    They don't look like they are going to expel out the case anymore so are they still dual slot?

    Oooh they look a bit tastey Not really sure about all those heatpipes tbh... Which friggin way round is it sposed to go... I guess it has to blow towards the end of the card e.g. into the case...?

    DOH!

    Looks like Techpowerup got things a little muddled up, judging by that Data Sheet.

    X1 = NVIDIA 6800/7800

    X2 = ATI X1800/X1900

    Not available yet. I hope they perform well, im waiting to see how good they are on a X1800XT. The Zalman gets mixed results.

    Should be a good buy for Smokey, offers similar to better-ish results at a MUCH lower noise.

    I'm still loving my Zalman. Probably getting this for my 7800GT when it comes out.. definitely

    Another here:
    http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/A...g/AcceleroX2/1

    Bearing in mind the other one is with no case, but this is only with a X1800XL.

    Looks pretty good, ill be getting one for sure, allow me to overclock, without reaching 80C, or getting good clocks and having it as loud as hell.
