SLI
TM
(Scalable Link Interface) technology works:
In an SLI configuration, two SLI-ready graphics cards of the same model and the same
manufacturers are connected together via SLI bridge connector in a system that provides
two x 16 PCI Express slots to scale graphics performance. The picture below
shows that two graphics cards are linked in parallel in an SLI configuration.
Precautions:
For more information about the hardware configuration of an SLI system, please refer to
motherboard user manual.
The GV-NX66T256DP-RH and GV-NX66T128DE are powered by GIGABYTE’s Silent
Pipe II technology, which provides the following features:
•
Proprietary front-flow thermal module
•
High-precision die-casting forming design
•
Natural convection design
•
SLI and soundless optimization
•
High performance heatpipe with sintered
powder wicks
•
Design for heavy 3D performance loading
•
Integrated architecture design

Hot Air
The Silent-Pipe II technology features the silent heatpipe design. The Silent-Pipe II technology
artfully uses the temperature difference between the inside and outside of chassis and
spreads out the surplus heat efficiently, creating natural system convection. When using
Silent Pipe II graphics cards to set up an SLI configuration, please do close your system
chassis in order to achieve optimal thermal performance.
