Here we are going to look at the types of cooling systems for MSI Radeon RX 550 2GT LP OC and ASUS Phoenix Radeon RX 550 4G EVO 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.
