WINDFORCE 2X cooling system features two 90mm unique blade fans, alternate spinning, one composite copper heat pipe direct touches the GPU and 3D active fans, together delivering an effective heat dissipation capacity for higher performance at lower temperatures. The GIGABYTE “Alternate Spinning” is the only solution that can solve the turbulent airflow of adjacent fans. Since the adjacent fans rotate in the same direction, the airflow direction is opposite between the fans, which will cause turbulent airflow and reduce heat dissipation efficiency. GIGABYTE turns the adjacent fans in the opposite direction, so that the airflow direction between the two fans is the same, reducing the turbulence and enhancing the airflow pressure. The 3D Active Fan provides semi-passive cooling, and the fans will remain off when the GPU is in a low load or low power game. It allows gamers to enjoy gameplay in complete silence when the system is running light or idle. The back plate not only provides an aesthetical shape, but also enhances the structure of the graphics card to provide complete protection.
