Angular Velocity Fan Blade
The Angular Velocity Fan Blade provides a double layer of downward air pressure which alongside the air pressure on the outer ring of the Axial fan, results in up to 44% more downward air pressure and up to 19% more airflow for a quieter and cooler operation when compared to the previous generations.
Fuse Protection
In order to protect your card, the SAPPHIRE cards have fuse protection built into the circuit of the external PCI-E power connector to keep the components safe.
Metal Back-plate with thermal pad
The high quality aluminum back-plate is not just for styling, it also protects the components on the back side of the PCB and help dissipate the heat from the PCB with high performance thermal pad in between.
