Now the cooler is actually a good chunk longer then the actual PCB, then again it is dual-slot and dual-fan. The cooling solution overall is incredibly silent and the performance is great as well, the DirectCU II series of cooling has done ASUS justice alright. This model has three thick heatpipes merging into the cooling block and touching the GPU, hence the Direct CU (copper) branding.

You can see two power connectors, thes eare both 6-pin and each of them is feeding 75 Watt into the graphics card. Alongside the PCIe slot which also delivers 75 Watt that's a 225 Watt board power.

We mentioned this on the previous page already, but ASUS gives the card two DVI connectors (dual-link), one HDMI and a DisplayPort connector (full size). This seems to be the trend for all AIC/AIB partners.

The GeForce GTX 660 has a maximum power consumption of 140 Watts, the typical power raw will actually be a good notch lower. You'll need to power the card with only one 6-pin PCIe PEG lead from your power supply.

The GeForce GTX 660 Ti has a maximum power consumption of roughly 150 Watts, the typical power draw will actually be a lower.

You'll need to power the card with two 6-pin PCIe PEG lead from your power supply. The connectors look a little oddly placed, but that is because the cooler is longer than the actual PCB. Power supply wise we recommend a 500~550 power supply to start with. With one card that is. You have to admit, that is a great looking card .

ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU Mini review
In this article we review the ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU Mini edition, a compact performance graphics card designed primarily for small form factor PCs with mini ITX motherboards. The dual-slot card measures just 17cm and features the NVIDIA GTX 670 GPU. ASUS has re-engineered the DirectCU cooler to fit small form factor cases. While shorter, it introduces a copper vapor chamber placed directly on top of the GPU for faster heat spreading and dispersal with 20% lower temperatures than reference GTX 670.

We review the ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II TOP edition. The DirectCU II TOP editions come factory overclocked pretty intensely towards 1058 MHz on the GPU base clock and a whopping 1137 MHz on the boost frequency. Even with that factory overclock, the card remains completely silent. Check out this review.
