The 3x 100mm stack fans provide larger and more smooth airflow. And with more heatsink coverage than other standard triple fans, WINDFORCE stack fans have better cooling performance.
The GIGABYTE patent “Alternate Spinning” is the only solution that can solve the turbulent airflow of three fans. The biggest problem with the three fans is turbulence. Since the fans rotate in the same direction, the airflow direction is opposite between the fans, which will cause turbulent airflow and reduce heat dissipation efficiency. GIGABYTE turns the middle fan in the opposite direction, so that the airflow direction between the two fans is the same, reducing the turbulence and enhancing the airflow pressure.
Smooth Airflow
better heat dissipation
Turbulent Airflow
worse heat dissipation
3x 100mm Stack fans
Much more heatsink coverage by strong and smooth airflow.
3x 80mm Standard fans
There is no airflow in the junction of 2 fans, resulting a smaller heatsink coverage.
The airflow is spilt by the triangle fan edge, and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface, effectively enhancing the airflow.
With direct contact to the GPU and VRAM, the large copper base plate combines the composite heat pipes to efficiently transfer heat generated from the interior cores to the heat sink.
With the better system airflow, the direction of the copper plate will help to increase the cooling performance.
