MSI will attend the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow, the international CES in Lss Vegas in January, 2010. MSI will be showing off the all new R5870 Lightning, R5850 Cyclone, and R5770 Hawk series.
First Exposure of R5870 Lightning in the World
MSI Lightning series have smashed lots of world records after launch. To fulfill the demand of extreme overclockers and hardcore games, now MSI evolves Lightning series into ATI series and introduces R5870 Lightning, built to break world records. To complete ultimate overclocking, R5870 Lightning is designed with 10-layer wider PCB and 13 phase PWM for GPU to greatly enhance overclocking capability and performance.
Moreover, the thermal design of R5870 Lightning uses Twin Frozr II thermal design with SuperPipe technology. Twin Frozr II is equipped with two 8cm large size fans, 5 heatpipes, and high density fins to effectively dissipate heat from GPU, memory, and power module area. With Twin Frozr II thermal design, cooling efficiency and overclocking stability will be reinforced. Applied with “Military Class” components, R5870 Lightning is the best choice for utmost overclocking.
Extra Large Fan of R5850 Cyclone
MSI provides own design R5850 Cyclone with 9cm extra large fan to reach higher cooling efficiency. Due to the large fan design, it can offer huge airflow and low temperature for overclocking. Compared to the fan on reference design, 9cm fan only generate half noise with ultra low RPM. R5850 Cyclone gives users silent working environment and overclocking capability. Besides, all components of R5850 Cyclone are “Military Class” with SSC, Hi-c Cap, and Solid Cap to offer best stability and longer product lifetime.
A Combination of Strength and Speed - Hawk Series
As the Lightning series is built for extreme overclockers and hardcore gamers, the Hawk series is designed for overclockers and gamers who like more premium features and components on the card. Different from reference HD 5770 with 5 phase PWM, R5770 Hawk is equipped with 8 phase PWM to offer more power to GPU for better overclocking capability. For better cooling efficiency, R5770 Hawk adopts Twin Frozr II, which covers most of components, including GPU, memory, and power module. Especially for overclocking, R5770 Hawk is built with V-check point to let users easily measure the voltage of GPU/Memory. Through MSI exclusive overclocking utility, Afterburner, users can adjust the voltage of GPU and customized the fan speed based on different temperature points.
