| ASUS EN9800GX2 video card review As per NVIDIA's reference design, the two PCBs which make up the GeForce 9800 GX2 are enclosed inside a massive and hefty cooler, complete with a couple of cooling fans at its tail end to push air down the board so that it is exhausted from the rear of the card. It may be bulky, but the design otherwise feels very solid and well thought-out, which is something we can expect from NVIDIA's future high-end board and cooler designs. With two GPUs on-board, needless to say power requirements for the GeForce 9800 GX2 are large. Thus, you'll need to power this board via both six-pin and eight-pin PCI Express power connectors in tandem. This board's bundle does include an adapter which converts two six-pin PCI Express power connectors into a single eight-pin connector, but either way you'll need a reasonably powerful and modern PSU for this part. http://www.elitebastards.com/cms/ind...76&Item id=27
