• Reinforced backplate
• Zero Frozr technology

Zero Frozr can stop the fans during sufficiently light workloads, reducing unnecessary fan noise when the GPU does not require active cooling.

TORX FAN 5.0

MSI's TORX FAN 5.0 design is engineered to improve airflow through the heatsink.

• Ring-linked fan blades
• Optimized airflow
• Improved air pressure
• Designed for efficient GPU cooling
• Two-fan configuration

This cooling design helps the SHADOW 2X remain compact while maintaining the thermal performance required by the RTX 5060 Ti.
