Bla bla bla, the interesting part is the new cooling system at 7 db!!

Specs: http://www.tweak.dk/uploads/gainward1.jpg and http://www.tweak.dk/uploads/gainward2.jpg

7db sounds to good to be true, when the "normal" cooling system is at 70db.....but if this can be done, and someone is willing to pay 649€ and not use ANISO or FFSA where radeon 9700 pro is faster, Gainward has created a seller....

This cooling system on r350 cards please

That must be a typo! I hope it isn't, but it has to be, right?!

They might be something like this...

I doubt it. I bet it won't overclock much.

It's not a typo, 7dBa is something like 1/25 the noise level of a library room, the heartbeat comparison shows they actually meant 7 dB. That's below the noise floor in any environment.

But how did they do... if it was strictly passive - big heatsink - it would've been noiseless.

Just came accross this .
Thy suggasting it's a watercooler system.
