MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming X review - Product Showcase

During our testing we noticed the card hovering at the 180 Watts range for power consumption, under full load that is. That is slightly higher compared to reference, yet in reality due to the factory overclock and all the lovely extras. The TwinFrozr has been revamped as well and now is at revision VI, it's as always impressive in both cooling performance as well as its low noise-levels. The card remains passive, as up-to a GPU temperature of 60 Degrees C the fans do not even spin. The fans (Torx) used are a new revision and should also offer a bit more airflow. MSI will try to force as much performance out of the cards at a maximum cooling threshold of roughly 70 Degrees C for this 1070 model with the TwiNFrozr series VI cooler. It also has some new LED functionality which we;ll show you in some photos as well.
  

The GeForce GTX 1070 is roughly 11 inches in length which is 28 cm so it should fit comfortably in pretty much any decent chassis. Precise measurements btw are 279x140x42mm. 
  

 


Above the TwinFrozr VI cooler stripped away, you'll notice that MSI placed extra shielding heatsinks over the GDDR5 memory as well as a heatsink directly on top of the VRM area. Good stuff alright. The PCB board design is custom from MSI build upon their Military Class IV standard. It is a bit of marketing yes, but the component selection does follow MIL-STD-810G certification, these components have proven to be able to withstand the torturous circumstances in both gaming and overclocking. The GPU empowering the product is called the A1 revision of the GP104-200 GPU
 
 

For those that wonder, the board is equipped with Samsung GDDR5 memory ICs. An actual 10 phase power supply is responsible for supplying the GP104-200 GPU with power. The card (with cooler) weights 1100g.
  

 
RGB LEDs are a bit of a trend and like everybody MSI is following. They did it right and subtle though. The LED system can be controlled individually by choosing any of the animation effects available in the MSI Gaming App, ranging from responding to your game sounds or music to steady light, breathing and flashing. Of course, you can also turn them off.
 

 
And yes, I do think that is a terrific looking product with the red accents and all matte black. And this isn't even the top-tier Z model just yet. New is the LED array located at the rear fan, it looks pretty good in twilight and dark environments.
