TRI FROZR 3 THERMAL DESIGN
Stay cool and quiet. MSI’s TRI FROZR 3 thermal design enhances heat dissipation all around the graphics card.
TORX FAN 5.0TORX FAN 5.0 is a culmination of fan design improvements to increase the air pressure and flow into the heatsink. Ring arcs link three sets of fan blades that tilt 22 degrees together to maintain high-pressure airflow even at slower rotational speeds. The resulting increased airflow is +23% compared to an axial fan. |

TORX FAN 5.0A fan cowl extends a bit beyond the general enclosure to lengthen the wind’s passageway, allowing airflow to stabilize and move smoother through the fans. Bulging notches under the cowl help to reduce recirculation, thus further improving airflow stability and reducing some noise. |
|
COPPER BASEPLATEFACING THE HEAT HEAD-ONHeat from the GPU and memory modules is immediately captured by a solid nickel-plated copper baseplate and then rapidly transferred to an array of heat pipes. This widening of the thermal transfer systems with highly efficient mechanisms improves overall efficiency. |

| Airflow Control improves airflow dynamics through the Wave Curved 2.0 and updated deflectors for optimizing the balance between cooling and quieter acoustics. | ![]() |
AIR ANTEGRADE FINFins with a V-shaped cutout are located at the airflow passthrough to improve flow efficiency. Optimizing the inclination angle and increasing the wave notch shapes the air resistance towards the center, pushing out warm air faster like a nozzle. |

KEEPING THE CORE COOL
Core Pipes are precision-crafted to make maximum use of the available space. A squared section of heat pipes fully touch the GPU baseplate and spread the heat along the full length of the heatsink.

METAL BACKPLATEThermal pads under the sturdy metal backplate provide additional cooling while the flow-through ventilation reduces trapped heat. |

DOUBLE BALL BEARINGTwo sets of durable ball bearings spin the TORX FANs for years of intense and lengthy gaming sessions. |

ZERO FROZRThe fans completely stop when temperatures are relatively low, eliminating all noise when active cooling is not needed. |
HARDENING EVERY DETAIL

High-Efficiency Carbonyl Inductors (HCI)
Manufacturing and material improvements to our choke parts have culminated as High-Efficiency Carbonyl Inductors (HCI.) One-piece molding allows this design to operate with less choke noise and better electrical filtering. DrMos DrMOS power stage solutions provide great efficiency with low power loss and enhanced voltage controls. |
Change Focus When NeededDual BIOS gives you the choice to prioritize full performance in GAMING mode or low noise in SILENT mode. |
Effective Thermal Padding An abundance of clay-based thermal pads provide additional heat dissipation for board components. |
Hardened Defenses Additional fuses built into the custom PCB provide additional safeguards against electrical damage. |
RELENTLESS DEFENSE
A die-cast anti-bending plate reinforces the whole card while thermal pads allow cooling to reach critical component underneath.

YOUR SUPPORT CHARACTER
A bundled support bracket can be attached to your PC case for additional graphics card reinforcement.
