Here we are going to look at the types of cooling systems for GIGABYTE Radeon RX Vega 56 Gaming OC 8G and GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3050 Eagle OC 8G 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.
