Here we are going to look at the types of cooling systems for MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Ventus 3X 24G and ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 OC Edition 12GB 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.
