eVGA 7800 GT CO question

[wongnog]

I just picked up an eVGA 7800 GT CO for the amazing price of $310 CAN. I think it was priced so low because nowhere on the box does it mention this is the CO edition. However the sticker on the back does say P/N: 256-P2-N517-AZ (the sticker on the box and card both match). N517 means CO, right? Funny thing is both the sticker and the box labelling all say e-GeForce 7800GT, no where does it mention CO. How can I be sure I've bought the right thing? I haven't openned the box yet just to make sure. Also the sticker on the back of the card (visible through a hole in the box) looks like it's either peeling off or it wasn't stuck on properly. Probably the latter, it doesn't look like there's any evidence of tampering because the sticker has these hash marks which are all intact. Just feeling a bit paramoid and hoping you guys could help me out! Thanks.

If there's a window on the box, can you see a copper heatsink? Just open it!

The window on the back is only to show you the serial number sticker on the back of the card, so you can verify it matches the sticker on the box. Actually now that I notice, the front of the box says in big lettering "w/Copper Heatsink". That means CO edition right!

I was going to ask that, too, but figured you'd see that. :laugh:

That's not a bad deal, either. You paid about $272 USD for that card.
