The WINDFORCE cooling system features three 90mm unique blade fans, alternate spinning, 4 composite copper heat pipes directly touch the GPU, 3D active fans and Screen cooling, which together provide high efficiency heat dissipation. The shape of the pure copper heat pipe maximizes the direct contact area with the GPU. The heat pipe also covers the VRAM through a metal plate contact to ensure proper cooling. Each fan rotates in different direction to the adjacent one. This special mechanism reduces turbulence and increases air pressure by minimizing the offset occurred between airflows. 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. To create more space for airflow to pass through, the heatsink extends over the PCB and therefore increase the ventilation. This Screen Cooling design provides better heat dissipation. The legendary three-ring lighting provides excellent visual enjoyment. You can choose any lighting effect or synchronize with other devices in GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER. The factory default setting is OC mode, which provides users with the best performance. However, switching to silent mode will enjoy a quieter experience. The metal back plate not only provides an aesthetical shape, but also enhances the structure of the graphics card to provide complete protection. When experiencing any power supply abnormality, the indicator will alert gamers by flashing light.
