Does 'Traditional' mean 'Reference' then as I see nothing else to make this stand out, especially only with a '2 benefit.

Only a 2 degree benefit... but its 28db quieter. thats HUGE

im pretty sure they are comparing their own windforce 3x cooler in terms of temps. the dba rating is more likely for their cooler vs reference

Humm quiet gaming may soon be here for non-liquid cooled cards.

Eh...I don't like having more hot air in my case...cool idea though!

 

[nforce4max]

Still has the same recirculation problem as the older designs, basically it loops some of the hot air over and over again raising the temps. Not the best cooler for a closed case and hot climates.

I would like to see a test build with dual/Tri SLI GTX 680s with this cooler. I'm mainly concerned with the PSU required.

3x80mm? I guess its no problem as long as they don't ramp up much. If they do, expect to go deaf. (Only partly joking)

 

[TheBigTroll]

these coolers werent mean for anything above 2way. otherwise the fans will choke

 

[eklipz330]

since the dB scale is logarithmic, 28dB quieter is about 8x quieter than what they were comparing it to....i think.
