AMD Radeon R9 NANO review -

Product Showcase
The Fiji XT GPU based Radeon R9 NANO has a terrific TDP set at, give or take, 175 Watts. You power it by using one 8-pin PCI-Express graphics card header. Combined with your PCI-Express slot that allows for 225 Watts, handy for a wee bit of tweaking I'd say.
If we zoom in a little, up top you will see a micro DIP switch; the card has two BIOSes, both equal. One simply functions as a fail-safe should you mess up a firmware flash. So there's no 'uber' performance mode like some previous Hawaii based models had.
The backside of the card lacks a protective backplate, for a card in this price-range that feels a bit off. Considering the PCB is 15cm x 10cm things looks pretty mellow design wise. A bit crowded with SMT components maybe, but heck... again not bad for a small form factor product.
The NANO comes with an air based cooling solution, it's all good really. The radiator/fan cooler is roughly 3.5cm thick. The card has a temperature target of roughly 75 Degrees C. Up-to that point it remains very silent, but if your chassis is improperly ventilated, the fan will obviously spin up much harder to compensate. Airflow will be a pertinent and important thing for the NANO.
