1
00:00:01,959 --> 00:00:08,719
so it may seem like cameraman has pointed the camera in the wrong

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:10,960
direction it may seem that way but in

3
00:00:08,719 --> 00:00:15,880
actuality he's looking for Hawks so you know scanning the sky all

4
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:20,320
that good stuff but he would be more likely to

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:27,640
find a hawk if he had a look at the box that I'm opening up right here this is

6
00:00:22,279 --> 00:00:31,640
the MSI GTX 560 TI

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:36,360
Hawk yes so this has a few things going

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:39,440
for it over the GTS GTX 560 twin frozer

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,920
2 so if you remember on the 460 the hawk

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:46,199
version of the card featured a twin frozer 2 cooler well the hawk version of

11
00:00:43,239 --> 00:00:51,239
the GTX 560 one-ups that and features a twin frozer 3 cooler with propeller

12
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:56,239
blades so MSI claims up to 20% more air flow with a propeller blade versus a

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:01,079
standard bladed fan we also get a copy of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

14
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:05,400
which presumably is a Tomb Raider game I don't know I haven't even heard of this

15
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:12,159
game before okay ready for 3D Mark 11 so that means it is direct X11 it has 1 gig

16
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:14,720
of gddr5 it has oh nice it has Mimi HDMI

17
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:21,240
woo mini HDMI I'm sure is what they meant to say as well as dual dual dvii

18
00:01:17,759 --> 00:01:23,600
GeForce Cuda NVIDIA SLI fizx by NVIDIA

19
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:27,720
NVIDIA 3D Vision as well as NVIDIA surround if you install two of these bad

20
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:34,479
boys threeyear warranty in US Canada and Mexico and opening up the box we've got

21
00:01:32,119 --> 00:01:40,159
all of those exclusive MSI features such as military Class 2 using tantalum core

22
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:44,600
capacitors solid capacitors as well as super farite chokes all of which are

23
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:48,240
designed to uh stabilize the GPU more make it last longer and make it run

24
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:52,360
cooler we've also got triple over voltage by afterburner this is a hawk

25
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:57,039
exclusive feature so you can now adjust the auxiliary voltage as well as the

26
00:01:54,159 --> 00:02:03,159
core and memory voltages in After Burner 8+ one phase pwm design which

27
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:09,560
delivers more Peak current than the GTX 560 TI uh oh okay and definitely more

28
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:14,920
than the reference one so I'm assuming they're talking about the uh uh 560 TI

29
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:18,000
twin frozer 2 PS switch okay so you can switch between performance and silence

30
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:22,840
this is kind of like the cooler that was on the uh Intel extreme Edition uh

31
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:26,239
latest generation cooler that came out with their six cores V check points

32
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:32,319
which we're used to seeing on Hawk edition cards so you can measure your voltages directly all right so the twin

33
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:36,920
frozer 3 cooler is a highdensity heat sink with propeller blades uses multiple

34
00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:42,640
heat pipes a nickel plated copper base as well as a direct contact design here

35
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:48,159
we go so they're saying it absolutely smokes the reference cooler which it

36
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:50,159
probably does because the Twin frozer

37
00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:56,159
series of coolers has an excellent reputation for utterly demolishing any

38
00:02:53,360 --> 00:03:00,959
reference cooler that you will find on pretty much any graphics card all right

39
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:06,319
in terms of accessories we have a couple dual Molex to six pin PCIe adapters just

40
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:10,280
in case you need them we've got our V checkpoint cables so you can plug those

41
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:14,040
into the board and then you can plug your multimeter in here find out what

42
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:18,519
your voltages are running at going to lift this out have a look at what we've

43
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:21,239
got included in terms of games you know what I actually don't have this game so

44
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:25,280
I'm not going to give this away I'm going to try it it's a uh hopefully a

45
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:30,280
steam download cuz if it's not it's probably too much work for me to bother

46
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:33,080
all right next we have a quick users

47
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:40,480
guide driver's disc which you shouldn't use uh we've got I don't know some other

48
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:43,959
piece of paper mini H Mimi HDMI to HDMI

49
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:46,519
adapter as well as a DVI to VGA adapter

50
00:03:43,959 --> 00:03:51,519
I'm just teasing the boys over at MSI and girls at MSI I'm sure that was a a

51
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:56,480
very innocent typo and they don't actually think that it's spelled Mimi so

52
00:03:53,640 --> 00:04:01,680
let's go ahead open up this package here there we go there we

53
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,680
go

54
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:07,840
there's a truck going by so we're not even going to try and

55
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:12,159
talk all right let's get this plastic off here got to love the outdoor

56
00:04:10,519 --> 00:04:16,120
unboxings I know a lot of you don't love the outdoor unboxings but frankly I

57
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:19,400
don't really care cuz I like them chance to get out of the office for a little

58
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:24,080
while not to mention the excellent natural light that lends itself well to

59
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,520
uh video augra videography all right just going to

60
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:30,520
finish taking off this plastic having a little little bit of trouble there

61
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:36,240
plastic all right there we go so this is the

62
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:43,560
twin frozer 3 so as you can see we've got the Dual 80 mm propeller blade fans

63
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:45,400
we've got a high density heat sink fin

64
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:49,800
Arrangement okay we've talked about that plenty before that's interesting they

65
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:55,199
did not call out the super pipes on this card so normally they call out their

66
00:04:51,479 --> 00:04:56,960
super pipes so we got one and two um

67
00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:59,919
incredibly thick heat pipes that are designed you can see those are the ones

68
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:04,280
that carry the heat furthest away from the GPU so they are more efficient than

69
00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:09,639
the thinner heat pipes because they have to carry the heat out away further you

70
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:12,560
can see the PCB is stamped MSI Hawk

71
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:17,400
version 1.2 the reason it's stamped MSI Hawk and not NVIDIA reference is that it

72
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:21,520
is a completely custom PCB that is how MSI builds in the functionality of the

73
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:27,560
their auxiliary over voltage their V check points as well as uh uh more P

74
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:33,479
phases of pwm to deliver cleaner power to your GPU for better overclo

75
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:37,360
in back here we've got our V check

76
00:05:33,479 --> 00:05:41,280
points so we've got one for the GPU one

77
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:44,199
for the memory and one for the PLL okay

78
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:48,720
here we've got our dual six pin PCIe power connectors and then this is

79
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:53,400
another feature that they did not talk about at all on the packaging but this

80
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:57,199
brace right here this prevents the GPU from flexing when you have a heavy

81
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:01,639
cooler installed such as a twin frozer 3 cooler so what that means is that when

82
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:05,440
you okay basically when you install your graphics card in your system it's

83
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:10,720
supported only by these screws and the slot itself so what happens is a lot of

84
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:15,120
the time if you put a heavy cooler on it the board will Flex down from the weight

85
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:19,319
will this add some extra rigidity to the board because you can see it's bolted in

86
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:24,160
right here to the screws that go into your case and gives it some more some

87
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:29,160
more a more solid overall Mount into your chassis Okay so we've covered that

88
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:33,120
let's have a look at the back of the PCB itself self where we are using

89
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:37,639
spring-loaded screws to mount the twin frozer 3 cooler we've also got a

90
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:42,919
standard PCI Express 16x interface which we're pretty much used to seeing at this

91
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:45,440
point on graphics cards one SLI finger

92
00:06:42,919 --> 00:06:51,400
so that is two-way SLI ready but not three-way or four-way SLI ready that is

93
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:54,479
a limitation of the GTX 560

94
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:58,280
gf14 um whatever it's called

95
00:06:54,479 --> 00:06:59,759
thing uh gf14 GPU here we've got a bio

96
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:04,560
switch that's kind of cool so you can switch between bioses and then I

97
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:09,960
actually don't know what that is if you guys know what this is let me know it looks like a fan header to me but I

98
00:07:07,879 --> 00:07:12,639
could be wrong in fact I'm pretty sure I'm wrong cuz that would be only three

99
00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:17,639
pins okay hold on let me see if the PCB is labeled and I just can't see it so

100
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:23,440
there's performance oh here we go oh no this is not a bio switch it's for

101
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:25,479
performance silent and and one other

102
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:29,919
mode that's not very well labeled you can see the labels are actually down

103
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:36,400
here under the switch performance side and reserved oh okay and

104
00:07:34,039 --> 00:07:40,800
then this is something to do with the BIOS it's it's label J BIOS so guys feel

105
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,560
free to leave a comment and let me know what you guys think it is here we go at

106
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:48,919
the back you can see that there's going to be a little bit of external exhaust

107
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:53,039
from the Twin frozer 3 but I would not I would definitely not rely on that to do

108
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:57,720
the bulk of your cooling so you're going to be uh kicking out a fair bit of heat

109
00:07:55,199 --> 00:08:01,440
into your case that's just the reality of these high performance cool coolers

110
00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:05,560
you better have a high performance case that's prepared to move the heat out

111
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:11,120
here's our dual dvis as well as our Mimi HDMI and I think that's pretty much

112
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:17,520
everything I have to say about the twin frozer 3 Hawk GTX 560 TI don't forget to

113
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:22,919
subscribe to Li techtips for more unboxings reviews and other computer

114
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:28,400
videos and thanks to MSI for providing us with the GTX 560 TI to check out

115
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:32,039
looks pretty sweet especially in the sun it's all shiny and

116
00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:36,039
and now we're looking for Hawks up there again we to go C
