Here we are going to look at the types of cooling systems for XFX AMD Radeon RX 570 RS 4GB Black Edition and MSI Radeon RX 580 Armor 4G OC 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.
