Triple Over Voltage (by Afterburner)
The World's First graphics card supports voltage adjustment of GPU, Memory, and PLL by
Afterburner. With more options to adjust, the maximum performance of R6870 can be totally
unleashed!
8+1+1 Phase PWM Design
R6870 Hawk uses 8+1+1 Phase PWM design which increases the maximum current value up
to 120A. With extra 30A current output, overclocking power capability of R6870 Hawk will be
largely improved!
Military Class Components
MSI graphics cards adopt the high quality components that meet the Military Class standard,
ensuring the best stability, longest life span, and no buzz noise under full load.
V-Check Points
V-Check point is the overclocker's favorite. Use MultiMeter to read the exact GPU and
Memory voltage value from the V-Check points directly.
Dual PWM Fans
Dual Ultra Quiet fans provide 50% better thermal efficiency and direct airflow to cool down
GPU, memory, and power module at once.
Multiple Heatpipes
Multiple Heatpipes can transfer heat much faster to the fins under the dual PWM fans, and
the fans dissipate heat directly from the fins.
High-Density Heatsink
Ultra high-density aluminum heatsink has large area for heat dissipation. Heat of GPU will
be dissipated to each fin equally.
Nickel-plated Copper base
Large copper based coated with nickel provides the fastest heat dissipation and the bigger
contact area with GPU.
1. Turn on the computer.
2. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive. The Autorun program will start the Setup
