well I just installed a rx 580 inside the same case as my 1070. The 1070 is a blower style fan that keeps cool at its overclocked speed
the rx580 dual fan by asus gets HOT its running at 76 C while my MSI aero 1070 runs at 65 C
the rx runs to hot, I can see why BOTH amd and nvidia are now putting in blower fans while the cheap after market gtx are using a cooling system that makes the entire PC hot
its this hot and its in middle of winter, I am seriously considering selling both 1070 and rx 580 and just getting 2 water cooled 1080tis and be done with it,
no more fans, no more fans breaking, no more worrying about the heat in the summer.
at this rate in the summer the rx 580 will die it just runs to hot
IMHO, the open-style fans are fine as long as you have an open frame mining rig and run an external fan perpendicular to it. The 10-14 inch fan adds an additional ~50W to energy cost but they work well to force hot air out thru the spacing between graphics cards where hot air gets trapped.
Ive noticed that even tho open-style fans have heatsinks that are designed to force hot air out thru either the back or front end of graphics cards, when you have 5-19 cards stacked in parallel the temperature kinda get a little bit higher going from the first to the last in the fan direction.
im shocked there isnt more water cooled options. thinking of making 2 PCs with water cooled 1080tis, so 4 1080tis in their case, sitting in a corner nice and quite. I can put them in different places. its easier for a pc to sit in a corner and nobody notices it, If I go on vacation for 2 months, I feel my water cooled GPU will be ok in the heat. hell I dont even have to leave a fan running! What do you think?
but I think the blower fans are like new tech, 1 fan does a better job in the case.
but then I dont know how these blowers will work when its 90 degrees out. the price of a regular 2 or 3 fan 1080 ti is as much as a water cooled one, I never had water cooled anything but if I had the money all my GPUS would be water cooled
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s_je7-BIEcim still seeing how I can do this with 2 1080tis water cooled but I dont want anything to break, I dont see many people mining with water cooled so Im a little cautious about spending on water cooled gpus
could I get 2 of these and put in case and not worry? They just have a fan I put them in and im golden?
