Installation
The new Silent Cell heatsink on the Gigabyte Radeon HD 5770 Silent Cell is fairly large. I had a slight problem with installing the card in some of the chassis we’ve got in our labs. The main problem was that extra little bit of heatsink that protruded out. It installed on our test station OK, but I would recommend you double check your chassis before you make the purchase.
