KFA2 GeForce GTX 470 EX OC

A Closer Look
On a first look of the card, its design is a little different to the more commonly seen black plastic cover with a sticker or two placed on the top.

This card features a light grey cover that is moulded to give a more ‘industrial’ look and rather than having a huge sticker placed over the top, there is only one small sticker which is only there to add to the design.

All the branding and other writing is printed straight onto the cover itself. In comparison to a reference card, this has as mentioned a better heatpipe cooler design and its slightly smaller in length as well.

The back of the card which in most setups will be facing up, is a nice deep aqua colour. This compliments the blue led fan on the other side and would not look out of place in a case with a blue coloured theme to it.

One of the unique features of KFA’s card is that the fan can be unclipped and moved out from its housing in order to keep it nice and clean.

There are two clips on the outside edge that you squeeze together and the fan housing is then hinged on the inner edge.

The GTX 470 comes with two SLI connections allowing for a 2, 3 or 4 way SLI setup.

On the end of the card, there are 2 6-pin PCI-E power connections. On the top of the card (just out of shot) there is some text to remind us that a minimum of a 550W PSU is required.

As is standard with most NVidia cards of today, there are two DVI connections and also one Mini-HDMI port that also includes 7.1 audio throughput for your speakers. These are all lined up for the first of the two expansion ports and the second slot is taken up by the grill through which heat is expelled from the card.
