eVGA 7800gtx KO edition
One thing that we noticed while testing the heat level of this card was how it stayed relatively cool to the touch. We've found that these 7800s can generate lots of heat after rigorous testing, enough to make them uncomfortable to handle. This card didn't seem to break a sweat, though. We think it's pretty safe to say that this 7800 will be able to handle hotter climates better than any of the others out right now,

I'm not sure what AT was talking about here, but the KO ACS3 cooler is a stock cooler with a metal cage. My KO's would be hot to the touch, and I got way better cooling results by using NV5 Silencers. The main reason to go with the KO's IMO is the factory OC.

edit: oh yeah, and because you can leave the KO rear bracket on the card when you install the NV5 Silencer to cool the RAM on the back of the card instead of using AC's sticky tape jury rig.
