See all 25 pictures at the Source.Enthusiastic Nvidia fans are probably on their toes now waiting for the GF100 launch and the shipping of the the first DirectX 11 GeForce family products. Unfortunately, there's no way to speed thing up, only to easy the wait with more pictures of the upcoming cards.
Seen below is the top of the tops GeForce GTX 480 while being stripped of its cooling system for the sake of seeing how things work 'under the hood'. This operation provides a good look at the card's cooler and the front and back of the PCB housing the large, hot 40nm GF100 GPU with 480 CUDA Cores.
The GeForce GTX 480 is set to be introduced on Friday night (it's not like anyone has anything better to do apparently) and come with a recommended price tag of $499.

looks like nvidia spend quite a lot of resource on the cooling. I guess gtx 480 would be quite a hot card. man, just a few hours to go.

Wow. Those temps seem pretty high. I wonder what the memory temps will be?

Fermi is hot, but not by much. I think a lot of people are witch hunting in terms of "95C is too hot etc..."
If it is within the engineered specs I don't see why any gamer or enthusiast would be more knowledgeable about nVidia hardware life than their paid engineers.
