5. Professional Cooling System
92mm Ultra huge fan design provides 60% more air flow than a
normal 80mm fan, efficiently dissipated heat from pipe structure fin
2pcs S-shape heat pipe design provides the same cooling
effect as 4pcs U-shape heat pipes, efficiently cooling down
the temp. through enlarging the cooling surface and taking
away the heat efficiently.
Heat Pipe Direct Touch Technology enables heat pipes fully
cover GPU, efficiently carrying away excessive heat, delivering
10% better cooling performance than traditional heat pipe
solution.

“This makes the PowerColor Radeon HD 7870 PCS + the quietest card
with active cooling fan, which we have ever tested.”
Gamestar, Germany
“After today's performance offered, the PowerColor Radeon HD 7870
PCS + hold must be said that the 3D performance almost reached the
level of a GeForce GTX 580 is. It also provides an excellent result in the
noise - at least in idle mode. Here we are dealing with a cooler that can
shine with approximately 13 dB (A).”
