Top Rank Award AWARD"....not only looks good, but was surprisingly efficient and kept this 9600XT core under 45 degree Celsius even while overclocking. ��Even with my ear two inches away, the fan could not be detected over the system processor heatsink fan. From the minute I opened the box, this card has been nothing but a pleasant surprise with features and aesthetics usually reserved for cards with a much higher price tag"
