WEBVTT 00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:13.840 so today we'll be doing a quick unboxing of the MSI GTX 00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:19.960 560 that's it no ti so this is a 560 non 00:00:18.119 --> 00:00:24.400 TI It features their twin frozer 2 cooler it is an OC Edition card so it 00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:27.920 has the uh well it has some justification for the twin frozer cooler 00:00:26.119 --> 00:00:31.960 cuz they have turned up the clock speeds it features their military Class 2 00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:35.640 concept which means using higher quality components in order to increase 00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:41.280 longevity increase overclocking all that good stuff it's only 30 DB Under full 00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:45.440 load uh MSI says and I believe that the twin frozer 2 is an excellent cooler I 00:00:43.559 --> 00:00:50.039 just think it's awesome all right we've got a threeyear warranty in the US and 00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:52.719 Canada and Mexico don't know where else 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:58.160 uh the warranties apply or don't apply okay it is 3D Vision ready features fizx 00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:00.000 Cuda NVIDIA SLI up to two-way SLI on 00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:03.879 this particular GPU and it has full support for MSI After Burner you also 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:09.159 get a copy of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light this is a steam copy 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.880 so it's quite easy to activate all right 00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:14.920 opening this up you can see a little bit more information about exactly the stuff 00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:20.360 that I just said and I'm pretty familiar with the twin frozer 2 cooler so I think 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:22.439 I can go in blind on that one without uh 00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:29.439 seeing what MSI has to say for themselves so the gtx560 non-ti so this 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:32.280 is just a slightly cut down uh card with 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:37.920 a same basic GPU so the performance is close but not quite what you're going to 00:01:34.399 --> 00:01:42.439 get out of a GTX 560 TI full-fledged 00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:44.560 card but it's cheaper so there you go 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:53.439 features uh not features comes with a mini HDMI to HDMI adapter a DVI to VGA 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:56.799 adapter a quick user guide some useless 00:01:53.439 --> 00:02:00.759 disc there's your lar coft game as well 00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:04.399 as your driver update guide all right so 00:02:00.759 --> 00:02:06.079 go ahead and put this back in and then 00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:10.920 put this back in and let's have a look at the product itself here oh no no more 00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:16.800 accessories so dual Molex two single six pin PCIe connectors two of them and 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.800 finally the card 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:31.480 itself comes in an anti-static 00:02:28.440 --> 00:02:32.800 bag twin frozer 2 cooler hasn't changed 00:02:31.480 --> 00:02:38.560 much you know what give me two seconds I'm going to grab a 560 00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:40.840 TI yeah I forgot my 560 uh twin frozer 2 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:44.480 560 TI twin frozer 2 I got to be careful with that from now on my 560 TI twin 00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:48.280 frozer 2 is part of the prize system I'm giving away so it's upstairs I'm not 00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:53.400 going to go get it but this is a GTX 460 Hawk and it uses the same PCB as the 560 00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:57.680 TI twin frozer 2 so you can see that it also uses the same PCB you can see the 00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:04.080 hawk is actually covered up right here as the GTX 560 twin frozer 2 so there's 00:03:01.239 --> 00:03:07.000 no real changes in terms of the physical layout of this board but I'm going to 00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:13.120 walk you through it anyway we've got a couple of 92 mm low profile fans so this 00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:17.239 allows MSI to maintain a two slot profile while putting in a dual fan 00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:22.200 custom cooled cooler solution all right we've 00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:25.879 got two super pipes so here's your two regular heat pipes in the middle of the 00:03:23.720 --> 00:03:29.319 GPU and the two super pipes are going out further away from the GPU because 00:03:27.959 --> 00:03:33.959 they do need to carry heat a little bit more efficiently because they are going 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:40.319 over a greater distance you've got your standard PCIe 16x interface down 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:45.280 here as well as what the heck is this this looks like uh it's got a couple of 00:03:42.640 --> 00:03:50.159 purposes okay so oh that's something new all right so you can see on the GTX 460 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:56.079 here there's uh nothing here and on the GTX 560 twin frozer too 00:03:54.360 --> 00:04:01.280 there is a heat sink here so that would be for the uh the voltage Regulators so 00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:04.879 I guess MSI has just uh beefed up the design a little bit here and it looks 00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:09.920 like it's also going to provide some additional yeah here if you look at it from this side you can see it actually 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:13.200 wraps around the end of the PCB and it that should provide some stiffness to 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:16.400 the card as well and that won't be the only thing that provides stiffness to 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:22.560 the card so you can see up here they're using their uh PCB stiffener actually 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:25.360 they have a name for this that I've just 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:30.440 forgotten and it looks like they haven't included it on the on the box either 00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:34.919 which makes my life more difficult but um basically what it is is it's a piece 00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:38.120 of metal that allows the card to be more rigid overall so you can't you can't 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:41.680 really Flex the PCB you know what why don't we compare it against the 460 so 00:04:40.280 --> 00:04:46.880 here you can see how much Flex there is in it right okay so let's compare that 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:51.000 to the 460 I'll hold that the same way and I'm just going to pinch it the same 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:54.639 way so you can see how that PCB can Flex quite a bit more now especially if 00:04:53.320 --> 00:04:59.600 you're moving your system around or shipping it remember it's only secured 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:04.000 by the PCIe slot and by the two screws up here so if the card is not very stiff 00:05:02.039 --> 00:05:08.520 over here there can be a lot of a lot of movement which can cause it to I mean 00:05:06.479 --> 00:05:12.360 I've even heard of cards in shipping mind you uh before they used spring 00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:16.039 mounted screws on the backs of video cards this is why everyone started doing 00:05:14.039 --> 00:05:21.400 it where the coolers actually coming off from vibration and from movement it can 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.120 also cause undue strain uh on the PCIe 00:05:21.400 --> 00:05:26.400 slot and on the screws if you don't have that stiffening piece there so that's uh 00:05:25.039 --> 00:05:31.919 that's one thing that they have added to this card versus the 460 we've got dual 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:35.800 six pin PCIe connectors on the back of the card so it should have support for 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:40.759 almost any power supply any modern power supply should be able to run this card 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:42.880 just fine here's your four pin pwm fan 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:48.319 control uh at the top of the board you do find your SLI Bridge connector so 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:53.039 there is just one which means two-way SLI not three-way SLI the back of the 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:58.039 card looks pretty much like we've come to expect from anything using this 00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:01.960 particular PCB you guys are welcome to uh look for the if you want but I 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:08.680 suspect you will not find any differences between the appearance of 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:11.240 the 460 Hawk and the GTX twin frozer 2 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:14.160 560 GTX twin frozer 2 these these names are getting very confusing I have to 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:20.280 confess all right on the back of the card you find dual DVI if I can ever get 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:24.400 this connector plug cover thing off as well as mini HDMI so that's why you have 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:27.479 that adapter now about the twin frozer 2 cooler you can see here there are some 00:06:25.960 --> 00:06:33.240 vent holes so you're going to have a little bit of heat being expelled outside of the cas but most of it is 00:06:30.840 --> 00:06:37.560 going to be expelled inside the case so there's always compromises to be made 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:41.400 and the compromise MSI has made is they have opted for lower overall G GPU 00:06:39.919 --> 00:06:46.360 temperatures which should result in better overclocking at the by 00:06:44.520 --> 00:06:49.560 sacrificing the overall case temperatures a little bit so you want to 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:52.840 make sure you got a decently ventilated case with good cooling fans and you 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:58.080 shouldn't run into any problems thank you for checking out my unboxing of the 00:06:54.280 --> 00:06:59.599 GTX
