the fan looks strange :( think the vapor x might run cooler and quieter?

The CuCore 5770 is what you want. It runs a custom PCB and cooling system designed by Asus, to make it more efficient at cooling than the stock.

Not sure how it compares in terms of temperatures to the VaporX.

Mates just bought a cucore the other day from aria, I bought a 4890 the other week and he decided its time for him to upgrade his 3870.. it did better then a thought with his e7200 iirc @ 3.1.. wasnt massively behind my p2 x4 955 @3.7, need to do more tweaking yet though.

agreed a 5770 is best but theres also the option of the 4870 which is just as good, just does't support dx11.
