A Closer Look:

The GTS 450 iChill sports a custom cooling solution, which is basically the Arctic-Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo Pro cooler, which is proven to be a good product:



The top fans have white blades and the iChill inno3D logo can be found in the center:



Between the two fans, on both sides, we can find two more logo stickers:



When looking from one of the sides, we can see the heatpipe terminations from the GPU plate, but also the ones that are located in the top heatsink:



The VRM zone of the card is covered with a little black heatsink, which helps dissipate the heat better:



Near the VRM heatsink, we can find a connector which powers up both top fans:



In the opposite corner, we can find the 6-pin PCI Express connector which supplies extra power to the video card:



When looking from the other side, we can see the 4 heatpipes coming out from the GPU plate and entering the top large heatsink:



The card features only one SLI port, which limits the total number of cards that can be installed to two:



Here is a photo of the back of the PCB; here we can see the remaining memory chips, some stickers and the screws that are used to keep the top heatsink properly in place; the other holes are left from the reference design:



The memory chips are from Samsung with the K4G10325FE-HC05 code name, which support up to 1 GHz (4 GHz QDR) at 0.5ns:



In the zone near the PCI-Express power connector, we can find the two screws which are used to keep in place the little black VRM heatsink:



In the VRM zone we can also find the NCP5395 from ON Semiconductor that provides up to a four-phase buck solution which combines differential voltage sensing, differential phase current sensing, adaptive voltage positioning, and on board gate drivers:



The 4 screws that keep in place the top heatsink are provided with springs and washers, to avoid scratching the PCB surface:



The sticker on the back of the PCB shows the complete code name of the card and some codes, to help in case of a RMA process:



The card output connectors are 2xDVI Dual Link which are gold plated and one HDMI port:
