Computer parts guessing game

Lol I had posted one, then I realized it had the name still in the link...

so here is a new photo.

I think that it's going to be fairly obscure... I will keep searching!

OK guys, we need to think about this. It's PCI, and it's NOT got any ports. That limits what it COULD be...

It's going to generate some heat, because of the Heatsync mountings that we can see. It's quite difficult without seeing the other side, though...

I can roughly make out "Vendor GCE" - I dont know if that a generic term though.

There are two holes towards the top - What might they be there for?

It has been listed on alibaba.com.
 
Ok. I'm gonna give a big hint here.

It's an nVidia mobile/laptop graphics card. I just don't know which one it is.

I say nVidia because the ATI's are red.

Good luck!

:D
 
Well lets see....

Its clearly a high end RAID controller, It's PCI express X8, six internal ports, one external. Full profile, and it has those unique heatsinks, identifying it as an adaptec.


Is it an adaptec 51245?
 
^ Nah...either he's misinformed or this is an older discontinued model. Out of their current line, the 52445 is the only one with that design. The 51245 and 51645 share the PCB, but don't have as many ports.

For reference, this is a 52445-
