Hyper Frozr Thermal Design

An innovative evolution of advanced thermal design that combines fans, core pipes, vapour chamber, and optimised fin shape to unleash unparalleled cooling efficiency and silent performance.

STORMFORCE FAN
The STORMFORCE Fan features seven claw-textured blades designed to enhance air pressure, while a circular arc optimizes airflow for superior cooling, minimal noise, and exceptional performance. Built with durable double ball bearings, ensuring long-lasting reliability and smooth operation, even under intense usage.

Advanced Vapour Chamber
The built-in Vapor Chamber quickly absorbs heat from the GPU and VRAM, efficiently and uniformly transferring it to the core pipe for optimal heat dissipation.

Optimised Heat dissipation
Core pipes feature a square-shaped contact area, engineered for maximum heat capture in conjunction with the Vapour Chamber, enhancing overall cooling efficiency.

Airflow Control
Strategically designed heatsink fins disrupt unwanted airflow harmonics while minimising noise.

A Touch of Personality

Drawing inspiration from the mighty turbines of futuristic spacecraft, merging carbon fiber accents with stunning RGB control, the MSI GeForce RTX 5080 VANGUARD SOC embodies cutting-edge Sci-Fi innovation, inviting gamers to journey into the endless expanse.

Bold RGB Flair
Sleek carbon fiber accents combine with a sophisticated RGB lighting system, seamlessly blending direct and ambient illumination to create a vibrant, immersive design. This perfect harmony of durability and brilliance captures the essence of adventure, redefining modern high-tech aesthetics.

Optimised Airflow
Dedicated airflow channels and fracture lines help to drive airflow directly into the fans helping to ensure efficiency and reliability.

Full Length Metal Backplate
With spaceship-inspired contours, the metal backplate blends futuristic design with impressive functionality, boasting an expansive flow tunnel to minimise heat and enhance performance.

Hardening Every Detail

Your Support Character
This GPU comes bundled with a handy support stand, to help evenly distribute the weight of your GPU and reduce issues with sag.
