Chaintech Apogee FX71 Review @ HardwareZone

The GeForce FX5600 would actually be a pretty impressive GPU if the memory interface were larger than 128 bits but it makes an excellent mainstream video card. For comparison check out our review of the Gainward Ultra 760XP.
"Chaintech calls their cooling solution the Gas-Turbine Technology, but despite their fancy naming scheme, it appears no different from other graphics card’s implementations. It claims to cool better than other cooling solutions, but our testing reveals otherwise. Don’t get us wrong. The Chaintech Apogee FX71’s cooling solution kept the card within reasonable operating temperatures and there are no heat concerns, but when compared to an equivalent card from another vendor (e.g. MSI), we found the Apogee FX71 a tad warmer"
They love that MSI over there at HardwareZone, almost too much.
