Club 3D Releases New GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 with Radial Heatpipe Cooling
Club 3D the European graphic card specialist, annouced today a new high-end model Club 3D 8800GT 512MB (CGNX-G882DDF) based on the NVIDIA G92 chipset with a special radial heatpipe cooling solution. This cooling system is more effective than the original stock cooling, which results in lower noise and better core temps. Other that that, the card ships with default 600/1800MHz core/memory clock speeds.

Anyways, there are absolutely zero (0) Club3D 8800GTs here, I've had an order for one 2 months now and none has come. So it doesn't really help for them to bring out and improved model when the basic model isn't even available.
That being said, I wouldn't mind having this, if it's 3-phase thingy as Palit version isn't available either yet.
Anyway, I like the cooler, even thought I like the "exhaust hot air out of the case instead of throwing it around the case"-ArcticCooling-style GPU cooler.
Not having any direct cooling for the memory chips except from the air being moved by the fan around is not good for long term. Also, that might mean oveclocking is out of the question...
