ASUS ROG Matrix 5870

Courtesy of HardOCP:

Here you can see the colored Matrix LED in action. When it is greener in color there is a light load, as it turns darker from blue to purple to more reddish that shows the load is increasing. The light doesn’t just change to these colors, there is a gradual blend and ramp of the colors, and they all smoothly blend from green to red and back again. This action is real-time and happens on the fly while you are gaming so it is quite fun to watch the video card as you are gaming to see the load on the video card.

Really Bumpeez? Wonder why... mine is a nvidia reference board dated feb 10... wonder if the 'awesome glowy logo' feature was axed at retail.
 
I do have a pre-retail card. My card dosn't have visible heat pipes. But, when I took off the heatsink shroud there are heatpipes underneath it. It also dosn't have the upper heatsink plate. The shroud looks similar to my GTX285 & 260 with the exception that there is a small green window in which you can see the heatsink. It also has the glowing nvidia logo. I'll try to post pics tonight when I get home.

Please do, and if you can take the heatsink apart again it would be much appreciated.

I'd like to see what decisions nvidia took in the process.
 
Here are the pics as promised. I thought that I might as well replace the TIM to some Shin-Etsu MicroSI while I was at it.



How the heatsink shroud looks.



Opened up...



Heatpipes from above...



Plug for the led logo...



How the led looks on the backside...



Check out that factory applied TIM...



More of the same...



Nice and clean...



Applied...

Well... after all that the temps from min 45c max 75c to min 39c to max 72c. Hopefully it will drop some more as the TIM cures...
