welcome to my unboxing and first look at the MSI GTX GeForce GTX 670 power
Edition so this is unique because it has triple voltage that is an enhanced power
delivery design which allows you to actually overvolt the GPU which
reference boards can't do so you can use MSI After Burner which is conspicuously
missing at little badge on the front ah there it is you can use MSI afterburner
to overclock this graphics card significantly better probably in theory
you know I can't guarantee overclocking results than a referenced GTX 670 or
even a non-referenced GTX 670 that
doesn't use their you know military class beefy components as well as their
unique voltage controller design that actually allows the card to be
overvolted because Normal GTX 670s have
uh some trouble with that so here we go triple over voltage by MSI afterburner
so voltage adjustment of GPU memory and PLL by After Burner military class 3
components we've come to expect this from these guys so they're super far
chokes highly conductive capacitors capacitors capacitors and solid caps MSI
After Burner we've talked about already enhanced pwm design enhances
overclocking stability okay got it and
media's comment to Twin frozer thermal design ah yes so it uses their twin
frozer cooler this uses a twin uh hey
Alex does this used twin frozer three or four four okay thank you we've actually
got Alex here from MSI while we film these and then I have to give these back
to him to take with him because uh he needs them for some kind of sorry where
you going uh Alaska he says he's going to Alaska
with them but I don't believe that for a second so dual Molex to uh uh six pin
PCIe connectors you've got two of them in terms of included accessories you
usually find those with MSI cards down here DV to VGA as well as you know users
guide driver disc you don't need and all that normal stuff now let's get into the
graphics card itself so the most unique thing about this card as I said before
is not what you're going to find on the card however it does have their twin
frozer 4 cooler so twin frozer keeps
evolving the original twin frozer was just two fans on a heat sink the twin
frozer 2 added super pipes the twin frozer 3 added the propeller blade fans
which with their coating at the end here is less conducive to noise production or
less less noisy because of the way that the turbulence is reduced as well as uh
aha the the inclusion with Trin frozer 4 is the fact that the fan spin backwards
for a little while before spinning forward which is helpful for reducing
dust buildup on the heat sink itself because you can build the best heat sink in the world but then you cake it up
with dust and it doesn't work at all so so that's uh that's all the different
things that have gone into twin frozer it also looks cooler now than it used to
uh card design so check this out it has a full board I don't know how much you
can see it but you see here it has a full board unisync that actually adds to
the structural rigidity of the board as well as increasing cooling so any
components that need cooling you can see they have thermal pads for things like
RAM right there so they're making contact spreading that heat out and any
components that don't need cooling are popping up through it see just like that
however that's not to say they're not getting any cooling anyway because the design of the twin frozer cooler blows
air down over the entire PCB anyhow uh
you find most of the other stuff that you're used to dual DVI DisplayPort as
well as HDMI out so this is a GTX 600
series card which means you got full support for NVIDIA uh 3D Vision surround
off of a single card and with a 670 you can actually get away with that however
with some of the lower end stuff you aren't going to be able to run three displays at 1080P and 3D and at any kind
of you know decent frame rate I mean this is probably where I would start and
then maybe add another one if you're not happy with the frame rate speaking of
adding another one GTX 670 does support up to four-way SLI so 1 2 3 or four
cards are all supported and you got ah
yes non-reference PCB so we've talked about this a little bit already but the
reference GTX 670 PCB is like here cuts
off here so there's just not as much room to put on beefy power components
and to have the power connectors at the end of the board which is a little bit
better for cable management and to just have more room to lay things out rather
than cramping them all together so that's the advantage of getting a non-
reference card for something like a high-end GPU like a GTX 670 so I think
that pretty much covers it thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the GeForce GTX 670 power Edition
