HIS Announces Low-Profile Radeon HD 7750 iCooler Graphics Card
HIS announced the Radeon HD 7750 iCooler low-profile graphics card. The card is designed to provide mid-range DirectX 11 performance to slim form-factor (SFF) PCs, and HTPCs. The card is designed with a half-height PCB, but its active air cooler spans across two expansion slots in your system. To keep its temperatures in check, HIS opted for the older AMD reference GPU clock speed of 800 MHz. AMD recently updated that to 900 MHz. The memory is clocked at 1125 MHz (4.50 GHz GDDR5-effective).
The cooler uses a monolithic aluminum heatsink which cools the GPU, VRM, and memory chips on the obverse side of the PCB. The heatsink is ventilated by two 40 mm fans. HIS claims that the cooling solution has its noise output under 28 dBA. Display connectors include dual-link DVI, HDMI 1.4a, and D-Sub. HIS includes low-profile brackets with the card.

If Nvidia’s AIB could come out with the GT640 DDR3 like this and price it at $70 the could be a contender in the HTPC and those media and SFF chassis.
It's good and all, but LP HD 7750s are so hard to find here.... :(
That being said, there were plenty of board partners coming out with higher clock rates that were over the original stock 800mhz.
What's not clear to me is whether the 900 mhz also run off slot power.
As an aside, I do kind of wish that there were low profile 7750's that used fanless designs.
I wonder how this performs? since its clocked 100MHz higher hmmmm
And I think there is a sapphire version as well.
So it might be doable in low profile. Might need to underclock it a little, though.
BTW in my opion it IS possible indeed but then requiers you to use a copper vapor chamber witch kinda beats the porpuse of being cheap.
