Key Features Twin Frozr III Thermal Design 11 C Cooler 13.9 db Quieter Power Edition Architecture P/S Switch Function Military Class II Triple Over-Voltage support by MSI Afterburner 6+2 Phase PWM Design Two fan speed profiles Via the switch on the card Top quality and stability Hi-c CAP, SFC, Solid Caps
Twin Frozr III Thermal Design Form-in-one Heat Sink Form-in-one heat sink covers the memory and power module. Nickel-plated Copper Base Large size of Copper Base can dissipate the heat of GPU faster. I 8mm I 8mm SuperPipe Technology Dual 8mm heat pipes provide faster heat dissipation. Dual 8CM PWM Fans Dual fans provide double air flow to cool down GPU/Memory/Power Module at once.
Propeller Blade fans Propeller Blade - MSI s exclusive innovation design - 20% more airflow - Cools down more components on the PCB Propeller Blade 22.5 Traditional Design 18.7 * Based on the same thermal model and rotated speed Airflow(CFM) Traditional Design Covers smaller area Propeller Blade Covers larger area
Thermal Comparison Full Loading db Example Note 60 Normal Conversation Very Noisy 50 Office, class room Noisy 40 Living Room Moderate 30 20 10 Bed Room at Night Broadcast Studio Rustling Leaves Quiet Very Quiet Almost no noise Lower is better
Power Edition Architecture 6+2 Phase Power Design -> Higher current to GPU Power -> Higher overclocking capability -> Better stability in peak load
Power Edition Architecture Triple Over-Voltage Function -> Support voltage adjustment of: GPU, memory & VDDCI -> Unleash GPU performance totally MSI Afterburner V2.1.0 supports Triple Over-Voltage function *The actual result depends on the potential of each graphics card
MSI Afterburner All must have features for overclockers! Afterburner Interface Industry leading VGA overclocking & monitor utility Co-developed by MSI & Rivatuner GPU, Memory, VDDCI voltage adjustment Support both NVIDIA & ATI graphics cards 5 customized profile settings. (2D/3D profile auto switch) Advanced Fan control. SLI & CFX Mode Support. Voltage Adjustment Advanced Fan Control 2D/3D Profile Switch Benchmark Kombustor Multi GPU supported Afterburner website: http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/
P/S Switch Function Supports two fan-speed profiles* Performance Mode provides better cooling demand Silent Mode balances noise and cooling *via switch on top of graphic card, free to select two different fan speed settings. The fan profile allows for significantly lower GPU temperature under full load. Balances noise and GPU temperatures to achieve an optimal level of sound and cooling.
Military Class II Components Tantalum Core Rare metal, incredible stable Extremely high conductivity 15x Less leakage Stabilize GPU power, better overclocking Used on space shuttles and satellites Hi-c CAP for GPU SFC (Super Ferrite Choke) 30% Higher Current Capacity 10% Power Efficiency Improvement Auto switch between efficiency and current mode based on loading Better Overclocking power stability Solid Capacitor Aluminum Core 10 years ultra long lifetime No explosion Extreme low ESR Lower temperature Higher efficiency
