The chipside of the card is mostly covered under a large heatsink. Being passively cooled it is a great choice for HTPC and silent computer systems. You’ll notice a two pin fan header underneath the heatsink in the lower left corner next to PCI-Express connector. This makes it possible to use a fan with the card if need be, however the fan isn’t provided with the card and needs to be custom attached to the heatsink.

A closer look at the heatsink shows us nothing new. The heatsink has 32 fins in it and is made from aluminum. Also it seems that the heatsink will block the first expansion slot below it as seen in the picture.

The heatsink is mounted firmly using four screws on the back of the PCB. The card has a single VGA, HDMI and DVI connectors.
