The card’s blower guides air-flow laterally by way of an aluminium fin-channel heatsink that is not hidden beneath a cooler shroud, however fairly extends all the best way out to the thickness of the cardboard, with its top-plate having some finnage of its personal. Much just like the ASUS card, the MSI AERO makes use of two 8-pin PCIe energy connectors which can be positioned its tail-end, fairly than on the high. Only half of the cardboard’s reverse facet is roofed by a back-plate, meant to chill the reminiscence chips positioned there. The different half is naked PCB. This has been achieved to make it simpler for an adjoining card to breathe. The card in any other case sticks to NVIDIA-reference clock-speeds for the RTX 3090. The firm did not reveal pricing.
