The card has five display connectors, you'll spot three Display Port connector, one HDMI 2.0 connector and one DVI connectors. HDMI is 2.0 compatible meaning that compatible monitors and tellys can manage Ultra HD at 60 Hz, DP is 1.2 but has support for eDP 1.4.

You can see one power header, the board will use a single 8-pin PCI-Express Graphics power connector. S
o that's 75 Watts over the PCIe bus and 150 Watts over the connector, that will be plenty for a nice overclock. A four phase power delivery is responsible for supplying the GPU power and one phase for memory. Our test sample makes use of Samsung memory.

The cooler is nice and dark, the cooling has capability up to 200W. The card doesn't even need all that, so thermals and noise levels are incredibly low and in idle the fans will not even spin up. Once you reach the 55 Degrees C threshold on the GPU, the fans will kick in.

See the logo? By using OC GURU II Utility Software you get color LED Control. So that can change to red/blue/yellow/green/white or even random.

The cooler also has LED indicators on the top side that show if cooling is active or not. Up-to roughly 55 Degrees this card remains passive, and thus the fans won't even spin making this product in-audible with your average desktop usage.
