ASUS Extreme N6600GT Silencer Video Card Review @ Legit Reviews

Several years ago, having a loud system seemed to be the in thing for an enthusiast, the louder the better. I remember picking up a Swiftech heat sink and an insane 80mm Delta "screamer" EHE model fan. This beast moved 80cfm of air and burned your ear drums at 52 decibels. This was all to overclock my AMD Thunderbird AYHJA 1.33GHz to a then screaming 1.6GHz. A few years down the line and Nvidia introduces the “dust buster,” better known as the FX 5800 Ultra. This card produced sound levels of 60 decibels while running in 3d mode. This card offered average performance at the cost of having to put up with nearly unbearable noise. The thought of making a silent video card was by no means being mentioned at ATI or nVidia.
