Hi all,
I am trying to figure out exact differences between the earlier DC2 cooler and the one labeled V2 that came later this year. The cards in question are 7850, 7870, and 7950, and for the last card the V2 is quite a bit shorter than the original version. I am interested in if there is a difference it OC performance, noise, heat, TPD. My guess is that they had more time to pick appropriate silicon for the cards thereby reducing OC performance, while a newer cooler could give better performance, but that is indeed a guess. I dont trust ASUS sales pitch on this matter!
The price listings in my country give completely random price differences when the two DC2 versions are available in the same store, and I was hoping for a bargain of the "right" cooler.
