We're not overly sold on the cooler. The triple fan design certainly keeps it cool and allows us to make the performance gains at stock that we saw. But the two little fans and one big one surrounded by a strange bronze effect in what is otherwise a sea of cheap-feeling black plastic is hardly something that reeks of quality, especially at the huge price that top-end GPUs are currently selling for. We know that complaining about the aesthetics of your GPU cooler is akin to bemoaning the cup-holders on your Porsche, but we want people to look at our system and get an instant grasp on how much it must have cost to put together. The Palit doesn't give that air of 'wow'. Another point is that Palit claim it is 7db quiter than the reference cooler, out of the box plumbed in and left we would go as far as to say it might be AS quieter but its never quieter, it is well worth pointing out it IS cooler though so maybe if you backed off the fans a bit they may still be able to make that claim.
