Unicorn is a legendary creature and often regarded as a slender white horse with single horn on its forehead. The single unicorn distinguishes Unicorn from other horses. There are many descriptions about Unicorn. Some people said that it looks like a huge horse with single horn and is difficult to be tamed. Some people regarded Unicorn as a goat-liked but sacred animal. Moreover, some ancient tribes even worship this legendary creature. Many Scholars described Unicorn as a furious beast with billy-goat beard, a lion's tail, cloven hooves, and one black horn.

Back to the business
Let?s talk about this beautiful horn.
Calibre P860 installs a daughter card which can shows the GPU and PCB temperature while working on different situation. On the other hand, users can switch two displays (GPU& PCB) by one button. By the way, this card also offers two measurements for Centigrade and Fahrenheit. Users can do all the observation by one button on the daughter card.

To some extreme gamers, temperature observation plays an essential role in performance. It works without any software and control by hardware directly. In other words, you can observe your VGA card temperature right away while you are overclocking or doing your routine. There is no need to turn to the desktop in Windows. If one can efficiently perceive any difference on temperature, one can overclock this VGA card in a sustainable range.
