I really want this to start a trend of using 2x120mm coolers on GPUs. It doesn't have to be for an expensive noctua collaboration. It sounds like even average-quality 120mm fans would offer a large improvement over the current GPU cooler situation. Enthusiasts have been modding their cards to do this same thing for years now, it's time for graphics card manufacturers to get the hint and start offering this out of the box.

@FutaNoKami 2 года назад

Would love that too, but i think mainly the issue would be ask and demand. Or the practicality of it. As DerBauwer mentioned in his last video, its a quad slot GPU so you wouldnt be able to use a e.g. wifi card/bluetooth, or USB card etc in your PCIE slots. To make it a marketable item i suppose they should reasearch a actuall % of people that actually use PCIE accesories and look if its worth the effort. But then again... possibly a PCIE riser and vertical mount in a wide case might just do the job too.

@zig131 2 года назад

Totally although I would want horizontal fins rather than vertical so the hot air is pushed out the case rather than into the motherboard and side panel. Vertical fins may be better for the GPU itself but it's just straight up selfish to dump it's heat into the case like that.

@@FutaNoKami Graphics card companies already offer a wide range of cooler configurations, some of which are even more niche, like AIO liquid cooled cards and hybrid coolers. There's no reason 120x25mm fans couldn't be a standard option as well. They'll still sell thinner cards for SFF and expansion card compatibility too.

@PatrickLipsinic 2 года назад

You know, this should be the standard for most cards these days. I know they will have the crazy looking cards with RGB. The fact that you can swap the fans out is serviceability in the future. WTG Noctua and ASUS.

Yeah, the days where people are trying to cram 2 graphics cards in their case are long gone. There's just not much reason to keep using the skinny heatsinks and small screamer fans. (other than cost savings to the manufacturer) Especially with the ridiculous heat load of modern graphics cards.

nah, it increases a lifespan of a GPU so it won't die in 3-5 years and customer won't be really forced to buy a new one (apart from new games demanding a better hardware). so won't happen. but you always can tie any fan to any gpu cooler with zip-ties, the only downside - warranty obligations could be ignored by manufacturer in that case.

@The_Noticer. 2 года назад

From a right-to-repair standpoint this is great, as well as allow for user customization without major modification. Because the OEM fans, being only produced for OEM, are really difficult to source when they break, and usually means you have to ship it back for factory warranty. If that has ran out, you're shit out of luck.

@FrodeBergetonNilsen 2 года назад

There is a ton of things to PCs that I really don't understand. For this issue, it has a lot of things going against it. The slot used for the GPU is typically the first one, and going with a cooler that need 6 slot width to function, like this Asus-Noctua thing, the rest of the slots become unusable. There is no tradition in the industry to shake things up, to keep flexibility while supporting new hardware. Also, using these fans, there is a height limitation in a lot of cases, that prevent this design from being usable. It sort of reminds me about the turtle speed adoption of the dropping of the 5.25" bays.

@narfsc2657 2 года назад

because there is no real gain in cooling performance whats so ever. you are better off with tripple fan cards. i ghetto modded my 2080ti and even used 140mm noctua industrials with full 3000rpm on it. Its the same temperature as stock if not a little worse.

@gypsy6211 2 года назад

It took Noctua 20 something years to design a 200mm fan that lived upto their standards for material composition, flex, sound etc. Consider this pairing with a 3070 as a rush job with that redesigned heatsink. If they'd have had 4-5 years to come up with the perfect heatsink to match the A12x25 fans, I'd expect it'd do somewhat better than it already does. Just throwing 120mm fans on a heatsink doesn't necessarily mean it'll actually perform better than what's already there if the heatsink isn't optimized for the differences between the fans capabilities.

@EMETRL 2 года назад

this kind of design also reduces e-waste by making it easier to swap fans if one happens to break. Of course replacing a fan on a gpu is possible for any model but the barrier to entry is important, and it's also a lot easier to buy a normal 120mm fan than an oem gpu fan that isn't generally sold to the public

@rarrawer 2 года назад

I like the way that it's more modular; so if a fan fails it's easy to replace, or if the GPU dies or becomes obsolete I'd still be able to easily repurpose the fans. I do think they could probably shave some extra width off the card if they changed the way the fans are mounted. If the fan shroud over the top was omitted and instead the fans were held on by being either mounted to a simple metal plate between the fans and cooler, or a set of bent wire spring clips as many CPU coolers use to mount their fans.

If an AIB partner were to offer a model with standard 2x 120mm x25mm fan mountings, it would be disruptive. The biggest differentiators between AIBs (that allow them to upcharge massively between SKUs) are the cooler, power delivery, and BIOS. Standardizing the cooler would commoditize that biggest differentiator, potentially hurting profits. All the AIBs are completely selling through their stock, and they have a supply bottleneck with NVIDIA, so I don’t see much of an economic motivation for incumbents to disrupt here. Good for ASUS for doing this! A BYO fan line would be pro-consumer.

right to repair means that if a part is broken or something is damaged in a product you bought, you can take the product to any repair shop to be repaired or if you want to do it by yourself without being forced to do it the manufacturer way the old fans are on sale on internet, you can replace them by unplugging or unscrewing the old unit and installing the new one itx cases will not be able to fit this solution, the gpu is 4 slots, at best, a itx will fit 3 slots gpus if you are lucky so this will work for atx users only, external gpu cases might or might not fir one the fans on any gpu can be removed and replaced with this type of fan, you can even use zipties to put a traditional fan if you have the space, the plastic part can be unscrewed on many gpu models if not all, i even did it on a gt 1030! where your right to repair is being destroyed is on iphones, latest model will not allow you to change a single part, all has to be done by apple directly

I'm a fan of silence, but for the sake of full testing, it would be nice to also do test in the performance mode too.

i would gladly buy one of these if/when i could just go to newegg or microcenter and buy this for whichever model i wanted. like if this was a 3080 Ti, i think it would be a great choice. Glad Asus is working with Noctua and EK to make new product offerings.

Majorhardware had a awesome video where he made his own 3d printed shroud!! awesome video btw

Just wait till Major Hardware finally makes a series on different GPU fan designs by fans (Fan Showdown)! It's gonna be wild! I also agree with the majority of comments that this kind of design should become the norm, since fans are one of the first thing to fail and having easy access to a replacement instead of having to hunt for an exact match (if at all possible to replace) would be amazing. Not to mention being able to pick and choose whether you want to go performance, or silence or RGB or any mix of the above.

Really wanted one of those, never was able to find a place to get them

Marvels "What If" vs Der8auer "What If". BTW, what do you think about liquid metal in laptops? I bought An asus strix g15 advantage edition and I am wondering... how safe is it for Asus to do this?

Thats a badass cooler man, Asus preparing early for the dual GPU space heaters to come

Shoutout to people who have been zip tying 120mm fans to their graphics cards for the past 10+ years.

@adwol48 2 года назад

would the phanteks t30 fans fit that shroud or would that extra 5mm frame interfere with the mounting systems

@arch1107 2 года назад

if they are 120 mm they will fit in that direction but if they are taller, you will need longer screws i think, would make things more complicated for you

@thatsgottahurt 2 года назад

I personally do not like the styling of that card (I do like the brown) but I love the standard fans and fan headers. This would be a nice to have on any cooler. Even using 90mm to get triple fans on a card, It would be nice to plug and play with any 90mm fan.

Greetings from Czechia. Could you give me a hint how did you get hands on the Asus Noctua edition? I'd like to have one for myself since I underestimated my gaming needs with RTX 1660 on UWQHD '-'

@user-kv5he9np2y 23 дня назад

U can use these fans to extra cooling the real gpu but in other slot? Or only work as main gpu fans?

@LeitoAE 2 года назад

@der8auer EN could you please mount some thin 120mm fans to this fan shroud? It interesting for me to see what is the difference between "normal" - 25mm thick fans to some slim ones that are typically usend in gpu coolers. I think that not only diameter of the fan is the problem in most of GPU coolers but also thickness.

@hughjazz44 2 года назад

I wish ALL GPUs had standard 120mm fans in them.

Great video, shame that Noctua doen't make the NF-A12x25 Chromax black, but personally i would like to see double Phanteks T30-120 on there. It would retain most of the performance but in all black.
