Inno3D GeForce GTX 960 iChill X3 Air Boss Ultra Review

The Inno3D GeForce GTX 960 iChill X3 Air Boss Ultra ships in a rather large box with much of the real estate focus given to the ‘iChill' name.

The rear of the box has overview text in various languages.

Inside a power and video converter. The retail version of this card should also ship with a mouse mat, according to the front of the box anyway.

This is a hefty beast of a card, especially compared to other GTX960's we have reviewed. The cooler is aggressively styled, and some of the shroud sections can cut your finger, if you aren't careful. The rear of the card is fitted with a backplate, which scores bonus points.

The fans can be removed with an allen key, ideal for easy access for cleaning.

The GTX960 is SLi capable, with a single connector available – shown above.

Nvidia's reference GTX960 takes power from a single 6 pin power connector. Inno3D have equipped this custom solution with two 6 pin power connectors. Normally this is to provide more power, and therefore stability under heavily overclocked situations.

We love the mean black I/O plate fitted to the card, it even ships with black covers over the connectors. The card ships with a single DVI connector, and 3x full sized DisplayPort and 1x HDMI connector.

The heatsink is very large, and heavy.


The cooler is impressive, there are thick nickel plated copper heatpipes running into two separate aluminum heatsinks on either side of the core.
