WINDFORCE Cooling System The WINDFORCE cooling system features three 80mm unique blade fans, alternate spinning, 4 composite copper heat pipes directly touch the GPU, 3D active fans and Screen cooling, which together provide high efficiency heat dissipation. Alternate Spinning Reduce the turbulence of adjacent fans and increase airflow pressure. Smooth Airflow GIGABYTE turns the adjacent fans in the opposite direction, so that the airflow direction between the two fans is the same, reducing the turbulence and enhancing the airflow pressure. 3D Active Fan The 3D Active Fan provides semi-passive cooling, and the fans will remain off when the GPU is in a low load or low power game. Unique Blade Fan The airflow is spilt by the triangular fan edge, and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface. Graphene Nano Lubricant Graphene nano lubricant can extend the life of sleeve bearing fan by 2.1 times, close to the life of double ball bearing, and is quieter. Screen Cooling Extended heatsink allows air to pass through, providing better heat dissipation. Direct Touch Heat Pipes The shape of the copper heat pipe maximises the direct contact area with the GPU. The heat pipe also covers the VRAM through a large metal plate contact to ensure proper cooling. Protective Metal Backplate The metal back plate not only provides an aesthetical shape, but also enhances the structure of the graphics card to provide complete protection. Ultra Durable Ultra Durable certified highest-grade metal chokes, lower ESR solid capacitors, 2oz copper PCB, and lower RDS(on) MOSFETs, plus over-temperature design to deliver superior performance and longer system life. Friendly PCB Design Fully automated production process ensures top quality of the circuit boards and eliminates sharp protrusions of the solder connectors seen on the conventional PCB surface. This friendly design prevents your hands from getting cut or inadvertently damaging components when making your build.
