphics cards and a smaller adaptation fits the HD 2400 series cards.
