Next-gen GPUs aren't around at Computex, but MSI's got a taste of what they might look like

MSI's next-gen cooling concept.

Asus might be sticking 24 carat gold into its mice to celebrate its 20th anniversary and Gigabyte is slapping satellite-grade metals onto its motherboards for its own anniversary, but it's a diamond anniversary for MSI as it's jamming smooshed up diamonds into its next-gen GPU cooling solutions.

The next-gen graphics card cooler MSI had on-show at Computex today is a concept design for what the cards of tomorrow (or rather 2027 at the earliest) could look like. The new cooling feature set is estimated to cut maybe four degrees centigrade off the peak temperatures of a high-end GPU, but every little counts.

Those new features in short:

  • Full metal fan blades
  • Rifled heat pipes
  • Diamond-composite thermal pads
  • Diamond-copper composite contact plate
