00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:09.200
All right, guys. Now, I did promise a follow-up on the GTX 580 Twin Frozer 2

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:12.800
overclocked video card unboxing that I did. So, I've got the card here, and I

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:19.119
promised you guys that I would compare it against a reference cooled card. So,

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:21.600
here I've got an EVGA GeForce GTX 580

00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:26.640
reference card. So, it's using the stock NVIDIA cooler. I've got my trusty

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:31.359
temperature probe, which tells us that well, okay, as of before I walked over

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:36.960
there, it was at 22°, but I guess now we're up around

00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:39.680
23ish°. And uh I've also got Firmark

00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:43.680
running. Now, remember, Firmark does no longer deliver accurate results if

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:48.640
you're trying to find the absolute max temps of a GeForce card. However, since

00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:54.960
we're comparing two identical cards, two GTX 580s, we can trust it to tell us the

00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:59.600
relative temperatures under a similar load of these two cards. So, you can see

00:00:57.199 --> 00:01:03.840
up here in the top right corner, our GPU temperature is at You can't see that at

00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:10.280
all, can you? I guess I'll just have to walk over to the TV and not be lazy. All

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:14.080
right, so our GTX 580 is running at

00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:17.040
69° with a fan speed of about 2,000 RPM.

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:20.400
We're at stock speeds here and I'm just going to take a quick audio sample for

00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:23.600
you guys to show you what the reference cooler sounds like under

00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:32.640
load. And here is the Twin Frozer 2. You

00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:37.200
can see our room has warmed up a little bit. So, whenever you're comparing the

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:43.640
Twin Frozer 2 results against the stock cooler results, you should assume that

00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:46.000
if the room temperatures were the

00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:50.399
same that the temperatures of the Twin Frozer 2 would actually be a couple

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:54.640
degrees cooler. Oh, looks like it's fluctuating as I move around. It's a

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:59.119
very sensitive sensor there. So anyway, the Twin Frozer 2 peaks, bearing in mind

00:01:57.119 --> 00:02:05.040
this is an overclocked card, so it runs at 800 MHz versus the stock frequency of

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:07.840
the GTX 580. And oh, please focus. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:15.720
come on. You can focus. There you go. Okay, so 800 MHz. And then we've also

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:19.440
got a peak GPU temperature of

00:02:15.720 --> 00:02:24.680
57°. So that is pretty darn impressive.

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:24.680
The uh fan RPM is around 2400.

00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:34.000
And that is what it sounds like. So, the Twin Frozer 2 absolutely destroys the

00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:39.040
stock cooler in terms of performance. Personally, I think it looks nicer, too,

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:45.440
but uh you know, to each his own. So, thank you for checking out this little

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:47.200
video on the MSI GTX 570 Twin Frozer 2.
