The CPU is also cooled by one of those Zalman 6inch diametered copper finned coolers.  The graphics card needs two power connectors and it is so hot they are almost difficult to touch.  I was really surprised at the heat generated and it led me to fitting an additional fan.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
