actually this design might actually work reasonably well if the damn fans weren't contra-rotating.

If they were serious about the whole jet turbine principle, they gotta chuck the fans in series to get more static pressure at double the noise output, they then compensate by having a denser fin array thus possibly leading to a temperature drop. From my past experiences with Palit though, they have decent design (before this atrocity albeit) but their execution and attention to detail is lacking, preventing their stuff from ever becoming top tier.
Small stuff like the aluminium fins are not soldered to the copper heatpipes, copper plate contact tolerances, fan motor quality etc etc.

This current setup is a complete fail though.

Wonder if one could fit two 10k rpm 12cm deltas instead of those :D

Now that I would call turbo jet.

I wish the card looked more like candy. Gamerock is a silly name, they might as well go all in.

4 fans spinning at opposite directions. Weird design & doesn't seem to help keeping the card cool. All that for extra buck doesn't seem like a cool card to me. Color scheme looks cheesy IMO.

Shouldn't this hardware switch just switch to "safe" and "overclock" versions of BIOS? According to Palit official specs for DualBIOS feature on their site... They also write there that the card has 3 profiles which can be switched by software: OC, Gaming and Silent... Why didn't you checked these profiles for noise levels?
