ASUS has outfitted the card with a dual-slot cooling solution. The cooler is similar to that of the reference GTX260 with a huge difference. There are two 9-fin fans on the card. Each fan has the Republic of Gamer's logo on it. The card is 10.5" long, or one of the longer cards on the market today.
