CLOSER LOOK
Being an ROG product, ASUS ships the HD7970 Platinum in the ROG packaging including the flip-out front cover. The OC pedigree is strong with this one as the package includes hotwires for connecting the Matrix Platinum to the same-generation Extreme class of motherboards. Also include is a VRM-heatsink that replaces the board-wide heatsink for exotic cooling methods. The ASUS HD7970 Matrix Platinum ships with a free SteelSeries Diablo III mouse pad to sweeten the deal.
The DirectCU II cooler gets a make-over, donning a sharper looking shroud and and the ROG logo.
Removing the heatsink, we can see the components of the ASUS HD7970 Matrix Platinum something which ASUS has a lot of pride riding on it. The onboard overclocking features are well-laid out on the edge of the PCB. There is also a maximum fan button for instantly rocketing the cooler to maximum capacity for utmost cooling the DCUII cooler can offer.
