Prepare for a wave of custom-design AMD Radeon HD 6870 graphics cards. MSI joins the party with its new R6870 Twin Frozr II graphics card that uses the company's tried and tested Twin Frozr II GPU heatsink assembly on top of AMD reference design PCB. The cooler is advertised to keep the GPU up to 19 °C cooler, and 12.8 dB quieter compared to the AMD reference design cooler. It makes use of a large aluminum fin array to which heat is conveyed by 8 mm thick heat pipes. Ventilation is care of two 90 mm fans. MSI didn't specify if this card is factory-overclocked, but there's a good chance it is. Expect MSI's card to be launched in the days to come.
