Introduction
Have you been looking for a card that is silent yet is able to play all of the latest games without looking like mud? Well look no further, today we have the Gigabyte 9800 GT Silent Cell. Powered by the Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT GPU, this card has enough power to play just about every game maxed. So you may ask, how does this thing cool itself yet still be silent? Well, unlike normal 9800 GT's, this card has no fan. This may seem like quite a surprize, I know I didnt beleive it when I heard about it!
Gigabyte could not just get away with useing the stock cooler for the 9800 GT, it is just too small to passivly cool such a hot card, so they took matters into their own hands, and have designed a custom heat sink just for this version of the card. I was pretty surprized at the size, you can see for yourself below. Not only has Gigabyte made this card completly passive, they have included a massive 1 GB of GDDR3, so you can be sure your card has enough RAM to plow through any high textured games.

With a nice look at the sheer size of the card, lets get a closer look at the individual specifications of the card.
