Very nice looking. Its also great how they have it so you can remove the fans, one thing I noticed before I sold my Twin Frozer 3 card is that it was hard to clean not just the fans but the actual heat sink underneath them.

The height adjustment is very interesting as well, will be good to see what difference it makes, if any.

Great simple idea's nobody else has thought of yet by PC

compressed air works well :P

though i agree makers should come up with ways to make the fans easier to remove for cleaning

Compressed air is one of those things I always for some reason forget to add to the shopping cart and just never end up getting a can lol..

Is the idea behind the moveable fans to be able to direct airflow to better suit your case airflow?

just a queston from a village idiot

Looks really nice. I'm really toying with the idea of getting a non-reference 7970 given that 680's are out of stock everywhere and the AMD cards are extremely good value.

Get the 79 series .... the 680's are well over the top... price wise
