First off the nice looking Twin Frz II cooler, four thick heatpipes allow for a lot of heat dissipation. Unfortunately the cooler dumps it's residual heat inside the PC, and thus does not exhaust.
The cooling performance is really good though and the product shows normal noise levels, as we'll demonstrate later on in this review. The Twin Frozr II cooler has four thick heatpipes leading to aluminum fins which are then cooled down by two 80mm fans.
Two 6-pin PEG power connectors are required for this board. The board itself has a 7+1 Phase PWM design. Power consumption is rated at a 160W TDP for the reference design, this card however is pre-overclocked and then ready for more overclocking, as such the TDP we estimate is 200W. The location of the two connectors at the backside of the card is right, it is not a lengthy card and aesthetically seen, it is the more pleasing path to follow with the cables connected to it.
The white connectors to the left are voltage monitoring points, you connect included cables to them which you connect to a multi-meter and then you'll be able to monitor Voltages like GPU/Memory and Aux/PLL.
As you can see, the card is equipped with two dual-link DVI connectors and a mini-HDMI connector. A mini HDMI to 'normal' HDMI converter is included in the bundle.
