WEBVTT 00:00:01.959 --> 00:00:08.719 so it may seem like cameraman has pointed the camera in the wrong 00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:10.960 direction it may seem that way but in 00:00:08.719 --> 00:00:15.880 actuality he's looking for Hawks so you know scanning the sky all 00:00:14.639 --> 00:00:20.320 that good stuff but he would be more likely to 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 00:00:22.279 --> 00:00:31.640 the MSI GTX 560 TI 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:36.360 Hawk yes so this has a few things going 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:39.440 for it over the GTS GTX 560 twin frozer 00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:40.920 2 so if you remember on the 460 the hawk 00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:46.199 version of the card featured a twin frozer 2 cooler well the hawk version of 00:00:43.239 --> 00:00:51.239 the GTX 560 one-ups that and features a twin frozer 3 cooler with propeller 00:00:48.440 --> 00:00:56.239 blades so MSI claims up to 20% more air flow with a propeller blade versus a 00:00:53.640 --> 00:01:01.079 standard bladed fan we also get a copy of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light 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 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 00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:14.720 of gddr5 it has oh nice it has Mimi HDMI 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 00:01:17.759 --> 00:01:23.600 GeForce Cuda NVIDIA SLI fizx by NVIDIA 00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:27.720 NVIDIA 3D Vision as well as NVIDIA surround if you install two of these bad 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:34.479 boys threeyear warranty in US Canada and Mexico and opening up the box we've got 00:01:32.119 --> 00:01:40.159 all of those exclusive MSI features such as military Class 2 using tantalum core 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:44.600 capacitors solid capacitors as well as super farite chokes all of which are 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:48.240 designed to uh stabilize the GPU more make it last longer and make it run 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:52.360 cooler we've also got triple over voltage by afterburner this is a hawk 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:57.039 exclusive feature so you can now adjust the auxiliary voltage as well as the 00:01:54.159 --> 00:02:03.159 core and memory voltages in After Burner 8+ one phase pwm design which 00:02:00.479 --> 00:02:09.560 delivers more Peak current than the GTX 560 TI uh oh okay and definitely more 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 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:18.000 twin frozer 2 PS switch okay so you can switch between performance and silence 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:22.840 this is kind of like the cooler that was on the uh Intel extreme Edition uh 00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:26.239 latest generation cooler that came out with their six cores V check points 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 00:02:30.040 --> 00:02:36.920 frozer 3 cooler is a highdensity heat sink with propeller blades uses multiple 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:42.640 heat pipes a nickel plated copper base as well as a direct contact design here 00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:48.159 we go so they're saying it absolutely smokes the reference cooler which it 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:50.159 probably does because the Twin frozer 00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:56.159 series of coolers has an excellent reputation for utterly demolishing any 00:02:53.360 --> 00:03:00.959 reference cooler that you will find on pretty much any graphics card all right 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:06.319 in terms of accessories we have a couple dual Molex to six pin PCIe adapters just 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 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:14.040 into the board and then you can plug your multimeter in here find out what 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 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 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 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 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:33.080 all right next we have a quick users 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 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:43.959 piece of paper mini H Mimi HDMI to HDMI 00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:46.519 adapter as well as a DVI to VGA adapter 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 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:56.480 very innocent typo and they don't actually think that it's spelled Mimi so 00:03:53.640 --> 00:04:01.680 let's go ahead open up this package here there we go there we 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.680 go 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:07.840 there's a truck going by so we're not even going to try and 00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:12.159 talk all right let's get this plastic off here got to love the outdoor 00:04:10.519 --> 00:04:16.120 unboxings I know a lot of you don't love the outdoor unboxings but frankly I 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 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:24.080 while not to mention the excellent natural light that lends itself well to 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:27.520 uh video augra videography all right just going to 00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:30.520 finish taking off this plastic having a little little bit of trouble there 00:04:29.320 --> 00:04:36.240 plastic all right there we go so this is the 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 00:04:39.479 --> 00:04:45.400 we've got a high density heat sink fin 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:49.800 Arrangement okay we've talked about that plenty before that's interesting they 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:55.199 did not call out the super pipes on this card so normally they call out their 00:04:51.479 --> 00:04:56.960 super pipes so we got one and two um 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:59.919 incredibly thick heat pipes that are designed you can see those are the ones 00:04:58.320 --> 00:05:04.280 that carry the heat furthest away from the GPU so they are more efficient than 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:09.639 the thinner heat pipes because they have to carry the heat out away further you 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:12.560 can see the PCB is stamped MSI Hawk 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 00:05:14.520 --> 00:05:21.520 is a completely custom PCB that is how MSI builds in the functionality of the 00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:27.560 their auxiliary over voltage their V check points as well as uh uh more P 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:33.479 phases of pwm to deliver cleaner power to your GPU for better overclo 00:05:30.280 --> 00:05:37.360 in back here we've got our V check 00:05:33.479 --> 00:05:41.280 points so we've got one for the GPU one 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:44.199 for the memory and one for the PLL okay 00:05:41.280 --> 00:05:48.720 here we've got our dual six pin PCIe power connectors and then this is 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:53.400 another feature that they did not talk about at all on the packaging but this 00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:57.199 brace right here this prevents the GPU from flexing when you have a heavy 00:05:54.960 --> 00:06:01.639 cooler installed such as a twin frozer 3 cooler so what that means is that when 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:05.440 you okay basically when you install your graphics card in your system it's 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:10.720 supported only by these screws and the slot itself so what happens is a lot of 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 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 00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:24.160 right here to the screws that go into your case and gives it some more some 00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:29.160 more a more solid overall Mount into your chassis Okay so we've covered that 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 00:06:30.840 --> 00:06:37.639 spring-loaded screws to mount the twin frozer 3 cooler we've also got a 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:42.919 standard PCI Express 16x interface which we're pretty much used to seeing at this 00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:45.440 point on graphics cards one SLI finger 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 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:54.479 a limitation of the GTX 560 00:06:51.400 --> 00:06:58.280 gf14 um whatever it's called 00:06:54.479 --> 00:06:59.759 thing uh gf14 GPU here we've got a bio 00:06:58.280 --> 00:07:04.560 switch that's kind of cool so you can switch between bioses and then I 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 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 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 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 00:07:19.400 --> 00:07:25.479 performance silent and and one other 00:07:23.440 --> 00:07:29.919 mode that's not very well labeled you can see the labels are actually down 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:36.400 here under the switch performance side and reserved oh okay and 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 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 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 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 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 00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:01.440 into your case that's just the reality of these high performance cool coolers 00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:05.560 you better have a high performance case that's prepared to move the heat out 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 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 00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:22.919 subscribe to Li techtips for more unboxings reviews and other computer 00:08:20.080 --> 00:08:28.400 videos and thanks to MSI for providing us with the GTX 560 TI to check out 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:32.039 looks pretty sweet especially in the sun it's all shiny and 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:36.039 and now we're looking for Hawks up there again we to go C
