KFA2 here :)

Remember the GeForce GTX 780 HOF from Galaxy that was launched a few months back? Well Galaxy tech is preparing the successor to their card known as the GeForce GTX 780 Ti HOF and this time its an absolute beast. The Galaxy HOF brand stands for “Hall of Fame” which are their top of the line high-performance graphic cards which i have become a huge fan of due to their white custom PCB layout. The pictures of the graphic card were revealed thanks to Videocardz!Galaxy GeForce GTX 780 Ti HOF

GALAXY Prepares Beastly GeForce GTX 780 Ti HOF Graphic Card
The Galaxy GeForce GTX 780 Ti HOF “Hall of Fame” edition pushes the barrier and instead of the GK110-300-A1 chip incorporates NVIDIA’s flagship GK110-425-B1 which is the fully unlocked Kepler core featuring 2880 Cuda cores and a 3 GB GDDR5 memory running across a 384-bit interface. The HOF edition won’t be kept clocked at reference clocks but would feature some impressive over the GHz frequencies and still leave abundance of room for overclocking enthusiasts.
I don’t exactly know whether the PCB is different from the one featured on the GTX 780 HOF but i can sort out some features. The back of the PCB is equipped with the industry’s high-end Panasonic tantalum capacitors. In total, the core has its eight while the memory has four KEMET tantalum capacitors with a capacity of 330uF. On the back, six MDU3606 Mosfet from Magnachip can also be spotted. To deliver high-speed under overclocked specs, the memory is equipped with its own heat spreader. The PWM supply has its own set of heatsink.
Ofcourse, a GPU of such a design would require large amounts of cooling to keep the core and memory stable. Galaxy covers the cooling side with their flagship HOF series dual fan cooler which offers a much beefier heatsink design. The Galaxy GeForce GTX 780 Ti HOF makes use of a densely packed aluminum fin array that’s conveyed heat through four 6mm heatpipes running through the copper base. The dual fans measure 9cm and have a total of 9 blades which are enough to handle some mighty overclocks. The shroud itself looks beast for the monster card that is the GeForce GTX 780 Ti HOF.

I am not one for aesthetics but this does look stunning.
 
The bottom pic is confusing the life out of me, looks more like a daughter board to feed extra power then a gpu pcb?

Edit: think I'm spot on, look at the back of the card, opening in the backplate is only large enough for a pair of 8 pins.

Same for me, I have been scratching my head over that pic.
 
The last pic is from that boards that gives extra power to graphics cards, used by extreme overclockers to get more POWA.

external power supply module with an 8 Phase PWM with its own set of voltage adjustment and tuning points powered via three 8 Pin connectors.

Not just that but looking at the pic of the bottom board I can't see any PCI-E slots or even SLI bridges so what the hell is this board? lol :confused:

Any idea what KFA are like in terms of RMA and reliability?

Not seen any real problems. I noticed the yanks had a couple of HoF 780's that went pop when they went over 1.35v but I think that was just a bad batch. As far as RMA's go, they are in the UK, so should be a nice quick turn around. They are the old BFG guys mainly as well, so good guys :)
 
Had a closer look, definitely a duaghter board for more power, the black things on the far left are terminal blocks for running wires too and from the actual card, looks similar to the one evga and kingpin use.

@r7slayer, I was more concerned with the lack of gk110 core and memory chips :p
 
From TFA:

There’s also a high probability that Galaxy would also sell a separate external power supply module also ships with the GeForce GTX 780 Ti HOF, offering an 8 Phase PWM with its own set of voltage adjustment and tuning points powered via three 8 Pin connectors.
