Twin Frozr V - Cooler, Quieter, Better Gaming

With every new generation of GPUs comes more performance. With every new generation of MSI Twin Frozr, we give you less noise and heat! 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 lighting. We've spent 18 months on the development of the Twin Frozr V, including field testing in gaming cafés to ensure the cards have the quality and stability to give you the FPS you need!

Torx Fan

Traditional Fan Blade

Maximizes downwards airflow and air dispersion to the massive heat sink below them.

Dispersion Fan Blade

Intake more airflow to maximizes air dissipation to heat sink.

TORX FAN

  • Traditional Fan Blade
  • Dispersion Fan Blade

AIRFLOW DIAGRAM

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 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 ZeroFrozr technology which was first introduced by MSI back in 2008. ZeroFrozr 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.

5 Stars
BEST CARD IN IT'S CLASS! PERIOD.
Love this card. I got this as a upgrade headed for 2016. It may be important to note that my previous card was an MSI model also, a R9 280X Gaming edition. Wanted to wait until the new wave of cards came but, since no announcements have been made, I had to make a move on this special million edition. As far as the asthetics SP? go, they are top notch. The glowing MSI LED is fantastic if you have a case that can show it off. It doesn't stop at the good looks the twin Frozr SP? again! appears to have been upgraded as well. Earlier I had mentioned that I had the MSI twin Frozr setup and did not work nearly as well as this setup. Maybe it's the upgraded backing plate which is a VERY welcomed upgrade, thank you MSI! Anyways like I was saying about the previous card I had with the same fans, it would sometime reach temps of 95c and even higher, without overclock. So with the same apparent fans my new card now has maxed out at 86c under full load @ 2K on MSI Kombuster, with basically everything I can throw at it. So this card is very impressive. I hope that I can max out Fallout 4 and still run textures and ENB series without too much overclocking. Getting the Phantom Pain as a free game is nice also, although I'm a little disappointed I missed out on the witcher 3 giveaway. Would gladly trade if it was possible. Oh and let me say this Nvidia make a superior product to AMD GPU's. The drivers, forced Vsync is a godsend. Never again will I give AMD money for a GPU. Sorry for the rambling.So all that said this is a great card for your money if your ok with spending 330 plus.The MSI gaming app is nice for one click overclocking.Afterburner is a great app to have. ( I also recommend GPU-Z for the real techies) great app!Fantastic architechture sp? with the fans and back plate.The plan is to SLI this car with another but, I am totally satisfied until I get a 4K monitor.Overall this is one of the best GPU's on the market if you can snatch it up (limited edition) Out of the box overclocking, fantastic looks, excellent heat dissipation, MSI LED, back plate, and best in class core clock and memory clock.MY opinion is all this adds up to a final score of 98 out of 100! As close to perfection as you can get for the money!Clint aka hotdogGT signing offDecided to take a pic, hope you like my rig. I worked hard for it!
