Nah I'm 90% sure it was one of the only onesthat cooled the vrm. At that time it was the Asus first cooler that didn't do VRMs, which has continued to this day. I don't think MSI did either at that time either
Why oh why did XFX change their cooler design their last series was the nicest looking GPU on the market IMHO or am I thinking of another brand here? You remember the one with that lovely smooth shroud with soft curves?
