The MSI RTX 4060 Cyclone graphics card represents a recent addition to MSI's lineup, featuring a cooler design reminiscent of those used in the Nvidia GeForce GTX 600 and AMD Radeon HD6000 series. Currently, it is only available on MSI's Taiwanese website, and its availability in other regions remains unclear. This graphics card model forgoes a traditional shroud in favor of a cooling system similar to stock coolers on Intel or AMD CPUs. It distinguishes itself with heatpipes extending from the main cooling block, augmented by additional heatsinks. MSI introduces a design variation by adding gold accents and a brushed gold finish on the backplate, contrasting with the standard black or gray typically seen on Cyclone cards.
The RTX 4060 Cyclone occupies two expansion slots and has dimensions of 163 mm in length and 124 mm in height, primarily due to the protruding heatpipes. The product specifications indicate a boost clock of 2,490 MHz, extendable to 2,505 MHz using MSI Center software. It requires a single 8-pin power connector and has a maximum power consumption of 115 W.
Currently, the RTX 4060 Cyclone is exclusive to the Taiwanese market, with no official information regarding its release in other regions. This graphics card presents a unique cooling solution and design within MSI's range of products.
