Sapphire ATI Radeon 5450 HD 512MB

Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6

Here we see the type of connections that the 5450 has. Of course since this is a
HTPC video card that it comes with the DVI and HDMI ports, It also comes with a
VGA connector that is connected by a ribbon cable to the main board. You can
remove this port and use one of the LP Brackets to change or make the card size
factor to something smaller.

The 5450’s cooling system is passive, The card doesn’t come with a fan on the
heat sink for the purpose of cutting out the fan noise. Since this isn’t a
gaming card the passive system works great for this card and will make your HTPC
super quiet.

Like I said earlier the VGA port can be disconnected from the main board to
change up the configuration of size.

The passive cooling heat sink also wraps around the back side of the video card
to cool the ram. This system is more then enough to keep this card cool.
