Here we are going to look at the types of cooling systems for GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 OC 3G and PowerColor Red Dragon Radeon RX 560 16CU 2GB GDDR5 OC V2 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.
