There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Powercolor dual fan is looking to be my Sapphire 5830 replacement for in house air rigs. Just need 1.5gb version.

I'm guessing they get extremely hot. The fan style they are using is terrible..

My worst performing 5870 (temperature wise) is a dual fan design. The reference design has a loud fan indeed, but it's so much better at cooling.
Exactly, my 5870 with dual fans is a piece of crap. I have been unable to confirm if a reference fan and heatsink can even be put on it, because its the second version.
