ive got one of these waiting for collection,

but ive just noticed komplett dont stock them anymore,

is it because they changed the cooler on it?

apart from the cooler, i assume thats the only difference?

i dont plan on keeping the stock cooler, as im ordering a gpu wc block.

I would think the pcb is the same but if you look at the pics of the two cards the connections seem to be different.
The pics may not be right though as the listed interfaces are the same for both cards on komplett.

The first link is the V1 & the second link the V2 cooler.
The v2 cooler is better.
Both cards are the same apart from the coolers.

V1 offers less spillage (like air passing over the sides of the card instead of out the back) while V2 actually blows air onto the GPU. Which is better, I don't know - both seem to offer similar temps. Personally I don't care, I'm gonna fit an aftermarket onto it anyway
