PowerColor LCS HD6970 Review

Up Close

Stripped of its plastic shroud the HD6970 looks much better in our opinion. There certainly are enough screws keeping the waterblock tight to the PCB.

       

As you can see there is plenty of room “left over” as the waterblock is only a single-slot deep but with the twin DVI connections it’s still a two slot card.

      

The looks and quality of the waterblock are both fantastic. Outputs are handled by the standard combination of DVI, DisplayPort and HDMI.

      

The LCS is provided with fittings for both 1/2 and 3/8 tubing. For our testing we’re using 1/2″ hose. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
