I'll see soon enough, I got my sample for review Tuesday xD

Nice. Try to stick a 120mm fan on the heatsink see how it performs lol

I will, it'll have a 120mm Jonsbo FR-301 red LED PWM fan on it for at least half of the testing.

Hahah nice. Should cool like a beast with such a huge heatsink on it.

The thing that troubles me about the card is the fin orientation. Usually, a case with any kind of air flow, the air is going front to back, which these fins are totally perpendicular to. Having the fins rotated 90° would've been most likely better passively in a case with air flow.

Oh those fins being horizontal has something to do to help the fins that overhang to kinda heat up the air and pull air up where there's no pcb blocking it. But yeah with a case that has airflow that isn't ideal at all.

But them being parallel to the PCIE slot wouldn't change that, it'd still be overhanging off the PCB.

The only scenario I can see this as benefitial is if the view card is sitting straight up (motherboard parallel to the ground) in cases like a Bullet series from Case Labs.

Yea that's true but this gives more surface area that overhangs probably. And yea this would probably work for those use cases on ITX boxes and stuff.

Nostalgic look.
