The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

Based on this photograph...



Could somebody guess-timate using photoshop how long this card will be? I'm specially interested as I'm modding a case and length is a special issue, and I'm not willing to do a ton of work to find out later that I can't put a high-end card inside

nah , it doesn't make sense at all for me , fan has to blow most of the air over the heatsink , the way it is made most of the air will flow from the back of the PCB without ...

if that is the intake then the exhaust from the other side "top" , and both ways doesn't make any sense and wont circulate enough over the heatsink ..

IMO as that fan is centrifugal it will suck air from the middle (doesnt matter if its top or botton) and throw it outside. If you think about it it's actually good when you have all your cards together in SLI or 3-Way as the cards are better ventilated.

I'm kind of disappointed with the stock heatsink (if that is in fact one). For as expensive as this card will be and the high TDP of the card, I wish they had put a bigger fan on the heatsink.

Lets not bash the horse until its here, would ya?
