Despite being inefficient, blower coolers like this one are the most aesthetically pleasing. I despise the ricer race car aesthetic that a lot of cards on the market have going on.

So would you guys say that two big fans (like an MSI cooler) is better at noise and cooling than 3 smaller fans (such as a Gigabyte Windforce or Sapphire Tri-X)?
>>
>>56588003
There's a case of diminishing returns the larger the fan becomes, but the fact that smaller fans produce more noise per airflow than larger fans, all else being equal, is much of the reason that 40mm fans went from being relatively common to being virtually extinct, and the standard case fan size going from 80mm to 120mm.

As for your scenario, you have the advantage that the three smaller fans are probably more similar to the general shape of the video card, but whether this outweighs the potentially louder noise of having three smaller fans I can't answer. Perhaps someone who owns those coolers can tell you which one is noisier.
>>
>>56587637

How is that ASUS DUAL 480?

I'm considering buying it as its the cheapest 480 in Canada, how is the noise and temps?
>>
>>56588003

I currently own an R9 280X, with a Windforce cooler, and it runs pretty loud when the GPU is 80% usage or higher. I'm thinking of going with MSI for the cooler for my next card, which may be an RX 470.

It's nice and not too loud. Fans at 50% keeping card at 70 degrees. That's the highest I could get in gaming so far. Using it with stock 8350. Nice framerates all around >80

Using Asus GPU tweak to overclock the card into "oc mode" that gives core @1320MHz

i had that for awhile, then i upgraded to the R9 290X 8GB one, the diff is black fan centers and the XFX has white LED's
not too much a fan of all the geometry they put on the 3XX series

had a 560 that looked like this, i really liked it. much better than new asus like strix, its overcomplicated and cringy with these leds n shit.

Amazing what the color scheme can do. The silver one was so horrible, but this one is simply one of the best looking cards I've ever seen.

I bought an this version of a r9 380 a few days ago, and man... what a good looking card. And it's really cool and quiet, quite surprising considering it's an AMD card.

That wasn't me. I got mine a few weeks ago. Brand new looking with the cable and all the extra papers.

I had to RMA it, so I don't know if the replacement will be new. I know stores can be a bit fuzzy in their definition of "Demo used" and "brand new". Especially when it comes to RMA situations.

That's the R9 390X2, the next version of the card. Also, the GPU's clock and memory speed is about the same as the reference R9 290, so it's still using more power than it should.

I liked the MSI Twin FROZR design so much on my 7870 that I went with it again when I bought my 1060. Motherfucker stays cool and quiet as fuck too. The fans are passive up to 50C then go up to 50% which I can only hear when the room is quiet and I'm actively listening for it. When gaming it never goes over 55 C and that's with an OC at 2100MH clock speed.
