For this overclocked version, GainWard used the same active heatsink found on the reference board, which proved itself to be more than enough to keep acceptable temperatures on the G80 core, with reduced noises thanks to the big fan. In order to differ from the reference board, Gainward applied a sticker that covers all the heatsink area.

The PCB is gree, which is the color found on the 320MB versions, differently from the black ones that are featured on the 640MB versions. The card is as big as the reference card (24cm) and there’s only one SLI connector, while on the GTX version there are 2. The power supply is done through one 6pin connector placed at the end of the PCB. The card also features 2 DVI-I connections, plus an S-Video connection.

The card, according to nVidia’s specifications, needs at least 400W and 26A, while in SLI mode, it’s recommended using power supplies that can handle 800W and are certified by nVidia. The list of SLI certified power supplies can be found on nVidia’s official website.
