MSI SHADOW brings a performance-focused design that delivers the gaming experience players want, making it the ideal choice when upgrading or building a gaming rig. Three fans on a large heatsink deliver both superior and quieter cooling. TORX FAN 5.0 enhances airflow and pressure through an improved fan design. Ring arcs link three sets of 22-degree-tilted fan blades, increasing airflow by 23% compared to axial fans. Heat from the GPU and memory modules is quickly captured by a solid nickel-plated copper baseplate and rapidly transferred to the core pipes. Core Pipes are engineered with a square shape contact area for maximum heat capture where it engages the GPU baseplate, then dispersing heat across the heatsink for optimal thermal management. The reinforcing backplate features an airflow vent that allows exhaust air to directly pass through. The fans completely stop when temperatures are relatively low, eliminating all noise when active cooling is not needed. The fans will automatically start spinning again when the heat is on during gaming. You can pack high performance into a smaller footprint with this SFF-Ready Enthusiast GeForce card.
