MSI GeForce GTX 670 Power Edition Video Card Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

The video presents an unboxing and first look at the MSI GeForce GTX 670 Power Edition. The host highlights the card’s standout feature: triple voltage as part of an enhanced power delivery design that enables overvolting beyond reference GTX 670 boards. He explains that this capability allows overclocking via MSI Afterburner, which is noted as a key tool for pushing performance, while acknowledging that he cannot guarantee overclock results. The reviewer compares the MSI implementation to reference designs, emphasizing the non-reference PCB layout with beefier power components and a redesigned power delivery system. He also walks through the Twin Frozr 4 cooler, describing its evolution from earlier Twin Frozr generations with features like optimized fan blades, reduced turbulence, and dust reduction by spinning the fans in reverse briefly at startup. The unboxing portion covers included accessories, such as the DVI to VGA adapter, driver disc, and manuals, before shifting focus to the card itself. A major portion of the discussion is dedicated to the card’s physical design, including a full-board Uni-Sync PCB that improves structural rigidity and cooling, with thermal pads spreading heat from memory chips and other components. In terms of capabilities, the host notes support for NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround on a single card, the ability to run up to four-way SLI, and the advantages of a non-reference PCB for better power delivery and layout flexibility. The video concludes with a recap of the card’s strengths for overclocking, cooling, and multi-monitor setups, inviting viewers to subscribe for more unboxings and tech videos.
