Rhayven44 said:The Retail one (about 10 bucks more), is actually the one with the smaller heatsink and fan. However, there is a chance that it will already be unlocked to 16 pipes when you get it.
I had been wondering about this, and just recieved the retail one myself. AtiTool was happy to tell me that I am one of the lucky AGP owners to get all 16 pipes already unlocked. I'll post some score differences from my 9800 pro later if anyone is curious
Now I just need to pray that it maintains a reasonable temperature...
Sounds like we're on the same boat. Mine came unlocked already as well.
What temps are you getting? Mine are hitting 90 on full load
It kinda gets me mad that it basically forces me to immediately buy an aftermarket cooler or else risk lowering my card life expectancy right out of the box
Oh well at least my new cooler will hopefully last a long time and will fit my next card in the future as well.
