Patented in Japan and Germany, Propeller Blade Technology offers 20% increased airflow & an expanded cooling range
Fri, 05 Aug 2011
Crysis 2, the AAA-title game known to be a graphics card killer, has got the blood of gamers boiling with excitement after the recent release of the Crysis 2 Ultra upgrade with DirectX 11 and high resolution upgrade patches! But gamers, have you noticed that under high performance graphic loads, while battling it out with enemies in close quarter combat, insufficient graphics card cooling leads to system instability, crashes, and a huge reduction in game play enjoyment? Globally renowned mainboard and graphics card manufacturer MSI recently introduced its exclusive Propeller Blade Technology, vastly improving graphics cooling performance. Patented in Japan and Germany, Propeller Blade Technology provides 20% increased airflow and wider vent angles, and when compared to standard fan designs it can reduce temperatures by as much as 21 degrees and preserve maximum operating stability, ensuring games will never again crash due to overheating!
Exclusive Propeller Blade Technology
To prevent game crashes due to overheating, the craftsmanship of the graphics card manufacturers' cooling design must also be considered. Over the past few years, MSI has devoted itself to strengthening graphics card thermal designs. The widely praised Twin Frozr dual fan series has been unanimously approved by both media and gamers around the world, and this year, with the release of the latest generation Twin Frozr III and Cyclone II series, MSI offers the most advanced Propeller Blade Technology, giving MSI graphics cards stable operation under high loads. Recently, Propeller Blade Technology obtained patent rights in Japan and Germany, demonstrating in every way the R&D strength of MSI graphics card cooling solutions and the absolute capability to meet consumers' graphics card cooling requirements.
Compared to traditional fan blades, the arc of the Propeller Blade features a smaller curved angle that produces more airflow. Because of this, Propeller Blades can produce 20% more airflow compared to fan blades of the same size with identical rotational speed. Propeller Blade edges feature a smoother, more curved design and a glossy, satin surface treatment to reduce air resistance and lower fan noise. In a comparison of identical airflow, fan noise produced by Propeller Blades was lower than traditional fan blades and the cooling module was quieter. Along with a unique airflow channel and an inner blade with shrunken arc design, airflow angles become larger, expanding the airflow coverage surface area to rapidly remove heat from the graphics card core and peripheral components.
In a comparison of the R6870 Hawk with Twin Frozr III cooling design and the standard HD 6870 graphics card, the R6870 Hawk was 21 degrees cooler and 7dB quieter, proving MSI’s Propeller Blade Technology is the best cooling solution among current graphics cards.
Select from a range of productsMSI's exclusive Propeller Blade technology is featured on the all-new Twin Frozr III and Cyclone II thermal solutions, including high-end items like the N580GTX/R6970 Lightning graphics cards and the market's most popular N560GTX-Ti/R6870 Hawk series. MSI graphics cards featuring Propeller Blade Technology are the first choice for gamers seeking high performance cooling.
