News - Gigabyte gives GeForce GTX 680 a Windforce 5X cooler

Although I'm sure they're noisy you have to give them a little faith, they're hardly gonna engineer a car that sounds like a remote control car.

But tbh noisy cards never bother me, the only time they're spinning up enough to be audible is when I'm playing a game who's sound overshadows any PC noise.

I cant see if those fans are setup to push through the heatsink or pull (11" laptop screen) but seems the card is going to need another cooling system nearby to reduce board temps.

Hmmm... will have to reserve judgement until we actually get some reviews, but it does look pretty gash... Shame, as the previous Windforce coolers (on 7970 etc) have generally been very well received. And three slots as well? That rules it out as an SLI option unless you have a very well spaced motherboard. Disappointed

Oh dear! That's going to be NOISY as heck with so many small fans.

5 little fans instead of 3 big 'uns? Surely that's going to be a lot louder.......

Exactly, those tiny fans are going to whine and annoy the hell out of anyone...
