After it was installed on various other MSI graphics solutions, the Twin Frozr III cooler has finally made it to the GTX 570, as the company has just announced the introduction of the factory overclocked N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition video card.

MSI states that its Twin Frozr III custom cooling solution is able to maintain the card about 18 degrees C cooler, and up to 7.7 dB quieter, than reference models while it also delivers an improved overclocking headroom.

The overall better performances are possible thanks to the use of no less than five copper heapipes (two are 8mm SuperPipes) that drive the GPU heat into a large aluminum heatsink.

On top of the heatsink, MSI has installed two specially designed 80mm PWN fans, which allow for a 20% higher airflow compared to the fans on the Twin Forzr II.

In addition, their speed can be controlled via a P/S switch that can select between the Performance and the Silent operation modes.

As for the graphics card itself, this features a 6+1 phase power design, Military Class II components and triple (GPU, memory, VDDCI) over-voltage support.

Its operating frequencies are set at 770MHz for the core and 1000MHz (4000MHz data rate) for the memory, but MSI states this can be further improved through overclocking the card.

MSI's N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition is available right now for purchase and Newegg has it listed at $369.99 without shipping.

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 is based on the same GF110 core as that used for the company's single GPU flagship, the GTX 580, and packs 480 stream processors, 60 texturing units, 40 ROP units and a 320-bit memory bus which is connected to 1.25GB of GDDR4 video buffer.
