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.

Comparing with G1 (first is g1 second is this new one)
clock speeds: 1178 / 1329 MHz vs 1101 / 1241 MHz
Power requirement: 550W(one 6-pin and one 8-pin) vs 400W(with one 8-pin)
Card size: L=312mm,W=129mm,H=43mm vs L=266mm,W=129mm,H=43mm(without bracket)
so...I wonder first why they didn't provide same OC to this newer gpu(power is enough for 1178/1329 Mhz with one 8pin) and second if it will be better actually for SLI setup. Nevertheless only review (on SLI) will show the differences if any.

To me this kind of reminds me of one of those HIS IceQ Turbo coolers used for a HD 7850 but this one that Gigabyte designed looks much worse.

Anyone noticed that the pcb is much shorter then previous 970 cards out there? I'll stick to my gtx 970, windforce, TWINS.
