Inno3D used the reference design PCB for their model so although that means it's quite longer than other GTX 980 models (300mm) theirs has the most complete air cooler currently in the market (because of that however the card takes up 3 slots).

There are three 80mm high-speed fans at the front of the card (each has 15 blades with airflow "channels" on them) placed right under a metal shroud (you can remove the shroud with the bundled Alen key to clean the fans).

A metal perforated backplate protects the entire rear of the PCB and also offers stability and cooling (Inno3D refers to it as the HerculeZ backplate II).

To run the iChill GeForce GTX 980 Ultra 4GB requires two 6pin PCIe power connectors.

A fourth 50mm fan is placed at the top of the card and according to Inno3D it's there to improve cooling at the top end of the card.

Inno3D uses a black silicon cover for the PCIe connector.

Moving at the front of the card we find a dual link DVI-I connector, 3 full-sized DisplayPort v1.2 connectors and a single full-sized HDMI v2.0 connector.

At the other end of the card we see the HerculeZ logo placed on the last aluminum fin.
