PowerColor Teases with Vortex III Cooling Solution
Keeping up with a trend pioneered by the likes of ASUS, ZOTAC, and others, PowerColor is working on a high-performance albeit triple-slot graphics card cooling solution called Vortex III, which the company plans to implement on upcoming Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition graphics cards. A teaser picture, which reveals quite a bit about the new cooler, was posted by DonanimHaber. The picture reveals the cooler to use a black+red color scheme matching with a black colored PCB, a design that appears to occupy three expansion slots, and three fans ventilating a large aluminum fin heatsink below them. PowerColor is likely to exhibit new graphics cards that implement the Vortex III cooling solution, at Computex 2012.

It sucks when you are playing a game and not using headphones if your graphics card sounds like a jet turbine.
A 3 fan triple slot cooler is a small price to pay for a quiet card. Plus,you have more headroom to overclock with a better cooler, too.
I wouldn't mind 2 larger and quieter fans. I certainly am a power+silence guy. All fans in my case are inaudible except when I open the case. That is all fans but the ones on my gpu. Twin frozr III
Side note do you like the 550d? I was looking at getting one and what fans do you have?
I am in the process of getting all cougar because they push more air are pretty much silent at a claimed 17db. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eHtZgdusTQ
