DISPERSION FAN BLADE

has a steeper curved blade which accelerates the airflow, increasing its effectiveness.

TRADITIONAL FAN BLADE

pushes down a steady airflow to the massive heatsink below.

ZERO FROZR-STAY UNDETECTED

First introduced in 2008 by MSI, ZeroFrozr technology has made its mark and is now the industry standard among graphics cards. It eliminates fan noise by stopping the fans in low-load situations. This means you can focus on gaming without the noise of spinning fans.

CATCH THE VIBE WITH COOL LED EFFECTS

Each LED can be controlled individually by choosing any of the animation effects availiable in the MSI Gaming App, ranging from responding to your game sounds or music to steady light, breathing and flashing. Of course, you can also turn them off.

HEATSINK

Lurking under the cover of the GAMING graphics card is an engineering masterpiece designed to keep the graphics card cool. Every tiny detail of the intricate heatsink plays an essential part in providing a cool & quiet gaming experience.

AIRFLOW CONTROL TECHNOLOGY

Using advanced aerodynamics, Airflow Control Technology directs more air directly onto the TWIN FROZR VI heat pipes. The special deflectors on the heat sink enlarge the surface area, which means lower temperatures and better gaming.

SMOOTH HEAT PIPES

Up to 8mm thick copper heat pipes with a smooth squared shape at the bottom maximize heat transfer from the surface of the copper base plate.

SOLID BASEPLATE

To temper the heat generated by a powerful GPU, MSI GAMING series graphics cards use a solid nickel-plated copper base plate. The base plate catches the heat from the GPU and transfers it to the heat pipes for dissipation so you can keep cool.

PREMIUM THERMAL COMPOUND

Every detail counts when it comes to creating the ultimate thermal design, which is why TWIN FROZ VI uses a premium thermal compound to mae sure it outlives the competition.

BACKPLATE

A powerful graphics card needs a strong build to harness its performance. MSI GAMING X graphics cards are fitted with a solid metal back plate to make it extra tough. The matte black finish completes the TWIN FROZR VI design to perfection.
