This item does not come with cooling fan, just a heatsink. It is low profile ready.ThanksCopystars Support

No fan, Big heat sink that wraps around card. Comes very close to card in the next slot.Sapphire does NOT honor rebates.

There are other cards for about the same price that are higher performance. I got this card because i needed a low power quiet card since I have a smaller case and I wanted to get more performance per watt. I haven't bench marked the card next to its counterparts.

The card I received is passively cooled with a heatsink, so there is no fan.

It is NOT a low-profile card. It ended up that we could not use it. It must go into a Mid-tower PC but beware because some mid-towers (speaking about Dell) have the power supply intruding on the space needed for this full-size card.

The card itself is full height, I saw a two port version listed, that may have low profile ability.

The card in the image is how the card looks. The angled heat-sink is what you may be thinking of (it looks like a pyramid with the top cut off). I have had this card for awhile now and it has been good and quiet. not a power house card but a good low end game card.

I am not sure about that, but I do not recommend this if you want to do ANY kind of gaming, there are way better options out there. Not sure what you mean about low profile but if you mean size, the thing was significantly smaller than my 2600xt and that one fit into a small sized tower. Hope this helps but honestly, I don't recommend this card to anyone for anyreason. Stick with MSI, EVGA, Saphire, Gigabyte or ASUS. A few extra bucks will go a long way. And definitely try to get GDDR5

Its a low profile card, the only power it needs is that fro. The pcie slot. So just plug in and go

It isn't significant running in typical environments. System intense rendering can get that fan humming but it still isn't annoying. I control the fan while running Bootcamp and crank it to max when gaming and only then is it very loud. However I am okay with that cause you need to keep a card cool for gaming.

This card is very quiet. I haven't noticed any noise while working on the system.

Yes, this card is very slim and occupies only 1 slot. Also, no external power is required.

I have had it for about a year or more and I haven't had fan problems at all. The only complaint I have is the amd drivers. Other then that it's a good card

This unit is fan cooled just like most units. Performance is acceptable for a mid-tier graphics card.

It does exhaust to the exterior. It drags air from the inside through the fins and then the flow is directed to the case rear. It's a pretty cool and quiet card, but it's from an old gen, look for a newer one, like the 760 or 770! Best regards

I have one at work in an open-case tower and I've never noticed it make any significant amount of noise whether the card is fully utilized or idle. It's pretty quiet overall.

Not really, only thing I know of is the signature being an open case cooling system doesn't push the hot air out the rear of the machine as well as the super clocked model. So your internal case temp may play a bigger role in your gpu's temp, both of mine run very cool even when pushed hard on a high res display. You cant go wrong either way though. SLI either model of card and your good to go.
