Just got back from our product design team, the card will take up 4 slots in total.
Actually the cooler was designed to be use as a passive cooler for lower end cards, which it will still take up 3 slots.

In my opinion the cooler needs to be modified to fit in 3 slots (including cooling fan), plus the height has to be reduced to be a true mass production design.

it needs to be two slots, with the third slot for air to the fan. Otherwise its not going to fit in many systems.

Indeed our target would be 2.5 slots including the fan to leave some space for fresh air, like some of the solutions in the market.

That would definately be more feasible. I'm sure it would lose much of that cooling power though.

looks like a card i would like to have. That cooler looks to be overkill and i am all about overkill

Our mass production model will use more "generic" heatsink design, more details coming once spec is finalized.

The newer, compact heatsink may compromise the cooling efficiency. This cooler has shown some of the best cooling efficiency figures for a GTX 260 running at speeds as high as 750/1575 MHz. The test only ends up popularising the PCC HP4-1226.

If anyone can fit it in their case...

That's true, however most users will only consider max. of 3 slots as "acceptable". And this requires much redesign work to be done, so our first batch of the cards will most probably use other cooling solutions available.

maybe you shoudl consider having heatsink on both sides of the card. you could make it 1 or 2 slots thinner, if you have a passive heatsink on top, taking some of hte heat away.
