    Dude, what's the point of releasing a card with a single slot cooler and a dual slot bracket? Come on is it really so hard to grasp? Have you ever seen a single slot card with a dual slot bracket?

    There are better ones out there. EK i believe are already shipping their blocks. This one is prolly designed and manufactured by Swiftech. I've always respected Swiftech but they're not the best anymore.

    Ah, well I stand corrected then. I was pretty much AFK during that entire time period.

    Did you try understanding my whole post? The 'reference' design has FOUR out's, I'm questioning whether the card has dropped one, has fitted four in a single slot OR still uses a two slot out to maintain the outs?
    Is that so hard to comprehend?

    Let me rephrase then. A single slot card can no longer be called that if it uses a dual slot bracket because "drumroll" it uses up two slots at the back and single slot heatsink becomes nothing more than a joke.

    So... It probably uses cable splitters, or has reduced number of outputs.

    Simple enough?

    In addition, the EVGA GTX 680 water cooled is optimized for overclocking with a 5 Phase PWM Design and 8pin + 6pin power connectors.
    Nice advantage when overclocking

    EDIT

    Koolance gtx680 waterblock looks so cool.

    Excellent, thanks
    Dropped one video out* and rearranged the power sockets.


    *And how many actually need the four?
