ASUS EN6800GT PCIe

[ohnnyj]

Hello all:

The card I am referring to can be seen here.

Is that a different heatsink than stock? Or is it just overlaid in that silver color?

Personally I find this card more appealing than all the others as it deviates from the normal green PCB and stock heatsink.

In fact it has me thinking of whether or not to sell my two BFGs and get these instead. Especially if that cooler is made of copper or something to help with temps.

It looks like its a stock cooler without the sticker but is branded in the silver stuff. Don't the BFG's have blue led's in the fans?

No, the PCIes are simply stock cooled and even have the Nalu mermaid on the front (no BFG logo). I believe the blue LED one is the dual fan model that everyone seems to dislike and it is an AGP variant.

Yeah, i was wondering because my 6800gt had the blue led's
