This unboxing and first look focuses on the MSI Radeon HD 7770 Power Edition, highlighting how the card is designed for overclocking with triple over voltage capabilities. Linus Tech Tips walks through the card’s key specifications, noting features such as one gigabyte of memory, PCIe 3.0 compatibility, 28-nanometer manufacturing, and support for Crossfire, HDMI 1.4a, and three other display protocols. A standout aspect is the innovative cooling system: a dual fan arrangement that can be configured in multiple ways, including a triple-slot setup, which is shown in detail as the presenter demonstrates how to reposition the fan and reorient the heatsink. The video emphasizes the flexible cooling options, including the center fan blowing toward the fins and the ability to convert the card from a dual-slot to a triple-slot configuration, potentially increasing static pressure for radiator cooling. The unboxing also covers accessories like the DVI, VGA adapters, a Crossfire bridge, and the MSI After Burner software for overclocking, while cautioning to use the latest drivers from AMD and MSI.
