Among the contenders: A silent, passively cooled SLI-solution.
Asus GeForce 7800 GT Extreme
The GeForce 7800 GT uses a single-slot cooling solution, and the fan is backlit by blue LEDs. The cooler consists of the fan itself, an integrated heatpipe and cooling fins; two of the four memory modules are cooled by the fan's airflow. The two modules above the GPU are connected to the main heatsink by a heatpipe. The PCB is reinforced by a thin sheet of steel that runs the length of the card.
