I can see these selling as well as H50/60/70s etc and I can see them being just as bad.
 
Having the pump on the rad can't help airflow...Interesting anyway. Not something I would touch though.
 
first off thats fugly lol secondly I doubt it does any better than a decent air cooler lol. and during looooooooooooooooooooong gaming session I can see it being worse lol
 
I can see it being usefull because it only fills one pci slot

Or maybe the clean looks

What i would like to see is a reviewer, Tom or anyone else, do a 24h stress test vs a reference air cooled model

EDIT: Can anyone see if the pcb is reference design?
 
That is just ugly. Sadly, it'll still sell really well no doubt. I can see this being 50-60C at idle for most people and hitting 80's on load to boot. Wouldn't dream of wasting my money on it.
 
I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole. A single rad for a card like this is dumb. I'd rather have just a reference PCB GTX 580 + EVGA's Hydro Copper II block on a thick 240mm rad. Or just a reference PCB GTX 580 lol

Edit: it's a crappy thin 120mm rad. dumb move, Zotac, dumb move.
