Making of GPU Post 8

Everything assembled, and scaled to the proportion of the other parts.

All that's left to do is make the dual link dvi-i output ports.

Finally got around to modelling the heatsink.
First setup the CV curves and circles so that I could create a pipe that curves around in a certain way.

After that I extruded them.Tried to give them a tapered effect.
I then created a cube and beveled the outer edges, and duplicated it 60 times with a translation on the X axis of -2.I did this twice to make the fin-stack.
I then made the cpu block which is intended to press the heatpipes securely against the processor.
Added a few small details, and got this.

I got to the point with the shielding/casing for the gpu that I can be happy with, realistically don't plan to add more detail to it because of time restraints.

Started working on the shielding/casing for the heatsink and fans, finished top layer.

Added texture to GPU itself.Still working on figuring out how to make a proper looking matte aluminum finish shader.

Making of GPU Post 4 W/ bonus DOF shot

Re-opened gpu model for a bit to add a few more vrms.

unflattering barebones stock image of the model so far.
