MSI GTX 670 Power Edition Twin Frozr 4 cooler! - Page 2

That's the thing though, it really seems to be a gamble, which it shouldn't be. Usually we're talking about gambles with the overclocking potential. This time it's a gamble to get the card working out of the box!

Looks like it's available for purchase. Wonder how it'll stack up with the rest of the 670's. Coming in at the same price as ASUS' TOP Card.

Thinking about getting one of these since my replacement for the non-TOP will not get in stock. I wish i knew what the back of these PE cards looked like (by the time I find out I'm sure it will be out of stock) the main reason I like the non-TOP and TOP cards is that sexy backplate.

I'm sure the fan noise on this will be nearly identical as the 7970 Lightning.

wow, just looked at some reviews on the 7970 Lightening. If fan noise on these cards are that bad, then I don't see the appeal of them.

And I too had to return my ASUS TOP card. It was stable at first out of the box, then issues kept cropping up and the fan started to develop an annoying whine around the 60-70% speed mark. I ordered a Gigabyte today as a replacement, hopefully that doesn't give me any issues. I do agree the ASUS design is second to none though, but if I can get a working card for $30 less and am hoping for some decent OC potential, then id say it's a better deal.

Yeah, if Gigabyte would just make a black PCB I would get it no doubt. Don't quote me on the fan noise though, but that is the latest release from MSI that would be comparble, I'll wait till actual benchmarks come out before I just dive in and purchase this PE, I'm just on edge from waiting for a couple weeks now for my ASUS card. Ansy if you will.

If the backplate is really important to you, you could always go this route:

would come out to the same price as the non-TOP ASUS.

So just to confirm this. You cant change the voltage on this card?

Power Editions are all about votage adjustments and over clocking. Looks like a great GTX 670.

Thats why I was confused. I've heard that the 600 series doesnt support overvolting.

The only thing I can assume is MSI unlocked the voltage on their design?
