Passive coolers for modern GPUs?

Yo o/

As the title says, I'm wondoring wether or not coolers like these are still made. 
I recall seeing passive aftermarket coolers in the past. Basicly just a big ol' radiator on the gpu and pcb.

 

Cheers if you know about any that are still being made for the modern cards. 

Everyone have a cool signature. I don't, so I thought I would write something.

- Cool right?

I think you mean the Accelero S1 and S2 by Arctic. Never seen anything since tbh.

Most passive cooled cards are on low power office cards like the GT 1030, higher end cards like a 1060 or 1070 use a system that allows you to turn off the fans at idle to convert it into a passive cooled card.

The 1060 you can buy with a huge ass passive cooler. Linus did a video on one where he explored a few 10 gen cards from the Asia area that you can't really get in the US.

My profile picure is real. That's what I look like in real life. I'm actually a blue and white African Wild Dog.

Ryzen 9 5900X - MSI Ventus 2x OC 3060 Ti - 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz CL16 - ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming ITX/ax

hmm... I would love to have a passively cooled GPU. Under load it's hard to beat watercooling for noise on the GPU...
How are the ASUS Strix cards? I'm thinking that's the next best thing to go for as I'm not in the market for 1060s and the like...

Strix are pretty quiet but you don't need passive cooling for a quiet graphics card under load. You could get a large aftermarket cooler like a Morpheus or MK-26 and attach quiet case fans to it like NF-A12x25's.
