Gigabyte GV-N98TSL-1GI Fanless 9800GT 1GB GDDR3 PCI-E
 | GV-N98TSL-1GI Fanless 9800GT 1GB GDDR3 PCI-E [4 in stock]  (4 customer reviews) - Review | $151.86 |
Introducing the state-of-the-art Silent Cell Cooling Technology! Gigabyte has reshaped the future of silent cooling systems towards their goal of perfecting thermal performance. This new technology adopts a series of crimped layer fins with aluminium nodes. The proprietary cell-division thermal architecture and huge pure copper base with three heatpipes allow the Silent Cell to cool down the GPU by up to 18C more than when using a stock 9800GT cooler. In addition, the Silent-Cell module utilises the precision process to deliver zero-interval combination between heat and fins, enhancing the overall cooling capability without any compromise from its material characteristics.

I was very happy with the quality of service from QuietPC, a delivery query was dealt with efficiently, and to my satisfaction. The product does exactly what is promised, and excellent adapter that is completely silent. Installed on a Vista machine without any issues. Overall a very happy customer.

I purchased two of these cards from QuietPC on 23rd July and they turned up on the 24th, so that was Good Thing #1.
Good Thing #2 was that the enormous heatsinks on these cards coupled with my shiny new Antec 1200 case's fans keeps these two cards (idling, SLIed) at about 30-35*C... I couldn't believe it! The cards were part of an overall upgrade of my rig and they replaced two 7950GT cards that were typically 43-45*C (idling, SLIed; although that might be unfair as my previous case, a NZXT Zero, doesn't have much front-to-back airflow).
I have yet to test these in games as I'm still re-configuring my system but from what I've seen I expect the temps to be excellent. The 10 stars aren't an exaggeration; the only way these could be better is if they were GTX 200 series or some such, but that's just the usual hopelessly-trying-to-find-a-failing critic in me. ;-)
Great product, great service, very satisfied customer. I'll certainly be buying from Quiet PC again.

This is a long card! I only just managed to get it into my case so I'd check the dimensions to be on the safe side. Apart from that it's superb. My case internal temp has gone up a bit but my Nesteq fan controller sorts all that out. My 'quietpc'(!), dual monitors (watching the cricket on one while I work...), extra desktop space make me very happy. Thanks for sourcing a great product.

Great mid-range silent graphics card, performs well. The heat sink fins are a little thin, so you have to be careful handling it not to bend them. Watch out if you give your PC a burn-in period with the case off, the heat pipes get so hot they can burn you if you touch them especially if the airflow is poor.
