lmao - a passive cooler has to dissipate exactly the same amount of heat, 
generated by the gpu, as an active cooler. In fact, your active cooler will add 
just a tiny amount MORE heat, through the energy expenditure of the fan.

To get the heat out of the case, you have the case fan(s) and psu unless you 
are actually looking at one of those Swiss made after market vga coolers 
(Arctic Cooling) that take up two slots and blow the gpu heat directly out of 
the case. But who has one of those? Besides they are a bitch to fit and do not 
fit every make of video card, even where they say they do (had to send one back 
myself).

Nothing wrong with passive cooling so long as the dissipation of the heatsink 
can keep up with the heat generation by the gpu.
