Just yesterday I was speaking with a colleague about some graphics cards on the test bench in the PCSTATS labs, and specifically about how large, loud, and bulky the cooling packages were. As I tried to describe these bulky contraptions with a combination of animated sounds and hand gestures, it struck me that most people really don't think of videocards as a major source of heat in the computer. But if you think about the number of transistors in a modern-day GPU, it becomes quite apparent that cutting edge videocard GPUs are often more complex than the computer processor!
