Sapphire HD 5750 Vapor-X 1 GB Pictured
Sapphire's newest mid-range offering is also one of the first non-reference designs of the ATI Radeon HD 5700 series. The company brings the popular Vapor-X cooling technology to the mid-range Radeon HD 5750, along with 1 GB of GDDR5 memory. From the limited visuals of the PCB, we can make that Sapphire has come up with entirely its own PCB design, which is slightly shorter than the AMD reference Radeon HD 5700 board. The center of attraction, the cooler, consists of a sporty cooler shroud, under which, is a Vapor-X GPU cooler. A GPU contact block with a Vapor chamber acts as a large heatpipe, uniformly conveying heat to the heatsink above it, which is cooled by a fan. The connectivity cluster is standard: two DVI-D, and one each of DisplayPort, and HDMI (with 7.1 channel audio). Under the hood, the Radeon HD 5750 packs 720 stream processors, and a 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface. Sapphire gave its Vapor-X accelerator slightly overclocked settings: core running at 710 MHz (core, reference: 700 MHz), 1160 MHz (memory, reference 1150 MHz). Slated for early November, the Sapphire HD 5750 Vapor-X 1 GB will be priced slightly higher than the reference-design accelerators already available.

Btw this cooler looks really troublesome an ineffective just like old Sapphire hd4830/4850 original designs use to have it. They just hear what people wee doing on their hd3850 singe slots ... removing top plasic and putting their big lga775 socket cooler on top :D
It's good for diy but i hate to see how they tight their pocket when some original cooling solution cames out on their new card (Sapphire) They now looks more and more like budget Club3D/VTX/Powercolor solutions and nowhere near great Zotac AMP! cooling (which are they selling nvidia chips under hood). And after all Gigabyte and ECS first went under that gamer oriented solution transition and it's a good way for manufacturers that produce for Zalman/Arctic Cooling to get rid of their stocks which doesnt sell well in after market.
Its cooled my 2 heatpipes...
Its nice to have a 5750 cooled this way..I wonder how much oc it handle!
why not the 5870 first?
Its between the cooler base and the fins.
if it's true then that's great! :)
