Bad idea is bad?
Looks like a nice heatsink but throwing fans on there is a must.
EDIT: nvm, I thought it was the 5850;

Yes because they are obviously going to make and sell a graphics card that will overheat and kill itself.

Yeah they're fine. I've been considering going full passive again on my system. Sell my 5850 for two 5750's and slap acceleros on them.... probably won't though, the 5850 is too nice to give up.

they would not sell a card that would destroy itself

All of the 5000 series run cool. If that cooler is good, should work fine.

It's been done before. XFX cheaped out so hard on their non 100% reference 4890 coolers that w/ intense games like STALKER:CS and Crysis could overheat the VRMs even @ stock, eventually killing the card. The 3850s and original 1 slot 4850s were also criticized for very poor heat dissipation IIRC.

Yup. You could probably run a 5770 passively juuust fine. The 5750 and 5770 use very little power, thus have a light heat output.

Speculation or based on real world experience?
I've seen the 5770 run passively.

Single-slot and passive would be a very bad idea, regardless the card, IMHO. There's not enough room for natural convection to take place. This is dual-slot.

Yea but i would love to see a single slot 5750/ 5770 with decent cooling ( a fan, and works better than the 1 slot 4850)
