Totally troppo.
Can I get a flake with that ?
5 little fans instead of 3 big 'uns? Surely that's going to be a lot louder.......
What a Whopper!
Crazy, wonder what clocks they've got planned for this one, that and what headroom it'll still have for those ambitious ones!
Just like a computer room full of racks that also use little fans. Deafening.Quote:

And I think my vf3000 on low is loud...
i've never heard a quiet 40mm fan in my life. Looks Fugly too prefer the windforce 3x
I call shenanigans - Gigabyte are lolling at us right now! ridiculous concept - for one thing those fans all blow hot air directly onto your motherboard - how's that going to help temperatures!? I've seen (and even planned) some ridiculous cooling concepts in my time, but this... I have no words :o
For the price I expect it, but surely this will just cause more heat problems for the mobo and processor?!
From the way the fans are oriented it looks like it's sucking the hot air from graphics card and blowing it against the case panel instead of blowing it down onto the motherboardQuote:

Yes, this looks like a pants idea that somehow left the drawing board and into production without anyone with a brain noticing.Quote:

I can still hear the screaming noise the last GFX card I owned with a 40mm fan made. Interested to see the noise figures on this.
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.
Exactly, those tiny fans are going to whine and annoy the hell out of anyone...Quote:
