TUL Corporation, a leading manufacturer of AMD graphics cards, today introduces a passive cooling solution into the HD5700 family: SCS3 HD5750. The PowerColor SCS3 HD5750 features an effective passive cooling solution dissipating excessive heat with minimal noise. The copper base, which fully covers, the GPU through 4 copper heat pipes and 32 piece heat sink offers outstanding cooling performance in a quite setting.

While running passively, the PowerColor SCS3 HD5750 maintains the original specifications with core engine of 700MHz, 1150 MHz memory speed. This model takes advantage of the latest 40nm technology, providing better performance while using less power and offering an excellent balance between a superior gaming experience and power efficiency.



“To meet the demands of every kind of customers, we always try hard to create some impressive product series to achieve the goal,” says Ted Chen, CEO of TUL Corporation. “With the PowerColor SCS3 HD5750, we’re offering a perfect balance of performance, price and superior noise suppression.”

PowerColor SCS3 HD5750 supports the latest Microsoft DirectX 11 technology, providing intense gaming performance and unrivalled image quality with stunning 3D visual effects. With support for ATI Eyefinity technology, maximizing your field of view up to three displays, and compatibility with ATI stream technology, it can offload data parallel compute tasks from the CPU to GPU, accelerates the daily application and provides the best productivity.

The PowerColor SCS3 HD5750 will be available on Nov. 20th and will retail at US$149.

Ooo er!

This looks like the business for a quiet HTPC. But then again, having it crammed in a small case with poor ventilation & airflow may just be too much for the heat-sink to handle.

me likes that heatsink design

[LittleLizard]

perfect for an htpc user that also want some gaming power and quietness

but can it effectively dissipate all the heat? I dunno and it doesn't look like the VRM or Memory ICs are cooled at all, from that pic anywho.

At something like 85W full load and memory running under it's spec - while the same chips on other boards are running faster without cooling - there's no real need. It's great to see passibe, but I want a single slot cooler! Crossfire on a micro ATX only works at the moment if you don't have other cards, but I like my soundcard.

Agreed.

HTPC should be ok. Gaming would probably kill the card.
