What is the outershell of a 260 GTX made of?

[NTAC]

Is that a type of plastic or is it metal?

What? What outer shell? You mean the heat sink shroud? The shroud is plastic.

I think nV actually uses baby fur-seal parts. Or bald-eagle eggs. I cant remember which.

I always thought it was unobtainium...

Seriously, it's plastic.

Ok, so if that part is touching a metal fan clip on a cooler, then in theory I should have nothing to worry about, is that correct?

 

[SHAQ]

Should be fine. The cooler should have no electricity going through it and plastic is not a ground so....

It's made of adamantium of course. Only the best from nvidia.

 

[VirtualLarry]

It's Kryptonite! Yes, the green team even beats out superman.

Wood is more likely.

no, that is the gtx 480 only. 470 is made of paper clips, rubber bands, and duct tape.

 

[Borealis7]

it is made of electrons, protons and neutrons organized into molecules. seems kinda obvious, doesn't it?

I found the GTX 580 prototype, McGyver is the new pyrotechnician over at NVIDIA (you couldn't even fry eggs on the old GTX 480 !)

Wasn't Chuck Norris newly hired to the RED TEAM ? Anyways, I stole his PC last nite, found this inside:

Chuck Norris Crossfire: Kill two computers with one NVIDIA card.
