ASUS GTX 670 DirectCU Mini

It's a very nice card. My only complaint with it is the SLI connector. I know this card will still work with other 670s, but why even bother adding it to the custom PCB if this card was designed for a ITX system? I guess you can say that the small things get to me.

I dont like direct cu cards it seems like a waist of money and space, to me its twinfrozr then watercooling,

 

meaning twinfrozr is the best aircooling and then watercooling is your next choice. imo

If it will work in SLi with a full-size 670 I can totally see the point.

 

in so many systems the PCI-E x16 slots are only a couple slots apart so two full-size cards will restrict airflow to the top card, whereas with this, you could have staggered fans with airflow to both.

 

I like that

- Silverstone TJ08B-E - Gigabyte Z87M-D3H - i7 4770k @ 4.0GHZ 1.2v - 16gb Kingston HyperX Black 1600 - Gigabyte GTX 770 OC 4GB -


- Silverstone Fortress FT02 - MSI Z77 Mpower - i5 3570k @ 4.0GHZ 1.09v - 8gb Mushkin Blackline 1600 - MSI GTX 670 PE -


- Lenovo T430 (1600x900) - i5 3210m - 8GB DDR3 1333 - nVidia NVS5400M - 256GB mSATA OS - 320GB HDD-

That's fucking brilliant!

I checked around, it looks like it should absolutely be able to work with a fullsize card in SLi so take an EVGA with a blower and put this badboy under it

Both fans would be completely unobstructed.

 

Might look a little goofy but if you don't have a window you're set.
