Nvidia Pokes Fun at Themselves

Nvidia really made fun of their FlowFX cooling system on the GeForce FX 5800 Ultra. In the end of the video it says "NVIDIA offers a special thanks to our enthusiasts for their creative ideas."

Wow, am I behind the times ;). Last month at this time I was up at Cleveland for an Intel event at the Cleveland Convention Center.

Sorry about the double-post.

Jagojago12, is that a picture of you in your avatar? (I've always wondered that.);)

Yep, that's me last year at the Galt House at Louisville, KY. They handed out free bats at the Intel ISEF, so I made my best Max Payne impression :).

Do those look like breadsticks? :p

Oh yeah, to keep this on topic, I hear the NV30's FlowFX was incorrectly engineered. I forgot the details but it had to do with how the fan wasn't mounted right so it caused more noise than necessary, or something like that.
