The memory is indeed not actively cooled, but the results speak for themselves. The card idles at the low 30's, is quiet, uses 100w full load and only 18w idle. This particular 5770 performs around the level of a GTX260, at a lower price point.
Also, don't let the size of the heatsink fool you, the design is just as important.
