In addition, this exclusive heat sink design increases heat sink surface area, greatly enhancing the dissipation efficiency.
<b>SuperSU PIPE</b>
Enhanced dissipation efficiency
SuperSU Architecture is the best cooling solution for graphics cards. The GPU is cooled by a massive nickel-plated copper base plate connected to Super Pipes (8mm heat pipes) on the MSI GAMING series graphics card. Additionally, the new heat pipe layout increases efficiency by reducing the length of unused heat pipe and a special SU-form design.
<b>ZERO FROZR</b>
