Despite everyone’s efforts to kill off blower heatsinks, they cling to life. Indeed, a turbine heatsink is unveiled in China… Installed on an RTX 4090, not really the kind of card predestined to host this type of cooling.
RTX 4090: a blower-cooled card in China!
As we can see, the card in question, an RTX 4090, shows itself with a ventirad equipped with a radial fan. The principle remains simple: blow cool air through a network of aluminum fins to expel hot air from the back of the PC. If this type of cooling could be interesting in a multi-GPU configuration, it has lost a lot of interest in recent years. SLI and Crossfire are generally dead and the increase in component consumptions makes these solutions obsolete.
Finally, the question remains “why?” since this model is not cheaper than any other, on the contrary. According to our colleagues according to the price list, it costs about 15000 RMB (Chinese Yuan), which is about 2000 € and a bit. At this price, on the Asian market, you can afford custom models in iGame Vulcan sauce from Colorful. Because yes, the other interest of the so-called ” blower ” cards was to be offered at low prices, which is not the case here.
In the end, the brand that produces this card shows a lot of courage… Or unconsciousness. Because yes, for the moment, we still don’t know who is behind this UFO. If, initially, the suspicions were on Manli, the brand quickly denied it.
