The GeForce GTX 670 has a maximum power consumption of 170 Watts (give or take a little), you'll need to power the card with two 6-pin PCIe PEG lead from your power supply. Due to the small PCB the connectors look a little oddly placed, but that is because the cooler is longer than the actual PCB. The card will have a Digital VRM circuitry (DIGI+). The GPU gets 6 power phases assigned and the memory another 2 separate phases.
Power supply wise we recommend a 550 power supply to start with, with one card of course.
The GeForce GTX 670 PCB measures 27cm / 11" in length with the cooler. Display outputs include two dual-link DVIs, one HDMI and one DisplayPort connector. The top part has been kept open for ventilation so that the card can exhaust hot air, the cooler design however will vent air into the chassis. ASUS also applied a backside plate covering the PCB. it makes the card very sturdy.
Once the ambient air has been used to cool the GPU, the hot air will be blown only partially outside the PC through the exhaust as you can see above the monitor connectors. However most of the heat will be blown into the chassis itself as the cooling casing is open at close to the PCB and rear side. Make sure you have proper ventilation inside the PC chassis... always.
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.

ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II TOP review
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.
