The TriFrozr cooling solution is first made up of three fans. Two of which are black and one that is yellow. There is a black shroud with yellow lightning accents. Beneath that is a massive aluminum fin array. From the photos it looks like there are seven heatpipes. The cooler is designed so the center yellow fan dissipates heat off the PWM and the other two fans cool the GPU and memory chips.
