I think it's fair to say that Gigabyte is a company that usually offers rather pedestrian cooling solutions on the video cards in its line-up. Gigabyte is not known for breaking the reference design mold too much, which is not necessarily a bad thing, especially if you consider the high-quality products with good bundles that are usually offered by Gigabyte.

The company's GeForce 6800 offering - the GV-N68128DH - is quite a change-up for them. The card features a completely fanless cooling solution that consists of a rather large heatsink and a heatpipe design. What? A high-end video card with no fan? Yeah, that's right. Keep in mind, though, that the chip on this board is a standard GeForce 6800, which means it's the least powerful of NVIDIA's current high-end graphics accelerator solutions.
