Description

 

With every new generation of GPUs comes more performance. With every new generation of MSI TWIN FROZR we give you less noise and heat!

  • TWIN FROZR V Thermal Design – 18 months in the development to ensure the cards have the quality and stability to give you the FPS you need.
  • TORX Fan Blades – Maximizes downwards airflow and air dispersion to the massive heatsink below.
  • Airflow Control Technology – Guides more airflow directly onto the heatpipes by using special deflectors on the heatsink.
  • SuperSU Pipe Architecture – A massive nickel-plated copper base plate connected to 8mm heatpipes on the Graphics Card.
  • ZERO FROZR Technology – Eliminates fan noise in low-load situations by stopping the fans when they are not needed.
  • Independent Fan Control Software – The two fans can work independently of each other.
  • Premium White LED Controllable Lighting – Allows you to choose from 5 unique modes to set the right ambience for your gaming moments.

TWIN FROZR V

Cooler, Quieter, Better Gaming
We’ve listened to all your requests and the new TWIN FROZR V is smaller, features stronger fans, generates less noise, keeps your graphics card and its components cooler and matches perfectly with your MSI GAMING motherboard including some funky LED lightning. Our new TORX fans generates more airflow to maximize air dissipation to heatsink, while the advanced dispersion blade design generates 19% more airflow without increasing drag for supreme silent performance.

AIRFLOW CONTROL

Enhanced Dissipation Efficiency
MSI has fitted TWIN FROZR V coolers with the all new Airflow Control technology which guides more airflow directly onto the heat pipes by using special deflectors on the heat sink. In addition, this exclusive heat sink design increases heat sink surface area, greatly enhancing the dissipation efficiency.

SuperSU PIPE

Enhanced Dissipation Efficiency
SuperSU Architecture is the best cooling solution for graphics cards. The GPU is cooled by a massive nickel-plated copper base plate connected to Super Pipes (8mm heat pipes) on the MSI GAMING series graphics card. Additionally, the new heat pipe layout increases efficiency by reducing the length of unused heat pipe and a special SU-form design.

ZERO FROZR

Smart Cooling, Stay Quiet
MSI’s TWIN FROZR V Thermal Designs are equipped with Zero Frozr technology which was first introduced by MSI back in 2008. Zero Frozr technology eliminates fan noise in low-load situations by stopping the fans when they are not needed. Compared to other graphics cards, there is no continuous hum of airflow to tell you there’s a powerful graphics card in your gaming rig. This means you can focus on gaming without the distraction of other sounds coming from your PC.

INDEPENDENT FAN CONTROL

Maximum Fan Control, Minimum Noise
The two fans on the TWIN FROZR V Thermal Design can work independently of each other. This means you’ll only have the necessary fan noise given the temperature of the components below the fan. This unique solution gives you the best balance between temperatures and noise and highlights why the MSI TWIN FROZR V is seen as the ultimate Graphics Card cooling solution.


Availability of this feature varies by model.
