There seems to be two different categories of VGA cooler that manufacturers install at the factory. The one with the casing that directs airflow through the heatsink and out of the computer case like this and the sort that just impels air onto the heatsink and allows it to disperse in the case like this. I am wondering, which is the best and most reliable type? The case that I am getting is very large and is supposed to circulate air well. Your input is very much appreciated!
 
k, first, all the links are identical lol... or my firefox is playing a dirty trick on me hahaha

second, it depends... if you have really good aiflow in the case then it doesn't really matter, if you are worried about the inside of your case getting too hot go with the one that sends the hot air out
