GALAX Unveils a Single-slot GeForce GTX 1070 Graphics Card
GALAX, at its GEC 2016 special event, unveiled a host of new graphics cards. While it's likely that all of these are designed for the Chinese market, one of the cards piqued our interest - the world's first single-slot GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card (as captioned by Chinese tech publication XFastest). This could even be a GTX 1060, looking at the visual similarities the PCB of the card shares with GTX 1060 Founders Edition. Given the 150W TDP of the GTX 1070, a single-slot card can certainly not be ruled out. The card appears to feature a dense copper fin-channel heatsink through which air is guided by a lateral-flow fan, covered by a metal cooler shroud with an industrial design. GALAX could launch this card some time in 2017.

Apparently someone also pushed a GALAX GTX 1060 HOF to 3Ghz+ under LN2.

Do your math and realize that these GALAX cards could possibly sport an outstanding performance per watt and acoustics without sacrificing performance too much.
well ... a nice point to it : is to have a single slot watercooled 1070 ... without the annoying double slot I/O
another idea is on a Mini DTX ... with 2 X16 ....
too bad it's not too common ... that one is a X58 (and many mini ITX case could fit a mini DTX and have 2 slot on the I/O)
nonetheless the laptop 1070 is a "slightly higher spec'ed type" and well that card is ... in a laptop, with far more constraint than a single slot form factor (remember the GeForce 9800 and 9600 in single slot ... i still have 3 of them and they are not too noisy )
nonetheless fin are copper on that one and seems to run at last 2/3 of the card ... would be plenty to warrant functional temps
although the 4850 had a 110W tdp while the 1070 has 150W ... but it's not the only difference and i doubt 40W more will make a single slot 1070 throttle like mad :p
3012 MHz, that's something new.
can't remember what happened with it, probably the heat killed it :laugh:
Now the obvious question, WHY use a DVI port, instead of using just MINI DP and leaving the rest of the slot open for cooling? Would be quieter, and exhale heat to boot.
Don't kid yourself - putting the 1080 in laptops is no way signifies an efficiency win, it simply means Nvidia thinks there is a market for laptops that are bigger than my desktop (And as stupid as it is, they may be right).
LN2 of course, but it's 3GHZ!!!!!1111111
The only times LN2 is interesting is when they get it stable enough to run some gaming benches (But they never do). I wish they would do this more often so we could test silly questions like "Would a Fury X at 2000 MHz match a Titan XP?"
That mostly means using a crapton of copper
