Hands-on: Transthermal Feature on MSI's Graphics Card

We visited the MSI booth at Computex 2012 to test its new Transthermal fan feature that made its debut on the MSI HD 7770 Power Edition graphics card.

With MSI Transthermal design, the fan casing that sits over the fanstack of the graphics card cooler has been redesigned in an innovative way.

With the Transthermal feature, the 120mm fans, with their blue mounting brackets, can be mounted side-by-side, or stacked on top of each other.
