Zalman/PC Toys video card cooler owners...

[bluntman]

I was just wondering if you folks have noticed if the finish on the heatsink is starting to dull or not. I bought one of the PC Toys knockoff versions, which is still made my Zalman but instead of being gold in colour it's blue, and I noticed some slight "dulling" of the heatsink's colour.

TIA

Possible clearcoat coming off ?
I have the original Zalman and looks as good as it did when I bought it, but then again I don't look at it that much
