Looks like we'll just have to wait for Arctic Cooling to make yet another 3 fan cooler.

i wouldnt have shoehorned my 5850 in to my lc17b if it didnt have a blower. they have their place and as long as they are suitable for the application, there is nothing wrong with them.

Ah I love google translate.

according to sources, this card Wang HD6990

Anyway, I wonder how much this will be going for and how many shaders it will have.

Effect of the heat depends on case cooling. I use only 2 Nexus 120mm fans @ 700rpm as exhaust (which work at loudest noise level I find any 120mm tolerable). This is good enough to get rid of heat produced by CPU but changing stock to aftermarket on gtx 580 raised the CPU temps by 6-7 degrees. Obviously adding another 250W of heat is not completely OK.

Well initially this was in a system with a single 750RPM Nexus fan an as exhaust and no intake.

Soooo...

I though it looked abit to thick for a dual slot card as well , could be a Engineering sample though

They should have used someone who is extremely tall, that way they could make the card look smaller?

Then I don't understand. Was it top or rear exhaust ? (I assume the CPU sink fan was oriented to push air in the same direction as exhaust)

^^ Guy certainly has some audio/visual talent, tho his material shaders could do with work.

Interesting artistic comment further down the youtube page.
