Totally agree.. This thing looks quite bad.
But about this, why aren't there many custom cards with blower-type fans? Blowers do tend to be better cooling solutions in SLI/CFX setups, no?
It would be nice for other vendors to start making custom blowers, but if that happens i wish they'll stay far away from gigabyte's design..far far away.

This cooler really reminds me of the one Asus showed with its white 970s. I think even if it's ugly the temp in SLi will be better than a custom or a reference cooler.

you can't assume that any certain style of cooler is better for SLI. There are many factors that are involved in your temps with your cards, spacing, case airflow, and other installed hardware just to name a few.
