Protagonist:
The MSI RTX 4070 SUPER 12G GAMING X SLIM MLG GRAPHICS CARD IS UNDOUBTEDLY AN OUTSTANDING PRODUCT THAT INHERITS THE UNIQUE DESIGN CONCEPT OF THE MSI MAGIC DRAGON SERIES. This graphics card is dominated by a deep black color, which exudes an understated and luxurious atmosphere. The surface is subtly embellished with the classic GAMING IR sleeve, as if to tell people that it is not only a high-performance graphics card, but also a symbol of fashion and taste.
The design on the back of the RTX4070 Super Witch PCB is ingenious, with a full-size alloy backplate. This backplate is not simply a sheet of metal, but has been carefully crafted to achieve both aesthetics and practicality. The alloy backplate not only increases the strength of the graphics card and makes it more stable, but also effectively prevents the PCB from bending and deforming. In gaming, graphics cards need to run under high loads, and without adequate support, the PCB can easily bend, causing circuits to short circuit or components to fall off. The addition of alloy backplate makes this problem effectively solved.
On the 4070 Super Witch graphics card, MSI gave it a unique giveaway - an excessive amount of metal "patch". Yes, you read that right, this patch is delicately engraved with the laser pattern of the Demon Dragon Queen, which is full of nobility and mystery. In terms of material, this patch is made of pure metal, which is full of texture. Its design concept is very user-friendly, six strong magnetic patches correspond to the graphics card backplate screws, cleverly realize that there is no need to screw to remove the backplane, easy to paste, change the mood.
The 4070S has a lightweight and slim design concept, and its measurements are 305×130×45mm, which makes it thick and only occupies two PCIe slots. This feature allows MLG Little Witch to have a wider range of space requirements, maximize performance with the lowest footprint, and bring users an excellent gaming experience.
NVIDIA's RTX 40 series graphics cards are identical to the RTX 30 series in terms of PCB design, with a length of only 170mm. The compact size improves space utilization, and the short PCB size also makes the manufacturer's thermal design more friendly. It is also more compact in terms of power supply.
MSI is equipped with a 9+2-phase DrMos pure digital power supply solution, of which 2 phases are dedicated to providing independent power supply for the video memory, which further enhances the stability and durability of the graphics card. In order to meet the power supply needs of the new generation of graphics cards, the graphics card is equipped with a new 16pin Gen5 power supply interface and provides users with dual 8-to-16 adapter cables. This connector can provide up to 300W of power supply, which fully meets the power needs of the 4070 SUPER and also provides redundancy for overclocking.
The thermal design of MSI RTX40 series graphics cards is one of its major features, and the TRI-FROZR3 cooling system of Little Witch not only has powerful heat dissipation performance, but also pursues the ultimate aesthetic in the appearance design. At the heart of the TRI-FROZR3 cooling system is a unique three-stage heatsink fin, which takes full advantage of the aerodynamics to allow for smoother airflow and thus improved heat dissipation efficiency. At the same time, this design also greatly reduces the space occupied by the heatsink, making the overall appearance of the graphics card more compact and beautiful.
In order to achieve better heat dissipation, the TRI-FROZR3 cooling system also uses a nickel-plated copper base combined with four nickel-plated pure copper heat pipes with a diameter of 6mm. These heat pipes are interspersed between the heatsink fins and quickly transfer heat generated by the GPU cores and memory particles to the various parts of the heatsink. This design not only greatly improves the heat dissipation efficiency, but also effectively reduces the operating temperature of the graphics card and ensures the stability of the graphics card during long-term high-load operation.
The three blade 7th generation sickle fans with a diameter of 9cm on the front are not inferior. These fan blades have a unique "33-connected" structure that forms a non-completely enclosed ring. Coupled with the 22-degree inclination design, it not only increases airflow and air pressure to ensure efficient heat dissipation, but also reduces unwanted noise by improving airflow stability.
