5970 PCB colours?

"So yeah, this is the most powerful GPU ever made."
"Hmm... does it come in blue?"

Really though (although it's entirely pointless) Sapphire and HIS do a lot of blue PCBs.
 
I think most of them will be black. I don't see why it matters though, they come with a backplate don't they? Unless you're watercooling.

Just look at the pictures though. I know the pictures aren't always representative of the final product, but they usually are.

e.g:

It will be watercooled and colour does matter to me. My old sapphire 4870 came with a blue PCB. Will look at some reviews to see what they are thanks.
 
I'm using EK blocks on mine and they screw into the stock back plate - so colour is not an issue. However it does mean that you won't be able to reduce the length (it sticks out past the PCB by about 20mm) by fitting the block.
