ATI 1650..tale of two heat sinks

[ConcernedParty]

I have noticed there are two configurations for the 1650
ATI {atp} being sold. One has an enclosure around the fan the
other seems to have a larger cast metal heat sink instead.
The model number listed are the same. Do either of them
have a better cooling ability than the other???

If you do a google image search for "X1650" you'll see there are far more
than two fan/hs configs. Assuming your case is normally ventilated any of
the designs will function more than adequately.

The two I refered to are ATI manufactured cards . Your
right that there are many "other" ATI 1650 chiped posibilities...
