Are there any reviews on the Akimbo cooler that compares it to other coolers such as the Duorb? All of my searches came up empty so far.

The only crappy thing about some reviews is that the people don't know how to put their hardware through it's paces. Don't use nVidia's crappy little stress test. Throw ATI Tool at it for an hour and see how it goes.

I know, I know. I asked for comparison tests but in my defence who of us uses nTune to stress test their cards? 2% of us?

Someone needs to take this puppy and put it toe to toe with another card, same overclock but with a Duorb and run it through some stress tests with ATI Tool.

Get the Duorb.

You won't be able to use the Akimbo for next upgraded cards, but the Duorb will probably work with the next gen video cards.

I think that's your answer then.
