Take Flight This limited edition of the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3090 features a completely white colorway on top of all the generational improvements to the ROG Strix series. Now's your chance to build a high-end white-themed gaming rig with the latest in graphics technology. Axial-tech Upgrades Our Axial-tech fan design is optimized for a new, larger heatsink that features more fins and surface area than last gen. The blade count is increased on all three fans, with 13 on the center fan and 11 on the auxiliary fans. The barrier ring on the side fans is slimmed down to allow for more lateral intake and to provide better airflow through the cooling array. The center fan's extra blades and full-height ring provide boosted static pressure to blast air directly onto the GPU heat spreader. New Directions To bolster the specialized roles of the center and auxiliary fans, the rotational direction of the center fan is reversed. This reduces air turbulence inside the cooling array for another boost to overall thermal performance. The fans also shut off completely when card power consumption is low and the GPU temperature falls beneath 50 Celsius, keeping noise levels down when the system is idling or under a light load. The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die for enhanced thermal transfer.
