MSI Revives Its Single-Fan Cyclone Series Starting With An Overclocked GeForce RTX 4060
MSI wants to keep its lineup fresh, and is giving us a special GPU with the GeForce RTX 4060 Cyclone OC. It is part of the Cyclone series, which first made a splash more than a decade ago in earlier NVIDIA GPUs. With a singular-fan design, it promises to keep the GPU cool while looking aesthetically interesting and maintaining a compact form factor.
This two-slot design is small enough to fit in many small-form factor PCs, but keep in mind the airflow path to give it proper breathing room. It still packs the same 8GB of VRAM as always, but is overclocked to 2,505 MHz from the factory.
While gamers anxiously await NVIDIA's GeForce RTX Super refresh, GPUs such as this help to keep the GeForce RTX 4060 lineup fresh. Since the Super refresh will likely only feature higher-end GPUs such as the GeForce RTX 4070 Super, the GeForce RTX 4060 is a safer bet for those looking to keep budget in mind.
