Having a powerful GPU inevitably means that that power needs to be harnessed. Cooling the GK110 core down we find the card is fitted with the iChill HerculeZ x3 cooler which completely blots out the black PCB beneath. The look is very industrial with oversized Allen screws and louvered vents the order of the day here.


Typically, we find all the artistic effort goes into the area of the card we rarely see (above) however, iChill have seen fit to include a very dashing back plate that not only serves as PCB protection but also gives us some eye candy as the silver base coat is etched with a black design in the most attractive manner.


The great looks don't stop there either as from a side profile we find Inno3D have let their engineers artistic freedom. While it it will never be accused of being sleek, we appreciate the effort that has gone into making the card as symmetrical as possible despite the cooler being considerably larger than the PCB itself.


Each of the three fans measure 90mm and can be detached from the HerculeZ fan bearing for ease of cleaning. While the fans are PWM controlled, this feature can be totally disabled at the hardware end by activating the BOOST bypass jumper for the ultimate in fan speed/cooling potential.


The card is a triple slot design measuring some 67mm in girth meaning you will lose two extra PCI ports in addition to the one PCIe port the card requires. It measure 295mm in length (cooler length) and 125mm in width so will overhang a standard ATX motherboard by some 50mm.

Let's have a closer look shall we?
