The card
As noted earlier, the GTX 1070 Gaming X graphics card features MSI's famous Twin Frozr VI cooler with a total of five heatpipes, where four measure 6mm and one comes with a diameter of 8mm. Apart from that, there are two 100mm fans which cool the large heatsink connected to the nickel-plated copper base plate. As a part of the MSI Gaming series, the this particular cooler comes with a red on black color scheme and the overall build quality of the cooler is just great.
The MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X graphics card, or to be precise our sample of
it, allowed a maximum stable overclock to 2100.5 MHz
for the GPU and 2179.6 MHz on the memory side. With these clocks we had to feed the GPU
with 1.075 Volts and the memory ran at stock voltages.
A closer look at the PCB shows that MSI equipped this card with a 10+2+1 phase digital power design. The GPU gets its current from ten phases, two phases take good care of the 8GB of GDDR5 memory and two additional phase are in charge of PLL. Once more, MSI is using high quality components through and through. Checking the voltage regulation chip, we find a uP1641 controller.
The memory chips used are made by Micron and carry the model number 5XA47-D9SSX. They are specified to run at 2000 MHz (8000 MHz effective).
