lol this is not good HD 6850 Temperature 77c...... and with FurMark(85-90)

hopefully the HD6870 cooling works better... looks more like HD58xx cooling and that worked great (+ I love the design of it).
I lol'd at the bracket comparision though, 2C improvement YEA RIGHT!

If all people would share opinions in an objective manner, the world would be a friendlier place
What, you don't think changing the exhaust bracket to letters XFX has at least 2C Difference!?
Looks like nice cooling solutions, but I'll wait for the reviews.
"No, you'll warrant no villain's exposition from me."
I'm glad XFX is looking for ways to improve upon the crappy old design that's been used far too long. Also looking forward to the single slot design...I've always dreamed of 4 way crossfire with medium to high end cards. Usually the single slot ones are really weak value cards.

lol, glad I don't use aircooling. I can't stand noise like I used to, 31db 4400RPMmust be joking
, more like 55db.

I refuse to participate in any debate with creationists because doing so would give them the "oxygen of respectability" that they want.
Creationists don't mind being beaten in an argument. What matters to them is that I give them recognition by bothering to argue with them in public.
They were cool if u jack the fan up which makes them loud like any stock cooler. The 5850/5870 reference coolers are nothing to write home about. Infact I'd say they're pretty crappy. Almost all stock coolers are pretty crap. They're quiet at idle and loud on loud and they OC pretty bad unless u got lucky and got a sweet card. I'm def not surprised XFX is tryin to figure out better ways to cool the new ATI cards. If the reference design was so awesome, they wouldn't waste money on stuff like this.
Single slot is good cause u can run 4-way CF with a sound card, which u cannot do on any board with 2 slot coolers.
i hate to say it but its going to come down to the *** **** driver.

SO far they look good. I'm looking to go air again for my next build, which will by no means be high end again.
So come on 6870, outperform my old 4870x2 and be nice cheap and quiet and I'll get you my little pretty thing.

All along the watchtower the watchmen watch the eternal return.
wow.. 2C
Hooray for XFX logos!
we'll see aircraft shaped like them soon
sapphire vapor-x had them; 5770 had one (although the VC cooler completely sucked); 5870 and 5970 had vapor chambers
@Baron_Davis: all dual slot aircoolers suck under load (that's why i use watercooling) in terms of noise OR temperature; all i say is that the amd stock coolers on 5850 and 5870 were better than almost every dual slot aftermarket cooler and custom design (only one better than the stock coolers is the sapphire vapor-x); additionally most custom PCBs sucked compared to the reference cards (voltage control)
and if a ref. cooler is inaudible @ idle (which was the case with 5850, 5870and 5970) and has reserves that allow overclocking to over 950mhz it's great (this was the case with 5850, 5870 and 5970), if you want it to be quiet @load you have to look at triple-slot designs or watercooling...

It is a bigger silicon area than HD5770, and has more expensive cooling. It is the same process, not an shrink. So there is no way they would cost the same, especially with Nvidia uncompetitiviness. And HD5770 had an initial MRSP of US$ 170.
