The MSI Vortex G65VR 7RF gaming desktop is now available in India, and it does come for a price. Here is the review of MSI Vortex G65VR 7RFwith GTX 1080 GPU. Key highlight of G65VR is that this powerful beast is packed inside a 6.5 litre body – in other words it is near about the size of a gaming console.
MSI Vortex G65VR 7RF Unboxing
The box is slim and from that you will get an idea about the desktop size, specifications are clearly mentioned on the box. Inside you will get the desktop, power cord, user manual, warranty card and recovery CD.
MSI Vortex G65VR 7RF Design and Features
This desktop looks unique, very compact and will blend well in any room, in fact you would want to show-off (usually we hide the Desktop Unit). This hardware is packed inside a 6.5 litre and 27.8cm high chassis, this includes everything – you just need to plug in the power cord.
There is single button on the Vortex and there are couple of ports on the back. Another unique thing is the LEDs on the desktop those are RGB, you can change that as per your choice. The Vortex is using Storm Cooling technology that is a revolutionary cooling method of extreme gaming – there is a gap below from where air is sucked in and thrown out from the top. So cool air gets sucked in from the bottom and thrown out from the top, thereby cooling the internals.
It is a known fact that Gaming Desktops make noise on an average the gaming desktop sound is 65dB but on the MSI Vortex it is under 37dB, it is really low when compared.
The power supply unit is 80plus Gold certified – more safe, provides stable current and consumers less power plus generates less noise.
This MSI Vortex Gaming Desktop supports Nahmic VR/ Nahimic 2, comes with killer doubleshot X3 Pro, XSplit Gamecaster and WTFast (gamers private network).

MSI Vortex G65VR 7RF Performance
The best thing I liked about this Vortex is the size and the operational noise. The noise is quite low, in normal mode hardly audible, but in turbo / extreme mode you can hear the fans (storm cooling) roaring, but still that is way too low when compared with a traditional gaming desktop.
