" Gigabyte hopes to liven up the staid low-end segment by offering its new Radeon X1300 PRO card with its proprietary Silent-Pipe II cooler. Originally seen in mid-range cards like the GeForce 6600 GT and the Radeon X1600 XT, this passive cooler is into its second iteration and boasts a design that is quite distinct from the other passive coolers we have seen. Although the principle of having heat pipes and radiators for passive cooling are common, it is the design principle in which it was employed that's unique to Gigabyte. ASUS has a passively cooled Radeon X1300 PRO in the market already so this new Gigabyte card should fuel more competition."
