Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

In normal mode, the backlight is always on and the fans start from 60 degrees, which leads to a temperature jump due to the non-instant response of the cooling system. That is, when the valves start on the machine, the card is actually slightly fried. After some time, the backlight just gets boring, and because of temperature fluctuations, questions arise - how long will the card work in this mode? To turn off the backlight, you need the MSI Gaming App program, and fine-tuning the valves (and much more) is managed by the MSI Afterburner program. The problem is that these two programs are not friendly with each other when they work at the same time - the temperature sensors readings fail, this can be seen from their periodic disappearance from the Aida64 report and FanExpert errors from Asus. As a result, I left Afterburner to control the driver and fan, and for lighting I installed the MSI LED Tool. Exe utility, developed over the hill by a person who encountered the same problems (in , go on a spree to show the link), it starts from startup under Win 10, from the registry does not start. Now it is quiet and cold, and everything is in the same strict style. When the chip is loaded for a long time at 100%, the temperature does not rise above 67, but usually 58-59. An external temperature sensor tucked between the VRM heatsink and the chip's heatsink shows 55 degrees. I think it's perfect) from 09/06/2022 To unlock the potential of the card, you need a Core i7, because The Core i5 7600k is missing about 10% at 4.2 GHz (the AATIS building assault scene in CoDIW settings is all at the maximum resolution of 1920x1080). The map is underloaded and the percentage is already 100% and FPS 60-> 35 (

Pros
  • 1. Powerful 2. Quiet 3. Cold 4. The most well-designed cooling system among analogues (separate chip, separate memory and separate VRM), which turned out to be decisive. I had to study the thermal images of all competitors to figure out who did the cooling and who had what temperatures after the bagel).
Cons
  • The program "MSI Afterburning" and "MSI Gaming App" do not work well together. More details in the comments.
