Galaxy Designs Non-reference GTX 480 with Vapor-Chamber Cooling
Galaxy displayed a new GeForce GTX 480 graphics card that uses non-reference design PCB and cooling. The unique selling point here is a cooler that Galaxy claims to be superior than the reference, making use of the Vapor-chamber technology for quickly transferring heat off the GPU to the heatsink. It also features a very Gundam-styled cooler shroud the company has been toying with on several of its recent designs. The GeForce GTX 480 packs 480 CUDA cores, and 1536 MB of memory across a 384-bit GDDR5 interface. Clock speeds are not known at this point.

Tho this one seems even more plastic-y than the last one...
Finally, I almost tought that Im only one who thinks that it should be used on Fermi too. :D
I don't know of fire hazard crow1001, but I think in a badly cooled case or a SLI solution the most likely thing to happen is the plastic melting. And that would be entertaining to see. :roll:
Oh well, keep on going Galaxy!
This would be nice on fermi:D
This bit kinda looks like Wall-E on crack lol
