The famous DirectCU and Twin Frozr graphics card cooling solution from ASUS and MSI are well known for being superior compared to reference heatsink. Now how about comparing both side by side? Placing them on the same graphics card, under the same environment, etc. Which of them yield better performance? Lower noise? What do you think?

No surprise that ASUS Mars II will be a heat monster and king of power hungry graphics card. ASUS ROG R&D Team must have putting extremely lot of effort in designing this masterpiece, squeezing two GTX580 core in single PCB with twice number of phase power of GTX590 graphics card. No deny that the GPU has reached high mark on temperature reading, however, by replacing stock thermal paste with 3rd party thermal paste and place them in proper ventilated casing will definitely helps, nevertheless, this graphics card is rather more of a collectible item, only 1000 units will be made in the world, so GRAB IT BEFORE TOO LATE!

There’s no doubt that the MSI R6990 is the fastest and the most powerful ATI graphics card ever produced by MSI and it really does deliver what it should deliver. Those in intense need of graphics performance should really consider this graphics card seriously, be it intense gaming session or other graphics needs, it can do the job impressively. To obtain this powerful card, the price u need to pay for a MSI flagship graphics card is quite expensive. Well, u get what you pay. However, i would like to point out that the cooling system of this graphics card is not sufficient. At default speed and stock voltage, the load temperature (when stressing) reached 82 degree. That’s kinda on the high side to me. Nevertheless, do take note that during stressing, the graphics card loading at 100% operation. Now i believe there’s very little game could push this card to the max. Overall, it’s a great card minus the temperature thingy.

MSI graphic cards are known to be good among overclockers especially the Lightning Edition. Lightning Edition is top of the line of each product line.
The Lightning edition is undoubtedly good and this review is about GTX580 Lightning Xtreme Edition which i believe the improved version of GTX580 Lightning, better under extreme condition, perhaps? But too bad this review was done just on air.

There’s a lot to like about Corsair’s Dominator GT 2133MHz kit. The best part would be the specifications, it’s just superb. Cranking up the clocks and performance is pretty handy. The heatsink is top notch and the red & black colour-scheme added extra flavor to the kit.
