Now for some updates, here's a GT240 which will run PhysX in games where PhysX is present:



Tiny, low power, not really hot (33ºC-ish) and enough for some PhysX action, here's EVGA's GT240 also in 40nm:



The EK waterblock for the GT240's companion, the GTX295 replacement, a huge HD5970:



Ready to assemble...



Puff, all done :nutkick:



Some detail here:



Volterra voltage controllers:



Back side, still going to suffer a simple modification to make it more pleasant to the eye:



And the final assembly. Around 30º idling and 42º while gaming, real good!



Two pictures of the physical desktop here...





Now here's something that has been in the works for long but never had a chance to surface before...



A customized HD5970 cover (Back then it was meant to be for the GTX295):



Full view, the part is made out of 17 smaller pieces:



And already assembled here:



Thanks for looking!
