HD6850 Fan 1 GB

The connections are different from the stock card, as this time there's again the single DVI-D and DVI-I connectors, as well as a HDMI 1.4 connector, but now beside these there's a single normal Display Port, rather than the dual mini-DPs we've seen on other HD68-series cards.

The HIS HD6850 Fan uses a modified PCB and also the cooler differs from the reference design. Instead of the usual radial fan, heatspreader and a shroud there's just a circular cooler on the GPU that blows air over the memory chips and a separate VRM heat sink. There are two beefy heatpipes on the cooler and overall the cooler looks higher performance than the reference one. The only downside with this design is that the hot air doesn't get blown outside the case.
