Inside Chaintech's colorful warrior clad package as you saw at the beginning of this review, we found a nice assortment of accessories and software.  Accessory wise you get a DVI to VGA adapter, S-Video Cable (150cm) and a SV to HDTV Cable.  The software bundle includes a copy of WinDVD 5, WinDVD Creator 2, WinRip 2.1, Adobe Photoshop Album, Home Theater 2.1 Lite, DVD Copy 2 Lite, Chaintech’s Game Pack (demo versions of Age of Wonders2, Serious Sam2, Rally Trophy, Max Payne and Tropico) as well as the full version of Painkiller.  All in all, a very nice bundle.

The Card

Chaintech decided to build their 6600 GT onto some blue PCB with a clear Plexiglas cooler shroud covering the aluminum base and convections fins of the cooler assembly.  The card is of traditional size and clearly not reminiscent of the super long cards of the older GeForce 5950 series which is a relief to many, myself included.  With the card having 128mb of onboard memory, there is no need for cooling nonexistent memory chips on the back of the card that aren’t there.

As you can see below, the Chaintech GeForce 6600 GT sports a standard VGA connector as well as a DVI and S-Video connection.  Latitude for users to interface with most any display device.  On the opposite end is a four pin Molex connector required for the GT because of its needing more power than the AGP slot can deliver.

The cooling assembly shown below, covers both the GPU and the memory.  A clean flush base was discovered that while not anything special was more than adequate.  From the look of all the excess white thermal paste below, I’d say Graham found a second job.
