The worst thing about the exclusive V-cool heatsink (really the only bad thing) is that to get enough surface area for the passive cooling to be effective the normally single slot 9600GT becomes a dual slot design. I also found that the back edge of the passive heatsink blocked the retention clip for the six-pin power connector the card requires. I had to lift gently on the fins of the heatsink to get the clearance needed for seating the power plug.

While our EN9600GT Silent doesn't perform right up with the 8800 GT without an overclock, it uses a lot less power. The reference-style Palit 8800 GT Super+1GB helped our system suck a total of 263W on average, while our lowly passive card brought that down to 202W. That is a substantial difference.
