Recently we reviewed the Asus
EN8600GT OC GEAR graphics card and came away with slightly mixed feelings
about the cooling solution used. The fan employed was unnecessarily loud in
our opinion, as we found that lowering the fan speed did not compromise the
GPU temperature when stressed. Today we look at the Asus EN8600GT Silent, effectively
the same card only this time, passively-cooled. In fact, Asus claims it runs
"7°C cooler than generic boards" — a bold statement.

Asus proudly displays its thermal claim on the front of the box.

The box contents: Graphics card, drivers, software, manual, DVI adapter,
component out cable, and CD wallet. There's a lot of wasted space and
excess packaging material here.
