The Dutch fellows at Club 3D have gotten their hands dirty to deliver a custom 8800GT card. It features a custom cooler and a redesigned printed circuit board that has four phases dedicated to supply the GPU and one for the memory chips.
For the GPU, it is double of what the stock card comes with and one phase more than the design from Palit.
Advantages are that the sometimes irritating electrical noise from the voltage regulation circuitry should be non-existent now, while it throws away the extra cooling for the mosfets, they don't heat up as much now.
The speeds are the stock ones and the card comes with the regular 512MBs of GDDR3 memory.
Overclocking ultimately comes down to luck with the chips but at least this card won't be hindered by the PWM circuitry, on the other hand, it will be further enhanced.
The standard 8800GT already produces some considerable electrical noise while in heavy load, but I've seen worse, plenty of times. This is also a sign that this particular component is at some stress, fact further evidenced by the G92 based 8800GTS which features one more phase than the stock 8800GT.
Pricing will hover around 250eur.
