Here we are going to look at the types of cooling systems for MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER GAMING X and Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 3080 Ultra OC 10G-V 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.
