single eight and power connector it's kind of different usually the power couplings on this are different than this design once again just shows Asus going out of their way to make it different here we see the direct Cu mini now let's flip it around to the back I'll change the angle a little bit first here here go the two SLI fingers so you can see this card can be used in a quad SLI configuration I'll flip it over here you guys can see the direct power something new there and then last but not least let's take a look at the rear i/o if the camera does zoom in there so you guys

to build a system interesting to take around I think I'm gonna use the BitFenix that's right there prodigy case I think this would be perfect for that build we're looking for something to build with the steam project maybe it'll go into that but this car is really good for people want a really small build with all the power that losing anything so land boxes those kind of things people are going
