EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SuperClocked Video Card Review
The EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SuperClocked (Cont’d)

In Figure 6, you can see the video card with its cooler removed. We were impressed by how short the printed circuit board is, at 6.7” (170 mm). The video card, however, is a little longer, at 9.5” (240 mm) because of the fan.
It uses a voltage regulator with four phases for the GPU and one phase for the memory chips. The voltage regulator circuit uses a digital design and is controlled by an NCP5395G chip. All coils use ferrite cores and all capacitors are solid.
