A single slot GTX 1070 with reasonable temps is possible, if designed right.
That mostly means using a crapton of copper

These really do nothing at all to impress me. I have seen far too many disparities between LN2 and Air OC'ing. Some cards overlclock crazy well on LN2, and then suck on air (And vica versa). Air and liquid OC is all that matters.

Disparities between LN2 and air? This is about pushing the bloody limit.

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?"

To be fair, overclocking Fury X has always been an oxymoron anyway.

Haha the 1080's in laptops still use 180w, and they require fans as big as desktop cards.

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).
The 1070 in my laptop runs nice and cool. I repasted both the processor and gpu with liquid ultra TIM. Laptop runs quite for me.

Wow. Another single-slot card, and it's a GTX 1070?
Seems like good things from the past are making a big comeback !!!

Let's hope it will be available worldwide.

Looking really good! Last single slot card i owned was Sapphire Radeon X800 XT, 63W TDP. Card wasn't noisy at all, i really liked it.

Aw hell yes. I would be really happy if we could get back to the GTX 8800 GT days of single-slot coolers!

Haha the 1080's in laptops still use 180w, and they require fans as big as desktop cards.

No they don't. That majority of GPU cooling solutions were more than adequate for Maxwell 2 and are way overkill for Pascal. Thankfully some manufacturers are starting to wise up, which is why we're seeing single-fan GTX 1060s and single-slot GTX 1070s.

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).

This is the first generation where the highest-end desktop GPU has been able to be put into a laptop, as opposed to using a lower-specced chip and rebadging it as an "m" or similar. If you don't think that's commendable progress, well, you're the one kidding yourself.

As for "bigger than my desktop": GTX 1070 in 2.4kg, GTX 1080 in 5.5kg, GTX 1080 in 5.85l. I guess your desktop must be made of air.

BTW, show me a laptop twith RX 480 in the same weight and performance level... oh wait, they don't exist. And the reason they don't exist is because RX 480 is a power-guzzling heat-emitting POS.

Almost made it through an entire comment without being an Nvidia troll...but nope you just had to like always...

I can show you embedded solutions with the 480 in them and complete pcb power in the 95w tdp range. These solutions make amd more money than laptops hence why they exist.

Where to begin...
First not its not the first generation, there were GTX 980 laptops with Full GTX 980's and M variants in the same lineup.
Second, these are note the highest end cards from the generation. That would be the Titan X and soon to be GTX 1080ti.
The "M" variants of GPU's were essentially just the higher end GPU's (most of the time the second highest chip) with changes to the clock speeds and boards. Hence why chips like the GTX 680m were very similarly specced to the desktop counterparts (GTX 670 in this case) but with reduced clocks (Though the highest chip was kept out of the loop and some custom variants with more cores enabled or similar were released later like the GTX 680MX). Same goes for these chips as you will notice while the boost peak is the same however the base is lower because the chip has to be able to reduce its power consumption some of which comes from the difference in cooling solutions and such. They are still custom mobile variants, Nvidia just dropped the "M" and allowed the higher chip to be in the lineup due to improvements over the years and the demands of mobile gaming.
The chips (GTX 1080/1070 and others) are still rated for a ~150watt TDP range depending on the chip with this new design/standards for these mobile laptops (Though I have not seen much published regarding actual power consumption yet of these chips). Supposedly the GTX 980 for laptops (Not 980M) could eat up to 200 watts with overclocking though Boost limits it from what I read. So its not even close to a stretch that an RX 480 laptop could come out if they so pleased to release it though their focus has been on the middle grounds even there and they could easily cut a small amount of the clock speeds and such to get the power down just like Nvidia still does...

On to the subject...

I love these single slot cards, really want one in a low profile variant though I doubt it would be possible. They do for the GTX 1050ti, maybe they can do a GTX 1060 like that even if its the 3gb variant.

"Air and liquid OC is all that matters." Oh wow.

You do realize that most of the LN2 Records was done on a specifically designed cards, right? While the score and milestone is impressive for enthusiasts and hardcore Pro overclocker, it was NOT there to impress YOU.

It is to prove that a certain design aspect(VRM and PCB for example) of the card WORKS to further improve overclockability. Sometimes, these kind of fine-tuning can't be tested on air or water, and need specifically to be tested on exotic cooling(Single-stage, LN2, LHe) just to see how far the silicon could be pushed.

Therefore, with these LN2 Tests, the manufacturer can search for something to improve their design, create a better Graphics card with more durability, better overclockability, better tuning software, and finally make a FAR better graphics card for those "Air and Liquid Cooled" usage scenarios you mentioned above.

If you looked closer to what Galax has done specifically on the GTX 1060 HOF Card , you might be able to see that their handpicked VRAM IC + new PCB design managed to get the GDDR5 on the 1060 to go up to 2600Mhz+ bench-able, stable. That's GDDR5 10Gbps+, not GDDR5X. Now if that design could be implemented in the next-gen Hardware, wouldn't it benefit ALL users to get better performance ?

Looking only at the surface won't get you far man, look behind the scenes once in a while.

That mostly means using a crapton of copper

Give it 6 months and the thing is stacked full with dust. That small space is'nt doing good and will most likely as any other notebook CPU cooler become filled with dust.
