Yep. Exactly what ive been saying all along. But people were jumping on my back cause i said the cooler looked crap, and would be the same as the old one.

Well looks like Shamino liked it a lot.

Ok, He clearly stated that the noise was from the "wooosh.." of the air, not a high pitched whine, I think most people can deal with the sound of fast moving air..no? 50*C load at 100% fan is pretty freakaing good! Im pretty sure you could easily find some mid-way setting that offers decent temps while still being fairly quiet. What we really need is results on the black cooler, that one looks awsome

That black cooler reminds me of Pyrex cookware. The red one looks badass. Only solution: Red and Black Attack!

Shamino also said that it's still dead silent at 3k RPM and that moves a ton of air as well.

now will there be two versions of this?

I may just wait and grab one for $450 if it is indeed the top of the line card.

50c at full load so he says. You also realize he was running his setup out of the case and no mention of what ambient temps were. They could have been 20c which is pretty low. I take temp statements with a grain of salt when it comes to reviews cause they are ALWAYS much warmer when I recieve the card and run it from within a case with much warmer ambient temps.

Agree again Cant.

50C at full load it pretty crap. My X1800 was only 55C at 100%, with case closed. The noise is stupid.

I think this cooler is going to be crap.:)

So...the new cooler can handle the increased heatload of the x1950XTX, doesn't have the high pitched whine, still has lower temps then the x1800 cooler at 100% and its still crap. Your logic is crap.

The whine was the really annoying part... I don't know how moving air is that annoying... honestly...

can someone pls clarify me if 1950xtx is 90 or 80/85nm?
I thought it was 90 but everyone says it is 80/85...??

Every time I see one of those Ruby renderings or nVidia's elf chick, I think about the guy whose job it is to 3D model a camel toe.

the cooler is definitely better on the x1950xt. looks realy nice.

Heh, I just always got a kick out of how anatomically detailed the 3D renderings get...kinda pathetic they think polygonal T&A is going to sell video cards.
