The ATI Radeon X1950 PRO has been launched for a couple of days now and press releases announcing the various offerings from vendors have been making the rounds. Looking through all these releases, we noticed a trend of these vendors preferring third party or in-house customized coolers. In other words, few manufacturers are using the reference ATI cooler. Instead, two-slot solutions are rather popular, with brands like ASUS, GeCube, HIS, MSI and PowerColor opting for them. One would think that most consumers would be in favor of a single-slot cooler against a larger one but it seems that the vendors have different ideas.
