No graphic card review is complete without evaluating its temperatures and thermal load. The MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Gaming is fitted with the most advanced version of the Twin Frozr VI cooling design. The latest Frozr VI cooler features a massive heatsink with multiple heatpipes which extend beyond the aluminum fin based design that lead towards the incredibly dense heatsink block. The card comes with PWM cooling and an anti-bending plate that keeps the card sturdy and durable in the most harshest environments inside your PC.
The patented Torx fan 2.0 design and Zero Frozr technology featured on this card make sure that it delivers the best cooling performance and best acoustics while operating.
Note – We tested load with Kombuster which is known as ‘Power viruses’ and can permanently damage hardware. Use such software at your own risk!
