The first thing that hit us was the size of the card. Not only is it quite lengthy but it is also a triple slot design meaning it will take up its own PCIe port and two others below this. It is also quite a weighty beast thanks to the huge heatsink.


It not only looks great from the fan side but also from the side you will likely see in your PC case. The card comes with a very swish gun metal grey backplate. While the backplate design would look fine on a benchtable, the words are actually upside down when viewed from a standard ATX case design. Still, it is a gorgeous design - who cares if you can read what's on it when it looks this good?


This card didn't just eat all the pies, it ate the whole shop by the looks of things. The design is however very neat and tidy with only a small cable visible at the end of the heatsink which is excellent considering there are three fan cables to hide.


The I/O area features the usuall quartet of DVI-D, DVI-I, HDMAI 1.4a and DisplayPort outputs. There is also a vent area although this serves little practical purpose other than case venting as the GPU is an 'in-case' circulatory cooling design meaning hot dispelled air is exhausted into the case environment rather than expelling it directly out of the back of the case.


This graphics card, like other GTX760s is multi-SLI capable.


Surprisingly, it also only requires the reference design twin 6 pin PCIe power ports. We couldn't find any specific power requirements for this card other than on the included 'PSU guidelines' which quotes a 500W PSU will be required to power this graphics card.


Overall we loved the design of the iChill cooler. Yes it is big but it certainly is not brash. It is very aesthetically pleasing and while it does have an upper class feel to it, it somehow retain an industrial theme thanks to the Allen screws. It just screams 'performance' from whichever angle you look at it.

Let's have a look under the heatsink shall we?
