The HellHound features a triple-fan cooler set within a 3-slot design and is powered by dual 8-pin PCIe connectors. For connectivity, it offers 3x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs and 1x HDMI 2.1 output. Leveraging AMD's Radiance Display engine, which supports DisplayPort 2.1, the card can achieve frame rates up to 480Hz in 4K and 165Hz in 8K. While not every user might utilize this high frame rate capability, AMD's decision to include the display connector provides a clear contrast to Nvidia's omission in their RTX 4000 series.

From a hardware perspective, the graphics card requires a dual 8-pin power connector. It also features a triple -fan cooler within a 3-slot design. The card offers ample connectivity with three DisplayPort 2.1 outputs and one HDMI 2.1 port and supports high refresh rates at high resolutions with AMD's Radiance Display engine.Thermal regulation is managed by an adaptive fan system that modulates RPMs based on GPU junction and memory temperature, maintaining a base speed of 1600 RPM and ramping up as needed. It can also slow down or halt completely to maintain optimal temperatures. The card requires dual 8-pin power connectors.

When max temperatures are attained, the fan RPM will incrementally increase to sustain the set temperature. If the GPU's temperature stays considerably below the target, the RPM might descend. The fan will cease operation when the GPU's temperature is below all predefined fan stop temperatures, resuming only when the GPU surpasses any of the set fan start temperatures.
