Interesting cards: Custom cooler!
Let’s start with board makers having made an effort to release original cards, read with custom coolers.

Sticker Party Cards!
Fortunately for us, there’s no a standard packaging designed by AMD… Here are all reference cards with a sticker to make a diff between boards partners. Really boring…

I don’t like XFX look, this are not Geforce style cards so what the problem, XFX?

Merci YulFi pour le lien!
For me it’s always sticker party cards or to be more precise, blower type cards.
Coolers like the XFX are only good for blowing hot air inside your case. Imagine this thing overclocked blowing 300W worth of heat inside the case. Better yet, imagine two of them. Thanks but no thanks.
Not to mention that with internally exhausting cards, the top card gets boiled at load and starts screaming like a banshee in heat.
JeGX> De rien !
@Psolord
well by looking at XFX card it don’t seems to
blow hot air inside the case but the sadly it cant be said about Giga solution
to be honest I prefer XFX more than others
specially as to slow big fan tend to be cooler
and far more silent than on fast small fan

kitguru reviewd this card as per JegX’s information. Here are some pics.

The card has holes on all sides, which is the typical setup for vertical blowing cards.
In order not be misunderstood, I am not saying they don’t have good cooling. Only that this good cooling comes at the expense of the rest of the system. Moreover in dual card mode, the top card gets fcuked!
I have a very recent experience with this, testing a friends GTX 460 SLI setup.
