That's what I thought...would you happen to know where it exhausts from? I'm wondering if a slot fan might fix this issue.

As far as I know it's all around the card where there are open spaces. I'll have to check again but I don't think the fans pull air off of the heatsink. Are you having a temp problem?

I am definitely having a temp problem. My CPU temps are spiking like crazy ever since I installed this card. I've ordered a set of 7 new case fans, the Aerocool Shark Fans, and an aftermarket CPU cooler. I'm hoping that greatly improved airflow inside the case will fix this issue, but if not then I dunno what to do.

This is an awesome graphics card...just stinks that they don't use the vent. :(

I agree that it would be nicer if the card expel the air out the back but with good airflow in your case it should not be a problem. I put a fan on the side of my case blowing air onto the graphics card and that seemed to help a bit. The aftermarket CPU cooler will do the most for you i would emagine. I have 6 fans total in my case. O, and make sure you set a custome fan profile in gpu tweak, ans set it aggressivly lol. Best of luck! Thanks for the best answer too!
