Yup, just a small passive heatsink. You can kind of see it in the open top flashed picture, right underneath the SLI logo on the bridge. It barely clears the sound card, but it does clear. The X300 isn't much of a performer, but it's PCI Express, passively cooled, and it has a DVI connection. Works great for what I need it to do. Even Ultramon's smart taskbar works!
