The card itself:
Like other graphic cards in recent years they are rather large and normally come with a fan of some sorts to aid in cooling the processor and memory chips. This model is no different however it does come with a large heat sink and fan which occupies over a third of the cards surface area.
The attached fan is smaller than I imagined but with the design of the heat sink and the way the air moves over the card the fan itself doesn't need to be too big.
To provide sufficient power to the card there is a power connector on the edge of the card.
It is possible to use the card without additional power connected, if you do you will receive a message during start-up detailing the card does not have sufficient power and has lowered the performance setting accordingly. So of course you should ensure that the you have a free power connector or purchase a splitter to make one available so that you can use the full performance of the card.
