A Closer Look

PowerColor's heatsink uses four heatpipes and a copper base to transport the heat away quickly to a large number of fins where it can be dissipated to the surrounding air. PowerColor does not recommend this card for cases without any airflow at all, it is suggested to have at least one case fan that helps moving the air inside the case. When handling the card be careful while pressing against the fins with your fingers because they are very sharp, and never move your fingers sideways while pressing on the fins. I cut myself and didn't notice it immediately. O_o where does the blood on the keyboard come from?


As mentioned before, PowerColor's HD 5750 Green is the first HD 5750 card that does not require an external power connector.

PowerColor has chosen the expensive but efficient Volterra regulators for their graphics card. The VT1165 is used on high-end boards like the HD 5870 and HD 5970 and offers software voltage control and a large number of monitoring options. It is well supported by all overclocking software.
