The card
There are not much surprises here as with the GTX 760 MINI-ITX, MSI decided
to use the new mini cooler, which is almost identical to the cooler ASUS is
using on their mini GTX 760. Cooling performance of this particular model is
rather good, but can't be compared with coolers on oversized graphics cards,
like for instance the massive Twin Frozr IV Advanced. Still the results achieved
are remarkable and especially if you consider the high typical boost clock, you
realize that it definitely not a bad cooler.
The custom PCB behind the new mini cooler packs 4+1-phase design with four
phases for the GPU and SFC and single phase for for the memory, R47. It has an
analogue power design with NCP5392P voltage regulation chip for the GPU, APL1117
PLL voltage regulator chip, 25X20 memory voltage regulator chip and Power MOSFET
that are speccd for
30V and 78A.
As noted earlier, the memory chips used are made by Elpida and carry the
model number W2032BBBG-60-F. They are specified to run at 1'502 MHz (6'008 MHz
effective).
