A Closer Look

The GPU is cooled with a big heatsink that covers almost all the PCB surface:



On one of the laterals, we can find the AXLE logo, embossed:



There are no power connectors on the PCB ending, thanks to the very low power consumption:



The D-SUB connector can be disconnected from the cards’ PCB, if we decide to buy from a computer store (if available) a low profile bracket:



Here is also a view from the video cards’ lateral:



On the back of the pcb, we can see two of the memory chips, a sticker and the screws that keep the top heatsink fixed on the GPU:



The memory chips are made by Qimonda and have the 1DSH1G-04A1F1C-16G model number; there are a total of 4 chips on the board, each holding 128MB:



The screws that help fix the frontal heatsink have a spring on them and a protective ring to avoid scratching the PCB surface; however, on the PCB is drawn the model of a little backplate that should be there and it actually is present on the OEM version from AMD; AXLE has decided that it is not really necessary to include it:



On the bracket, we can find a D-SUB, HDMI and DVI connector:
