I'll give it to Nvidia, their FE models have been getting really good. Will be interesting to see how the output ports fit with the main PCB through the actual cooler.

For some reason, when it was mentioned that it's using 3 pcbs, I thought of fractal cards. The motherboard connects to the i/o card, the i/o card connects to the GPU card, the GPU card connects to the memory card...

Not likely, but I kind of like the idea.

I suspect the display outputs aren’t on the board so they can use this PCB in other server/AI SKUs and save money.

You add an grace based arm cpu on the die with a few extra mm2, add some more ram on the other side of the pcb, a PSU under, a cooling system above and boom, you have the ultimate PC Mini, screwing any 20kg desktop tower in the world.

This design looks like it will not play nice with water blocks. Could be the first Nvidia generation where water cooling users are better off going with something besides the FE model.

Nvidia did say that it has plans for the consumer PC CPU side with mediatek. What you said could very well happen in the near future.

And I can picture them asking 3k for the Nvidia mini PC, which has a 5080 in it !

Indeed.
Several of the usual suspects have already announced both AIO-cooled cards & waterblock-already-fitted cards for custom loops.
