![]() ![]() To temper the heat generated by a powerful GPU, MSI GAMING series graphics cards use a solid nickel-plated copper base plate. 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. The special deflectors on the heat sink enlarge the surface area, which means lower temperatures and better gaming. Using advanced aerodynamics, Airflow Control Technology directs more air directly onto the TWIN FROZR VI heat pipes. Every tiny detail of the intricate heatsink plays an essential part in providing a cool & quiet gaming experience. Lurking under the cover of the GAMING graphics card is an engineering masterpiece designed to keep the graphics card cool. Above 60C the fan starts.Įach 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. This means you can focus on gaming without the noise of spinning fans.Under 60C, fans stop, completely silent (mulitmedia or light gaming). It eliminates fan noise by stopping the fans in low-load situations. Just like in games, the exclusive MSI TORX 2.0 Fan technology uses the power of teamwork to allow the TWIN FROZR VI to achieve new levels of cool.TORX 2.0 Fan design generates 22% more air pressure for supremely silent performance in the heat of battle.įirst introduced in 2008 by MSI, ZeroFrozr technology has made its mark and is now the industry standard among graphics cards. See these features and more at the MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G website ! The Gaming X also has LED’s built in to the heatsink, which can be controlled with the MSI Gaming App, for adding a little extra flair to your build. MSI is touting premium thermal compound here as well, what I saw during disassembly was definitely a step up from what is typically seen on a GPU. In a little more detail here, the heatsink has a nickel-plated copper baseplate with five heat pipes up to eight millimeters in size. Basically, you have fans which are incredibly quiet, which also don’t start spinning until the GPU reaches 60 ☌ on the core! This iteration adds the TORX 2.0 fans and includes the ZeroFrozr functionality. ![]() As with the bigger brother we reviewed, the MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G, the GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G comes with the TwinFrozr VI cooler.
