The graphics card improved in quality after you took it out of the box, looks a lot better out of it haha

Yeh i don't have a camera so have to use my phone, hence the crappy quality.

Unfortunately it may have to go back as its not compatible with any Full Cover water blocks. Im stuck between:

Keeping it and using a standard cooler for the CPU
Keeping it and just using a custom loop on the CPU
Sending it back for a GTX570 gainward phantom and running a loop through it all
