Single Slot GTX470!

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Looks like Galaxy is going to make a single slot GTX470:

That thing will whine more than 8 toddlers at the dentist's, geez

Wonder how hot it gets, would assume they have tested it and it works ok being single slot but as Queelis said I bet it will be noisy.

Yeah those are the as yet unanswered questions people need to know, what are the temps / noise levels like???

[Queelis]

Nevermind this. Again, where's the bloody "Delete" button?

i laughed when i read 470, let alone single cooler

It's an impossible task surely, assuming they consider people don't want jet engines in their cases. Can't see this one working I'm afraid.

Given that the heat sink looks to be all copper
The stock 470 cooler is aluminium with direct touch heat pipes, so an all copper heat sink should equal it.
The blower is probably going to be the big issue, that and heat not getting vented out of the back of the case.
Venting the hot air out of the back of the case is one area where I like the nvidia stock coolers, the basic design of the nvidia dual slot cooler is very good I'm glad to see they have stuck to it.
Although it does look like they've done a spot of cost cutting and reduced it's size on the 470 and 480, I'd like to see what an all copper larger internal surface area cooler could do with the heat issues of the gf100.
