    Sure .. Why didn't they just use a standard General Electrics turbofan for the fan instead of something from Delta? Would make the same noise -.-

    I imagine they'll be gone pretty quickly.

    Love that aluminium plate, that looks great.

    According to that, the fan is driven by an induction motor. LOL.

    edit: oh, no. They were wrong.

    And that is a lot of thermal paste...

    While the heatsink is very pretty i cant help thinking a simpler solution would have been cheaper to integrate and could have been designed to work just aswell?

    If the 40nm process wasn't such a worthless pile of &^%@ this might have been a good chip. In the end, I think the rumord 576mm sq die size (and associated yeild issues/power consumption) is going to relegate this to just below prescott on the list of worst chips of all time.

    doubt it titan.. they have a fan that pulls 20w by itself and a heatpipe system that rivals the hr-03 plus XD the thing is going to run hot as hell

    I mean it's nice they have a beefy reference cooler but they aren't doing it so you can oc.. it's because the card is a mess

    well, lets think positive, maybe it's got the fan and heavy shroud and sink for it's incredible overclocking abilities :eyebrow:

    The best thing about this is... Wait, wouldn't you burn yourself on the exposed heatsink cover?
