A couple of days ago MSI
released a new GeForce 9600 GT graphics card with a Hybrid Freezer cooler:
Painted in blasphemous red, the new G94 card features 64 Stream Processors, DirectX 10.0 support, a 256-bit memory interface and PCI-Express 2.0 readiness.
Featuring 512MB of GDDR3 memory and likely stock clocks, the new card has a cooling system that takes up two slots, is equipped with four 6mm thick copper heatpipes and has a fan that can be dead silent. The idea behind the cooler is to be both efficient and quiet so the fan will only work while the GPU's temperature is above 40 degrees Celsius, thus ensuring total silence while not gaming. Thile running the fan is slated to have a top noise output of 28dBA
