A Closer Look at the EVGA GTX 460 1GB SC EE A Closer Look at the EVGA GTX 460 1GB SC EE EVGA’s new GTX 460 External Exhaust series of cards look nothing like their reference brethren but maintain the standard NVIDIA PCB and 8.25” length. The effect is a more standard-looking design that compares well from a design perspective with past cards.   Naturally, it is the heatsink design that distinguishes this card from many other GTX 460s out there as it features a 62mm blower-style fan not normally found on this series. According to EVGA, this is supposed to decrease case temperatures versus the reference design which tends to exhaust hot air directly into the closed confines of your chosen enclosure.   EVGA did a good job with the branding on this card as their logos are apparent yet tastefully placed..and end up being right side up when it is installed in a typical ATX case. In addition, even though the Superclocked edition has vastly superior clock speeds when compared to a stock card, it still maintains the usual dual 6-pin PCI-E connector setup.   From the rear of the PCB as well as the backplate, we can see that EVGA has done nothing to change the basic design of the GTX 460 1GB beyond adding the custom heatsink and increasing clock speeds. As usual, the backplate holds a single mini HDMI connector as well as a pair of dual link DVI connectors. | ||||
