Cebit 2010: Four heatpipes for this one

We managed
to get a glimpse of the GTX 480 final design and we can confirm that the cooler will be different than on the one pixellized earlier. We already wrote before that Nvidia still hasn't announced the final clock speeds for the card to its partners and that cooler might change as well.

We didn't manage to get a picture of the card, as Nvidia still runs a tight policy on any really important info about Fermi, but more info might show up during these few days of Cebit. What we managed to see is that the cooler of the GTX 480 will still maintain a dual slot design but this time it will have four heatpipes sticking out of the top of the card.

As mentioned, Nvidia is still pretty silent about the precise clocks or the differences between its GTX 480 and GTX 470 models, but some partners might be a bit more talkative.
