MSI RTX 2070 Armor Review
Temperatures and Power Draw

Power Draw and Temperatures
Despite regularly besting the GTX 1070Ti, the RTX 2070 is actually very frugal in power draw terms. It often matched the Vega RX64, but at half the power draw at the wall! The benefits of the cooler are felt in our temperature graph with the Armor remaining cool even when we were thrashing the nuts off it.

Because MSI always have to give their cards stupid names is why. I mean Duke?

Asian companies, and Asian market in general don't have the same concept of what "cool" is, compared to western world. Nor does everything translates especially well to english. It is much more obvious with companies that are predominantly focusing Asian market. It is literally a different world. I can give you an example of e-sports team names like Royal Never Give Up, or Detonation Focus Me. Those names have no logic for western world, but it is quite popular to combine words like that in China or Japan. So stupid for us doesn't mean they see it that way.Quote
Well I for one am glad that MSI have listened to feedback from their customers and improved the cooling capabilities of their Armour cards as the Pascal coolers were pretty bad, whereas now those on a more limited budget can buy a card that will perform pretty well without getting too hot.

I'd have tossed out that brand name years ago as soon as anyone realised that there is the whole Armour/Armor thing going on. They could have called it Shield or something.
Whenever I type anything to do with these cards I always need to double check to make sure it is spelt incorrectly (The UK spelling is Armour).Quote
