    That's a really nice looking single slot card.

    Well looking at it, Galaxy have used a vapor chamber cooler, like the one of the sapphire Vapor-x ati cards, while the heatsink is smaller it's also solid copper.
    They've also used a metal shroud to help act as a 2nd heat sink, looks like they redesigned the PWM curcit and fitted an aluminium heatsink to that.

    Still need to see the numbers but in theory that's a very well designed and thought out cooler.

    Re: Single Slot GTX260!

    My htpc is fine with a double slot cooled card, but I like the innovation.
    Wonder what the noise is like though?
    Would surely negate the point of fitting into slim htpc enclosures if it's as loud as a loud thing.

    Re: Single Slot GTX260!

    This could be what I am looking for in future. Got a 8800GTS in the shuttle atm and a dual slot GTX won't fit so the single slot might make things a lot easier
