I like the Twin Frozr cooler more. 

Aside from that, meh--don't like how it looks.

Personallt the Twin Forzr IV cooler (both revisions) are much better looking.

it looks pretty cool although a little ugly at first it's not that bad. Personally though i was much more impressed with the looks of the original 680 lightning when that came out but it would appear this one would perform a little better with the three fans. Good work MSI.

Guys, to all that say they like Twin Forzr. THIS IS TWIN FORZR!!! It's Twin Forzr 5 and it's exclusive to this card. Well, no one is gonna remember this card either way...

 

EDIT: NVM!!! Tri Forzr it's called... Ewww

something awesome would be for MSI to take the reference design of the 780/Titan and make it matte black with 2 fans instead of 1 with the MSI logo in yellow where the geforce GTX logo would be but they made this instead :3 

....that's godlike...

Wow what a feat of engineering, it's even uglier than a Gigabyte card... I expected way more.

 

Should have been a square opaque black + yellow shroud. This is gnat's piss.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

Ugly outline? Sometimes form has to follow function and you have to settle for what the laws of physics demand vs. the required performance. Ugly colour? Asus and its gold scheme now these yellow accents. It doesn't work for me but to each his own.

      The cake is a lie!!! -- but the muffins are genuine.
