The card features a self-designed PCB that features a 10-phase VRM.
This ensures that the card can deliver up to 30% more voltage and less noise is present,
enhance power efficiency by 15%, widen voltage modulation tolerance, and improve overall stability and longevity by 2.5 times over reference.



The GPU has the latest generation DirectCU II cooler. These features as previous models two fans. One is called Cool Tech fan, it combines two types of fans and thus creates more air flow that benefits the cooling capacity.









Beneath these fans is an aluminum cooling surface present with five heatpipes. Four of them have a thickness of 8 mm.













The central heat pipe is 10 mm.





Power Connector: 6 pin / 8 pin



Ports:
  • HDMI 1 x

And a nice aluminum backplate is also present,





And some more nice pictures of both







Was a bit worried they would'nt fit because of the dimensions (28.7 x 14.73 x 4.06 cm)
But no problem







So now we wait for the great waterblocks from EKWB, but they will be released soon
Until then ..... Game on
