I would tend to doubt that there will ever be ANY "non-reference design" silent (fanless) GTX 670 or even GTX 660 cards. And: probably not any silent (fanless) of any of the GTX 600 series cards for purchase anytime soon.
The only available silent GTX 500 series cards are: GTX 520's.
Whether there will be any better performing (GTX 630, 640, 650) + silent cards remains to be seen.

I did not mean passive cooling. What I meant was lower dB and better temperatures. I bought an Antec 300, and recently I lowered the fans (2x Front, 1x Rear, and 1x Top) from Medium/High to low. The difference in noise is so incredible that I'm surprised I didn't do it a long time ago. There was no major difference in temps either.

That said, I think I am limited to mainly Asus and Gigabyte. Maybe MSI as well? Frozr II and Windforce seem liked good cooling solutions. I'm sure I will be hitting F5 over and over come Thursday morning.

If the 680, as other thread states, is the repackaged 660, then what has been repackaged as 670?

What was meant to be 660, is now 670, and what was meant to be 670, is now 680. At least, that's what I gather.

Wizard gave it a 10.0, first card ever rated that high.

Yes, you've seen correctly, the ASUS GeForce GTX 670 Direct CU II TOP is the first graphics card ever that I gave a perfect ten score.
...........
Overall the ASUS GTX 670 Direct CU II is the best card I ever tested. I simply can't find anything wrong with it. ASUS has sucessfully addressed all the shortcomings of NVIDIA's reference design, yet asks only a moderate $20 price premium for their card. This means that you can get faster than GTX 680 performance at $420. And the card manages all that with a dual slot cooler, that just screams "put me in SLI".

I'm trying to hold off. I don't really need one. I have a 680 and 460s in SLI!

For those looking the Asus model looks to be the nicest one of all....So far.

I don't even think it is actually for sale anywhere. Definitely the highest stock clocks around (again for a card that doesn't really exist) but it remains to be seen if the ceiling is any better with the voltage restrictions. Nice looking card though, for sure!
