Today we look at a rather unique take on an alternate cooling option for the GTX580 from PNY.

It does get warm, but not beyond any recomended levels. The card fan does stay on a lower speed because the GPU core is so cool.
nice card - nice benches
but.....
some people are going to have a nightmare with this card
those who:
- had a large cpu cooler (D14, etc) in the case (especially when in a mid-tower)
- have another sealed-WC solution in their case
i have also noticed SLI - two, or more, of these in SLI !!! Hmmm? not going to work !!!
If its taken to well, will have to see how many others come to the market. It would be interesting to see a review of the one including CPU cooler. All in one solution?
There have been loads of cards like this in the past. BFG used to do a few.
And none of them were a success, because they're aggro to fit and real water cooling is better.
It's kinda like the Corsair H50. Can't really do anything more than a decent air cooler can do.
So yeah, it keeps a 580 cool. But then the 580 isn't really a hot potato to begin with.
So it's a bit gimmicky.
You could have one of these and a regular one.
