Here we are going to look at the types of cooling systems for GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3090 Ti XTREME WATERFORCE 24G and GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 4090 XTREME WATERFORCE 24G Rev. 1.1 as well as their sizes and performance. As a rule, fans with larger diameters have an advantage because they can move the same volumes of air while rotating more slowly than smaller fans. It should be noted that liquid cooling systems in addition to fans and aluminum radiators need some kind of pump, which can also be noisy.
