This isn't a retail cooler, is a prototype MSI uses for testing purposes, further explanation on http://videocardz.com/48339/msi-shows-translucent-prototype-twinfrozr-cooler

^THIS^ Another 3 days late and 3 dollars short Tom's. That aside, those plastic supports behind the fan just scream to me "Blocked AIR FLOW!" anyways.

Remember our post of the transparent test cooler last week? Here is the final result for our upcoming R9 290X GAMING which uses our most potent Twin Frozr IV cooler to date, who’s waiting for one of these cool R9 290’s? : https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/1460202_663588840329616_491753289_n.jpg

Come on. You posted an old article after the new information came out, and didn't even include it?

Pfff
The fan blades aren't even transparent.

 

[Darklyspectre]

the original post from MSI said it's a PROTOTYPE and not a product. This was like a week or two ago?

Now like 3-4 days ago MSI showed the finished product which is the MSI 290X which isn't transparant.

I am completely done with this website. All info is days old hell in this case WEEKS old. and then it's wrong info.

Tom's hardware the authority on tech? Couldn't be more wrong.

and if that is indeed transparent (final product, let's assume), they better make it removable, otherwise good luck cleaning it. It will have enough dirt to farm on in 2 months

 

[lp231]

none transparent - can't see that much dirt, even though there is lots of dirt.
transparent - not much dirt, but a little amount of dirt = lots of dirt.
In the end it will take 2 years to clean out every micron of dirt with a tiny brush, when viewing under a microscope.

A much better word would be translucent.

QQ much ?

Just an update on this one. After the prototype (the transparent one), this one is the final product. It's from MSI's website.

Copy much?
Looks like EVGA's Kingpin 780ti

Prototype or no, the cover might be transparent, but the copper underneath (the real cooler, e.g. the heat-sink) isn't...

Against my better judgement I bought an msi card with the twinfrozr cooling. What a mistake! Loud rattling fan right out of the box, what a junker.

Avoid these cards.

i bought a 7950 twin frozr for $205 from newegg a couple months back and it has been a really solid card. dead silent compared to my tahiti le and also overclocks and overvolts very well, sorry beardguy about your luck but just RMA it and consider it part of the pleasure of building your own system.
