Looks quite good


As every other major partner, MSI has launched its own version of the HD 5830 card. As you already know, this time AMD decided only to ship GPUs to its partners and let them decide on the PCB design and to go with their own cooling system. MSI has decided to go for its quite well known Twin Frozr II cooler with two fans and four heatpipes.

Other than the special cooling treatment and Hi-C Caps and Solid State Chokes, MSI's HD 5830 features the same 1120 Stream processors, 800MHz GPU clock and 1GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 4000MHz, which is practically what you'll get with almost every other HD 5830 card. It features DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.

The Twin Frozr II cooler packs a total of four heatpipes and two 80mm fans in order to cool down the heatsink that covers the GPU. When compared to other coolers, this one should end up to be cooler and more silent than the competition, but we'll see that soon enough once one of these gets reviewed.

The MSI R5830 Twin Frozr II should be available pretty soon.
