VTX 5870 reference design?

[BS Dave]

Did anyone who bought one of the VTX 5870's get a reference design?

By the that i mean the old cooler and voltage tweeking in afterburner?

If so can you let me know?

really tempted to get one to play BC2 but would love something just a little quicker...ie with a bit of overclocking headroom.

Gibbo is there anyway to find out what version i would get?? ie would like reference...i can pop into the shop after xmas as the girlfriend is from stoke, but they might all be gone by then...

Anyone? I'm sure there are equal numbers of people who would like the red version as well so it would be worth 10 mins for a bunch of happy customers...go on, go on...

I got one of these when they where on special offer and all i can say is that mine looks just like the picture whether that is reference or not I don't know.

I received the red 'heatpipe' cooler deisgn and mighty impressed I am with it.

Its as quiet as my old 5830 with a Zalman VF3000 cooler attached. Cant praise it highly enough.
