"The ASUS GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost DirectCU II OC comes equipped with a factory base clock of 1020MHz, a 50MHz increase over stock and a boost clock of 1085MHz, a 52MHz increase over the stock boost clock and features ASUS’ DirectCU II cooling system. It is configured with 2GB of GDDR5 memory running at a 6.0GHz effective rate. The cooling system is comprised of two heat pipes that carry heat away from the GPU to an extruded aluminum heatsink that is cooled by a pair of fans. ASUS has implemented its Super Alloy Power solution that utilizes choke concrete cores that claims to reduce power noise by 30% and increase durability by 2.5x. This is the second of two GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost based cards produced by ASUS, with the other card being a stock clocked version.
It is worthwhile to point out that there are variations across ASUS’ product lines as to which DirectCU II cooler will be attached to a particular card. In the case of the ASUS GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost DirectCU II OC, it is a 2 slot cooling solution that is smaller and not comparable to the solution found on the DirectCU II flavors of ASUS’s Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition, GeForce GTX 660, 660Ti and 670. Still, there is a larger and more impressive version of the DirectCU II is found on ASUS’s Radeon HD 7970 and GeForce GTX 680 series cards."
