If ever a card demonstrated the versatility of the Twin Frozr cooler, it's the GTX680. Considering we first saw this many models ago, the fact it's still capable of being utilised on the very latest high-end GPUs is a testament to the excellent design.
The Twin Frozr is one of the more attractive coolers around, and those giant heatpipes make us smile in anticipation. It's nice to see a dark PCB as well after the gaudy blue on the Gigabyte.
MSI have also kept the 6+6 stacked PCIe power arrangement we saw on the reference nVidia card.
Of course heatpipes mean nothing if you haven't got decent fans to help move the air around, and the Twin Frozr 3 has a pair of 80mm PWM fans keeping it all cool.
At the business end things remain standard with a couple of DVIs, a DisplayPort and an HDMI.
