Product details

The WINDFORCE 2X cooling system features two unique 100 mm blade fans, an alternating spinning fan design, pure copper composite heat pipes with Direct-Touch GPU, an angled fin design, a semi-passive 3D active fan, and an advanced copper backplate with heat pipe, all working together to provide effective heat dissipation for higher performance at lower temperatures.

The pure copper heat pipes are shaped to maximize the direct contact area with the GPU for improved heat transfer.

Excess heat from the GPU is dissipated not only through the massive cooling module at the front but also from the back with a copper plate, creating a well-rounded thermal solution for the GPU. An additional heat pipe on the back can transfer more heat to the key components.

Airflow is expelled through the triangular fan edge and gently guided by the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface, effectively improving airflow.

The 3D active fan ensures semi-passive cooling; the fans remain off when the graphics processor is under a certain load or temperature for low-performance gaming. This allows gamers to enjoy gameplay in silence when the system is running lightly or idling.

Airflow is optimized by the alternating spinning fans, which reduce air turbulence and effectively dissipate heat.

Eine Radeon RX Vega 56 im Custom-Design ist schwer zu kriegen, deshalb mussten wir auf eine Version von Gigabyte im Referenz-Gehäuse ausweichen, die nicht übertaktet ist. Die gezeigte Leistung ist in 1080p tadellos, nur in Ultra-HD wird die 40-FPS-Grenze einmal nicht erreicht. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die Computing- und Multimedia-Fähigkeiten der Vega 56, die die Karte auch optimal für kreative...
