Heatsink
The Heatsink is made up of three sections. The top section is the fan shroud which holds the fans. These hover over the aluminium finned heatsink array which is welded to 3 copper heatpipes on top of which there is a solid copper base plate.
Baseplate
The heatpipes are soldered to a baseplate rather than having direct contact. The baseplate is full copper though which should ensure very good heat transfer. The contact between the core and baseplate was very good with an adequate amount of thermal interface material (paste) being used.
Naked GTX660Ti
The PCB looks odd due to its length and perhaps more so because the twin power ports are at opposite ends to the VRM. The core, like other Kepler models, is exposed and it is partially framed by 6x256MB memory modules with a further 2x256MB to be found on the rear of the PCB.
Voltage Regulation Module
The voltage regulation is a 4+2 affair. Each of the four GPU chokes are matched with 3 MOSFETs with the two memory inductors having a MOSFET each.
Memory
The each of the memory modules hail from HYNIX with the product code of H5GQ2H24AFR R0C which is rated to 6.0Gbps at 1.5v.
Core
Finally we see the core of the ZOTAC GTX660Ti. Mirroring the GTX670's GK104 core, we can expect great performance from the sliver of silicon so without further ado it's time to put the graphics card to the test...
