Wow! Unbelievable!
This looks fantastic. Good price too but shame I cannot afford it

I think someone who's building a new pc/upgrading would be made not to go with this deal.

Ah, didn't realise it was triple slot.

3 80mm fans would be a tad noisy as well.

Now I can sleep easier...

But a quieter and more efficient than the stock cooler

very nice price but i do not think it will fit in my cm690

Be surprised if it didnt, it's a pretty huge case, u may have to alter ur cable management tho if using the internal routing.

Looks like a triple slot cooler so anyone thinking quadfire better have largely spaced out PCI-e slots!

I have a XFX 4870X2 in an Antec300.

 

[psychas]

how many slots does it take 3 ?

Yeah its a 3 slot cooler.

As long as its quiet though I couldn't care, i've got the space

I'd be interested to know how many slots this takes as well.

Just spoke with the chap from asus the dimesions of the card are 4.376 inches x 10.5 inches and he says it is a dual slot solution not three.

Hmm that's strange this says it's three :S.

EDIT: Sorry just noticed adverts for competitors in link!

It is apparently a 2.5 slot cooler, the fans stick out past the 2nd slot, but not far enough to block the 3rd slot.

An okay that's cool . I'm quite tempted by one of these but I won't be building my new system till August so I'm not sure it's worth it.

only about inch and a half from my hard disk bays with my 4870 , i cannot remember the lenth of the 4870 though

 

[MoRT489]

What's cooling like if u have 2 of these or 2 reference 4870X2's in a system? does the top one run horrendously hot?

 

[woody79]

damm just bought a 260 would have spent they extra for one of those.

 

[95thrifles]

Can you confirm if these use the standard ATI reference design and therefore a full cover waterblock would fit? or not?

 

[Minimoke]

Damn it! I bought a 4850 X2 2GB at the start of the year for more than that!

 

[dmxdex2020]

I have this graphics card but im am still being going through rma lol asus are terrible with the rma when i had it working card was super cool and ran every game with ease.

 

[jej_knowles]

hi does anyone know how thick this card is? i know its 3 slot design but what are the actual dimensions! i checked the asus website and it doesnt give a figure for the thickness/height of the card!!! anyone have any answers???
looking at the picture above i would say you are wrong because from where im standing that card is taking up 3 slots!!!

 

[Venares]

Think I just found my new graphics card to go with my new i7 build when pay day rolls round
