HIS Cards
HIS Radeon 9600XT
We haven't seen many from HIS at AnandTech's labs yet, but we were very impressed with this little number. For some reason, we were able to read its temperature, even though none of the other 9600XT cards that we tested gave us the option in the driver. I suspect that the other 9600 cards run about as cool. Since this is the only one that would tell me, it takes the cake for the coolest card on our list (and it's definitely not the slowest).
We have seen some other offerings from HIS in our labs as well - these guys should be ones to keep watching.

Were are the comparison charts between the overclocked and stock speed 9800pro's? I must be blind, because I can't see them.par - Wednesday, February 4, 2004 - link

The Seagate HD: Barracuda 7200.7 PATA ... I'll add that to the tablemostlyprudent - Wednesday, February 4, 2004 - link
Nice article. A passively cooled 9600XT?!...I've found my next video card. There is one thing that I am unclear about - the Seagate hard drive used in the test setup - is it an SATA drive?
