<\/a><\/p>\nThe new generation of the cooler Tri Frozr (2) with Torx 4.0 fans is characterized by a few changes, which mainly concern the fans themselves. After testing different formats and combinations on previous generations of MSI graphics cards, all fans now have a uniform 90 mm format, with all of them rotating in the same direction from right to left. But the main thing that has changed is the shape of the rotor. It did not change much in the last two generations of Tri Frozr and has not undergone significant adjustments until now.<\/p>\n
The blades are straight (previously curved in the middle) and smooth-surfaced, without ridges, which contributed to a more laminar air flow across the heatsink. MSI wants to achieve this now, but in a different way. Namely, so that the blades are joined in pairs at the ends, which is also supported by a shiny surface. On a very theoretical level, this could help to achieve higher static pressure required to effectively push air through a massive radiator. The leading edges of the radiator fins are, by the way, jagged to achieve the most favorable cooling performance\/noise ratio.<\/p>\n
The back of the graphics card is covered by a massive backplate with a perforated back. However, it is implemented differently than it was on the recently tested RTX 3070 Gaming X. The PCB is significantly longer in this case and no longer allows the fan to blow the air along the whole structure. The perforated parts are thus here rather for more or less spontaneous heat escape from behind the space of the power phase design.<\/p>\n The RTX 3090 Gaming X has three 6+2-pin connectors for external power supply, which are located on the side of the card and are also slightly embedded in the body. And that’s good, because this graphics card with 140 mm is extra wide. The construction of the connectors and the bending of the cables adds roughly one and half centimeters, which must be taken into account before choosing a smaller case. In many dual-chamber cases, which have the interior divided by a vertical partition, you will not succeed with the RTX 3090 Gaming X.<\/p>\n The output selection is represented by three DisplayPorts (1.4a) and one HDMI (1.4a). All four connectors can be used simultaneously, and as we’re near the blanking plate, it should be noted that it is perforated, which can be beneficial for cooling as it’s a 370-watt card.<\/p>\n Although the card is large, it should be noted that among the RTX 3090 series it has “only” an average height. This means that although it successfully blocks the third slot, it no longer interferes with the fourth, which is not limited it in any way. In other words, there are also higher RTX 3090 cards, where it can be a bigger struggle when installing expansion cards.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
