came across an illustration of MSI's upcoming Twinfrozr V cooler. Designed for the company's upcoming high-end Gaming series graphics cards, this cooler features two large aluminium fin arrays that are fed by five 8mm nickel-plated copper heatpipes. Airflow is taken care of by two 100mm fans and it's rumored that MSI is experimenting with a new impeller design that enhances the airflow to noise ratio.
It's interesting to note that in its CGI render of a card equipped with this cooler, MSI showed a PCB with two NVIDIA SLI bridge fingers, and two 6-pin PCIe power inputs. Could this be the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, in effect making the card the MSI GTX 980 Gaming OC? Wait until the 19th of September to find out. GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 are NVIDIA's next high-end GPUs, based on the 28 nm "GM204" silicon, derived from the company's new "Maxwell" architecture.
