Unboxing Video & Image Gallery

The box that I received for this card is the longest one that I have ever seen. After taking out the card, I can fully understand why the box is so big. The card weighs a lot with its massive cooler. To prevent any damage to the video card during shipping, the video card is surrounded by a lot of foam in the box. This triple fan cooler is so large that the card will occupy three slots in your case. It will be impossible to use this card in SLI on some motherboards if the PCI Express slots are only one expansion slot apart.

Another interesting fact that you will notice about the cooler is that it is actually longer than the card’s PCB which makes the overall length of the GTX 275 longer. Make sure that you have enough space in your case before buying this video card. The cooler is made by Arctic Cooling and is called the Accelero Xtreme GTX. The product page for this cooler can be found here.

The reference GTX 275 from Nvidia uses a pair of two 6-pin power connectors, but this overclocked model uses one 8-pin connector and one 6-pin connector. Like the GTX 285 and the GTX 260, this video card supports three-way SLI. Output options on the card are dual-link DVI, HDMI and HDTV output with the included dongle.

Here are few images to wet your appetite before we show you the unboxing video:

Taking the cooler off of your video card may void your warranty. Doing it improperly could also damage your video card. Be careful while doing the procedure shown below and do it at your own risk. You have been warned!

With the disclaimer out of the way, we can show you how to take the cooler off of the card and show you what is underneath. But first the images and then the video.
