SAPPHIRE HD 7750 ULTIMATE Review

Do you think this card would have any issues in a case with very little airflow? A lot of HTPC cases aren't exactly paradigms of cooling. :lol:

 

Yes, if you don't have any air flowing through the fins, to dissipate heat, on that cooler it's just going to get hotter and hotter LOL! As long as you can position a case fan near the card you should be fine though. :)

I guess that's an issue with any passive cooler.

 

Yep, some are better than others though. Sapphire has been pretty good with the ULTIMATE card's coolers. I tested, I believe, the 5XXX series version a while back and that cooler performed equally well.

Looks like passive cards are becoming more and more powerful with die shrinks :)

Soon we might even have a HD7970 performance equivalent passive card ...
