welcome to my unboxing and first look at the msi radeon 7770 power Edition this is featuring triple over voltage which means you can overbill pretty much any aspect of the video card that you could possibly want to which as you guys may or may not have figured out at this point is better for overclocking more voltage means more clock speed as long as you have the cooling to back it up and this particular SKU gives you a lot of different options in terms of the cooling so first let's go with you know what it has so it's an AMD Radeon 7770 so you got you know your power play your power tune your crossfire support your Eyefinity support HD 3d support HDMI 1.4 ASA for Dolby true HD and DTS HD master audio is but all of that good stuff 1 Giga memory it is a pcie 3.0 card manufactured on the 28 nanometer process technology which means it is extremely power to power 10 power efficient and performs well and it comes with a dual molex to PCI u 6 pin adapter it comes with a fan that's a strange inclusion it comes with a propeller blade fan this looks an awful lot like a VGA fan but the confusing thing about that is that the video card has a fan on it now it's got a DVI to VGA adapter some documentation and a disc that you shouldn't use you should download the latest from in terms of drivers and from the msi website in terms of utilities like msi afterburner which is an awesome overclocking utility speaking of overclocking what about the 7770 power additions so all right you got your DVI you got the HDMI ya opens okay you got your DisplayPort so all that's pretty typical you got your MSI logo which is typical as long as the cards made by MSI if the card was made by someone else and having them aside local that would look a little weird okay you got your PCIe 6 pin power connector you got your crossfire fingers right there so you can connect your crossfire bridge this card only supports two-way crossfire it is a mid-range card as a - the 7900 series which supports multi-way crossfire configurations pcie 3.0 16x which is pretty much what we're used to seeing now let's get to the meat and potatoes of this particular unboxing so you can see we've got our nice aluminum fin cooling solution going on here we've got a center fan which is blowing the air towards the fins and cooling the GPU each other sidewall bow duel fan cooling solution so you take this little pin but a wire thing right here you plug it into these pins right there and then you can you know manage the cables somehow it comes with screws so you can fix it more permanently and there you go you now have a dual fan cooled card but wait there's more hold on so you can see the the heatsink covers the entire card so you can experience up to you know five degrees better temperatures by going with this solution now check this out if you over it I guess I can leave this on if you don't mind turning it from a dual slot card see two slots into a triple slot card you can also do this so this is just clips right here just slide it back and forth in fact you can even position the fan here if you wanted or here it's totally up to you so if you put it back in the normal position you can actually build yourself like like a double cheeseburger video card just by slapping that on there which gives you more pressure but not necessarily a ton more airflow but definitely more static pressure which is good for pushing air through radiator fins or heatsink mins and but turns it into a triple slaw card so there you go that's pretty much it that is the three different ways you can configure the radio I'm 7770 power edition in terms of cooling don't forget to subscribe - tech tips from on boxing's reviews and other computer videos look kind of like a car it's like
