Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming OC

The WINDFORCE 3X cooling system features 3x 82mm unique blade fans, alternative spin fans, 6 copper composite heating pipes, heatpipe direct contact and 3D active fan functionality that together provide effective heat dissipation for higher performance at lower temperatures.

The GIGABYTE patent "Alternate Spinning" is the only solution that can solve the turbulent airflow of three fans. The biggest problem with the three fans is turbulence. As the fans rotate in the same direction, the airflow direction between the fans is opposite, resulting in a turbulent airflow and reducing heat dissipation efficiency. GIGABYTE rotates the central fan in the opposite direction so that the airflow direction between the two fans is the same, reducing turbulence and increasing airflow pressure.

The shape of the pure copper heat conductor maximizes the direct contact surface with the graphics processor and improves heat transfer. The heatpipe also covers the VRAM with a large metal plate contact to ensure sufficient cooling.

The graphics card uses the 8+2 power phase design to allow the MOSFET to operate at lower temperatures, as well as the overtemperature protection design and load balancing for each MOSFET, plus the Ultra Durable certified chokes and capacitors to ensure excellent performance and longer system life.
