Asus V8200 T5 Deluxe

[Iamghey]

Anyone know if the card has a one piece heatsink? (One piece as in chip cooler and ramsinks are not seperate)

thanks

Its one big heatsink, with a ton of thermal paste on the gpu, but none on the ram... (From factory)

No heatsinks on the ram??? no way! even the original v8200 had ramsinks....

oh wait nevermind, you mean there's no thermal paste on the ram, sorry

Lol the cards are pretty much the same except the TI 500 has a little more stability for the ocing (which is probably what they did) to make it have its cheap 8-11% increase over the GF3

From the pictures I've seen the Ti 500 version has same heatsink as original V8200. So there is three separate heatsinks (1 for GPU and 2 for memory)

Where can I see some pictures? On the Asus site, they don't show the Deluxe version. What color are the heatsinks?

Use search...

All V8200's have same heatsinks (old models with different fan attachment though).

I got an 8200-T5 Deluxe. The heatsink is in 3 pieces, one for each row of ram and one for the core. It's kinda a stupid design, since the core heatsink overlaps the ones for the memory, so that limits the fin area for the ram sinks.

If you ask me, the sinks are touching, because each ram heatsink has two pegs to hold them on the board, but they are not diagonally placed, so if you remove the core heatsink, they are not held on the ram correctly. I think the core heatsink presses on the ram sinks as an aid to the two pegs.

Can't complain though, as my card overclocks to 266/603 stable with those stock sinks. And I don't even have a video card cooler blowing over the card yet.
