At first I assumed this was huge because it was passive, but I’m pretty sure I see wires for a fan in there too. What on earth puts out that much heat? Are high-end graphics cards really getting that hot now?

Neither….it’s a pocket pussy for a super geek.

Shit, you can cold-out Megatron with that thing

looks kinda like water cooling, that’s the only reason those copper pipes would be there

Actually, I believe those are heat pipes. A lot of the newer heat sinks are using them to take heat away from the processor faster.

lol@synfyre
those are very clearly heat pipes, water cooling systems don’t have giant fans and heatsinks in the case, that’s sort of the point.

It’s actually a CPU cooler from Zalman. I know this because I have one. Is nice!

I always use Zalman coolers, but it looks like here they’ve put the 9500LED Zalman for CPUs onto this graphics card. This is an air fan – you wont see fins on a water cooling system until you get to the radiator.
The hottest gfx card out there atm iirc is the X1900XT – fan isnt on full until the card hits 100ºC (212F), and cuts out at 120ºC.

I had to build a new comp at work to run the router (not a network router, an actual table router). This was the CPU heatsink I chose, simply cause it was cheap. I found out later that it actually has a nice blue LED, which made me want to stealz it
