Several key features translate themselves into the following design changes. First off, and I know you guys get a little nauseated when you hear the phrase 'Military Class components', but hear me out. Next to the custom PCB, MSI not only used the very best components on this graphics cards. And sure that's a lot of marketing but MSI follows US Department of Defense MIL-PRF-39003L guidelines in terms of build quality and heat levels, that's the reason behind the 'Military class' components. Such components are quality capacitors, Hi-C (Tantalum core) caps and Solid Core chokes. We all know it by now but using such components will reduce heat levels, increases life-span but also help in two other ways, better overclocking and stability.
Power design then, the Radeon HD 5770 HAWK comes with a custom PCB and a 7+1 phase PWM design, you get 7 phases on the GPU. To sompare that little -- that's 4 for the reference model. And then one phase on the memory.
V-check points -- Always funny to see are little additional extra's for real enthusiasts, you'll notice two jumper like positions on the graphics card (we'll show you in our photo-shoot) on which you can plug a cable (delivered with the card), pop your multimeter in there and now you can monitor voltages fired off at the GPU and there's a checkpoint for the memory as well.
Cooling -- the MSI 5770 HAWK comes with the all new Twin Frozr II cooling solution. A heatpipe based system that has dual PWM fans blowing over three heat pipes.The cooling solution also extends further, underneath the heatpipe cooler you'll notice a Memory/MOSFET heatsink as well. MSI claims to have a 13 degrees C cooler temperature over the reference design.

EVEN WITH AC!!!!!AC! AC!
El Salvador, central America.... right now it should be winter but erghm... its like summer now xD dam!!!Where do you live? Its probably time to try a water lop lol.
yeah, gtx 480 is not a good idea here xD LOL!!!!Imagine a GTX480.. BURNNN!!!!
You COULD move out of the equator, or use a table fan to blow at the card...
LOOOL!!! but thats for you only, here, get a flight to US is like 2K xDLOL, ironically the top ad banner says "Central America & Caribbeans $79 round trip from United Airlines"
Opportunity much?
