Located on top of the GPU is a water block from Thermaltake that is connected to an separate cooling unit which houses a 12V pump, radiator, and fan. The card is also overclocked to 695MHz for added performance. Firingsquad has a complete review of the board, including benchmarks against NVIDIA's GeForce 7950 GX2 Quad SLI card."

    I remember when chip stability was a feature of production equipment.

    This isn't for production work. 99% of the buyers for this product will use it in high-end gaming systems and as such it is ostensibly for gaming. ATi and nVidia both sell production-level video adapters that are designed for accuracy and stability more than absolute speed. This card is built for speed, pure and simple. I think it's an important distinction to make.
