NVIDIA graphics partner GALAXY Microsystems is in preparation of a new custom designed GeForce GTX 285 video card with 2 GB of onboard GDDR3 (0.8ns) memory. The tricked out card will feature Arctic Cooling's Accelero EXTREME triple fan heatsink and stock clock speeds that can be changed at any time - 648 MHz core/ 1476 MHz shader/ 2484 MHz memory. The card comes with a digital PWM design whereas the reference design comes with 6 phase analog power. Two BIOS chips are also presented on the blue PCB of the card. It is also compatible with GALAXY's Xtreme Tuner Utility software, that allows users to manipulate things like BIOS recovery, fan speed, and clock settings.

Because no one else has ever used this design before, or the TRUE design for cpu coolers.
If it works, it works, who cares about the design.

Arctic Cooling have been using this design with full cover coolers for years, long before that Asus card appeared.

You wouldn't need water with the cooler it has. The 9800GTX ones kept my 65nm 9800GTX's at 25-30 idle
