Gainward stands apart from the crowd with its unique Phantom line of VGA coolers, which features discrete fans that pull air into the aluminum fin-stack, rather that pushing air through it, resulting in a groovy board design. The company is close to unveiling its GeForce GTX 780 Phantom graphics card, and made a presentation about it. Pictured below, is a screen-grab from the presentation, which reveals an updated design for the cooler.
Cleaning up the discrete fans is now easier than ever, by simply turning out thumb-screws that hold each fan in place, and sliding them out. The cooler uses a slightly thicker aluminum fin-stack, arranged along the height of the card, to which heat is conveyed by five 8 mm-thick heat pipes. A base-plate draws heat from the memory, while a proper ridged metal heatsink draws it from the VRM. Speaking of which, the card uses an 8-phase VRM, with solid-chokes and DrMOS (driver-MOSETs, combine up/down FETs and driver IC into a single package). The card draws power from a pair of 8-pin PCIe power connectors.
