Con il comunicato stampa di seguito allegato, MSI ha annunciato la linea di schede grafiche ad alte prestazioni N500GTX Twin Frozr II.
Al momento la nuova serie include i prodotti N580GTX Twin Frozr II e N570GTX Twin Frozr II (cfr. le foto seguenti) che, come si intuisce dalle denominazioni commerciali, sono basati rispettivamente sulle gpu GeForce GTX 580 e GeForce GTX 570 di NVIDIA e sono accomunati dall'equipaggiamento con un cooler Twin Frozr II, che fornisce una elevata efficienza in fase di dissipazione dell'energia termica unitamente a un ridotto livello di rumore.
In accordo al produttore, i cooler delle soluzioni N500GTX Twin Frozr II, che ricoprono anche i chip di RAM e i transistor dello stadio di alimentazione, e includono due ventole da 80mm controllate da un sensore della temperatura, sono in grado di abbassare la temperatura di circa 20°C rispetto alle versioni reference, a parità di condizioni operative dell'hardware.
Il design delle N500GTX Twin Frozr II e la qualità dei componenti impiegati per l'implementazione delle card (a tal proposito segnaliamo i condensatori, tutti a stato solido, che minimizzano la dissipazione di potenza, e quindi contribuiscono a mantenere contenuta la temperatura di esercizio, in virtù del basso valore della Equivalent Series Resistance, o in breve ESR, che possono vantare, ndr) rendono le schede grafiche N580GTX Twin Frozr II e N570GTX Twin Frozr II particolarmente idonee per l'overclock, che è peraltro facilitato dal tool proprietario fornito in bundle, ovvero MSI Afterburner.

Globally-renowned graphics card and mainboard manufacturer MSI today officially unveils its N500 series of graphics card featuring the award-winning Twin Frozr II Thermal Design. The Twin Frozr II Thermal Design has garnered unanimous praise from professional media and end-users for providing the best balance between cooling performance and lowest sound levels. With the Twin Frozr II cooler, noise output is reduced by up to 8.4dB (when compared to the reference design). More importantly, operating temperatures are reduced by up to 20°C versus other cooling solutions. Thanks to MSI Afterburner, unsurpassed clock speeds can be achieved with the combined features of the excellent Twin Frozr II Thermal Design and MSI's N580GTX and N570GTX GPU.
MSI's Exclusive Twin Frozr II Cooling Design
The MSI N500 Twin Frozr II series graphics cards feature the advanced Twin Frozr II Thermal Design. By utilizing its engineering expertise, MSI has created the ultimate Thermal Design that decreases operating temperatures by up to 20°C. The GPU spreader is covered with a large surface area heat sink with a copper base, ensuring the best possible thermal transfer surface. Surrounding components like Memory and PWM components are covered by a large unibody metal heat sink. Additionally, with MSI's SuperPipe heat pipe technology, excess heat is transferred quickly to a high density aluminum cooling fin assembly. The low-noise fan setup, which includes two temperature-controlled 8cm PWM fans, ensures excellent air flow to all parts of the Twin Frozr II Thermal Design while reducing sound levels by up to 8.4dB.
MSI's Exclusive Afterburner Overclocking Utility
MSI's exclusive Afterburner overclocking utility allows for flexible overclocking and monitoring options. MSI Afterburner allows for instant adjustment of the GPU Frequency and GPU voltages, thanks to its unique Ultra-Voltage function, a combination that allows for more headroom for overclocking. The advanced fan control function allows end-user control of fan speeds to ensure stability when required or low noise when needed. By storing up to five different fan profiles, users can quickly switch between their profiles to match any situation. MSI Afterburner also displays a wealth of information about the card like real-time temperatures, speeds, voltages, load levels, allowing users excellent supervision over their card while benchmark for ultimate stability with MSI Kombustor.
MSI Quality: All Solid Capacitors
To ensure the best stability and lifespan, MSI incorporates the best components such as All-Solid Capacitors on the N500 Twin Frozr II series graphics cards. With a rated lifespan of over 10 years under heavy load, All-Solid Capacitors are made to last a graphics cards' lifetime. Their excellent characteristics, like lowered Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR), ensure higher electrical efficiency and lower operating temperatures, providing the best possible user experience and benefit.
