welcome to my unboxing and first look at the MSI Radeon 7770 power Edition this
is featuring triple over voltage which means you can overvolt 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 Q 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
Infinity support hd3d support HDMI 1.4a
support DOL be true HD and dgs HD Master AIO support all that good stuff 1 gig of
memory it is a PCIe 3.0 card manufactured on the 28 nmet process
technology which means it is extremely power power power efficient and performs
well and it comes with dual Molex to PCI
E6 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 what else does it have it's got a DVI VGA adapter
some documentation and a disc that you shouldn't use you should download the
latest from the AMD website in terms of
drivers and from the MSI webs in terms of utilities like MSI After Burner which
is an awesome overclocking utility speaking of overclocking so let's open
this card up and have a look at what is unique about the 7770 power Edition so
all right you got your DVI you got your
HDMI if it opens okay you got your
DisplayPort so all that's pretty typical you got your MSI logo which is
typical as long as the card's made by MSI if the card was made by someone else
and it had an MSI logo that would look a 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 opposed to the 7900 series which supports multi-way
Crossfire configurations PCIe 3.01 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 got a center fan which is blowing the
air towards the fins and cooling the GPU which on side
bam dual fan cooling solution so you
take this little pin what a wire thing
right here you plug it into these pins right there and then you kind of you
know manage the cable 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 hold on so so you can see the uh the heat sink covers the
entire card so you can experience up to you know 5 de better temperatures by
going with this solution now check this out if you oh right 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 there Just Clips right here just
slide it back and forth in fact you could 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 um like a double cheeseburger video
card just by slapping that on there which gives you more pressure but not
necessarily a ton more air flow but definitely more static pressure which is
good for pushing air through radiator fins or heat sink fins and uh but turns
it into a triple slot card so there you go that's pretty much it that is the
three different ways you can conf figure the Radeon 7770 power Edition in terms
of cooling don't forget to subscribe to L Tech tips for more unboxings reviews
