That looks like the stock cooler. I've sent you a PM

That is NOT a stock cooler. That is the ICEQ3 cooler, made by Arctic Cooling for that series of HIS cards. It is supposed to be a much superior cooling solution than stock. I just ordered that same card today from newegg. See my post regarding this same card

That HIS card is awesome...but I wonder if prices will continue to fall. Man I can't believe how cheap x1900s are going for!

And as for the game: BF2. Its the only game I play.

 

[confused1234]

ya i played that game before it was fun, any other games though. i dont like oblivion btw. i love FPS and RTS and MMORPG

 

[tuteja1986]

Bioshock
Crysis
Surpreme Commanders
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
Spore
Hell Gate London
The Witcher
ET : Quake War
BF2142
Company of Heroes

But all of thoes Bioshock will be the killer
