Slightly too dark .. but you're looking at the actual peltier/tec unit here.

It's impressive to look at, that's a certainty nobody can deny.

Oooh .. ouch ! Booboo .. the SLI connector is blocked by the cooling unit. There's no wat a regular SLI connector can fit on there. Sparkle is solving this by making a new SLI connector which hopefully will be avaible soon.

For the "ooh and aah" factor: live and working in the test system. The 1500 dollar machine alive and kicking it hard. And granted .. the cooler does look nice. Unfortunately .. it's also more than 1 slot ..the middle PCI-Express x8 connector is blocked also.

We review and benchmark the Sparkle GeForce GTX 650 Ti Dragon series and perform an in-depth test with the latest games available.

Sparkle GeForce 9600 GT Passive review
I had a peek around for an exotic model GeForce 9600 GT. I ended up with Sparkle .. get this .. 99 EUR for their passively cooled product with 512MB GDDR3 memory. I'm sorry but that's just a heck of a lot more value than the 9500 GT will offer gaming performance wise. And next to that, as this review will show .. the product has a few surprises ready under it's sleeves.

Sparkle GeForce 8800GT Cool-Pipe3 512MB review
Sparkle recently released a GeForce 8800 GT that actually is passively cooled. Because the reference cooled 8800 GT already runs insanely hot to 90 degrees C, doing the cooling part passive .. would definitely make things even worse. Combine that with the rumored GPU core temperatures of 110 Degrees C I pretty much stereotyped the product even before we had tested it.

Much like other companies out there with a special edition card, the Calibre series is slightly more expensive yet you'll receive some pretty nifty extra candy. In the case of the GeForce 8800 GTS 320 MB they are offering your an overclocked model armed with nothing less than a peltier cooler.
