I see what kelainefes meant now

Supershanks couldn't get on there earlier either.

I think it's because it's the only review on the tinterweb and it's a chinese site.

Works for me anyway

Yeah it's working fine now, must have just been a temporary thing last night........ right, let's have a read........

Hmmmmmmmmm....... well they look to be good value for money. Don't really know what to think about this latest generation of cards......... I suppose the only thing is that with 2 x GTX280s in Sli you can now run Crysis at decent resolutions.....

Cooling it ? any tips for that ? they're running hot from the reviews and I'm unable to wait for HIS's IceQ.

Hardware Canucks reckon the HR-03 GT and Accelero S1 Rev 2 will both fit.

"Thermalright HR-03 GT, Thermaltake DuOrb, Coolink GFXChilla and Arctic Cooling S1 Rev.2 and every one of them fit without any problems at all"

And Which one is better ? the price difference from what I see isn't so high.

[Kelainefes]

Which is the best depends on your needs and space in the case.
The HR03 GT will fit with the fins below the card or on the back, the accelero will perfor on par but you can use a bigger fan on it and it has more clearance on the memory chips allowing for bigger spreaders to be installed, but it can be installed only one way.
The Accelero S1 Rev 2 will cost less than a half of the Thermalright.
I'd go for the Accelero, copper memory heatspreaders and a 12-14 cm fan.
The sharkoon 14 cm is cheap and when slightly downvolted (around 1000 rpm) is quiet.
