From the Manufacturer

The "Hi-Fi" Concept
Starting from the new Radeon HD 2600 Series, HIS has applied the "Hi-Fi" concept design on its new models. Features include: high-quality gold-plated ports, black panel plate with sync, and the "High-definition" concept of the new Radeon HD Series.

VNF102 high-performance noiseless cooler
HIS Radeon HD 2600 PRO ZALMAN is cooled by the well-known Korean cooling expertise’s product--ZALMAN VNF102. With Zalman’s patented VFP (Variable Fin Profile) Fin Design, it maximizes cooling efficiency and dissipation surface area for excellent performance. As VNF102 is fanless, it does not emit any noise and can be used semi-permanently. Coming with 2 high performance heatpipes, it maximizes heat transfer. The thin aluminium fins (0.4mm) provide minimized heatsink weight, and prevents excessive force on the VGA card. More importantly, the heatsink is positioned above the VGA card that optimizes cooling efficiency and allows compatibility with SLI and CrossFire setups.
