Definitely not as good as regular coolers but very interesting and unusual.
Definitely an unusual cooler with the fan placement. Spot cooling for the VRM?

I remember PoV best from their GTX 465s which were actually 470s with just a 465 bios.

I'd be too paranoid to buy a sealed box without knowing 100% what was inside.
It's not hard to get a box wrapped like that if you have access to the machinery.

Here's a neat GTX 1070 sample. Chip and PCB dated in the middle of March, 2016. Rear shroud and fan housing are unfinished raw aluminum, forward shroud has the rough black stippled finish used on the Titan X Maxwell. All portions of the cooler shroud are dated March 16, 2016, the heatsink assembly is dated individually with what appears to be either April 17th of April 11th, 2016. The heatsink is otherwise identical to the retail version.

Performs exactly as you'd expect any 1070 to perform. Some quick "all sliders maxed" tweaking yielded 2126MHz max boost, 2085MHz average boost, and 2238MHz GDDR5. The firmware is a later build. Presumably this card sat around for awhile testing firmware builds before being taken home or dumped at a recycler.

Gotta love the "Caution, hot surface" sticker on what I assume to be chromed plastic with zero connection to any heat source.

It's special for sure, but I wouldn't pay that amount of money. As a big fanboy, maybe 300-500 tops.
700 Euros on shipping

Nice so he's violating eBay policies in two ways here: dodging fees and using eBay to facilitate external sales. Very cool, very legal.
Germany has different laws than in the US. It is possible that such limitations are not legal and thus ebay Germany might have to tolerate things like that.
