powercolour ones come with an AC x2 fan..
saphires dont...or mine didnt... :lol:

you have to buy a particular x2 fan as well(the one that comes supplied with a voltage regulater heat spreader...apparently...its needed for the pro version...and even then..you have to mod it for the sapphire pro.....because saphires have 2 molex connectors on the card...most agp only have 1...

All NVIDIA and ATI cards except for Radeon X1950 Pro are supported in this release.


I guess it's only overclocking and not temperature monitoring that's affected ?
