The double ball-bearing fans support semi-passive cooling, so they'll remain off when the card isn't working as hard.Ī card this powerful requires an equally hefty heat sink, and Gigabyte has installed an extended heat sink that can soak up even more heat. The fans themselves are girded by what Gigabyte refers to as its wind claw design, and they have the appearance of sharp prongs or claws that reinforce each fan and help channel air towards the heat sink. They also utilise so-called blade stack fans, where the airflow is split by a triangular fan edge and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface. Gigabyte's Max-covered cooling, as it's calling it, comprises two 115mm fans and one 100mm fan that spin in an alternate pattern, in order to reduce the turbulence of adjacent fans and increase air pressure. You'll only want this if you have a large, spacious case, and then some to spare. It's a boxy, faceted design, requiring a good 3.5 slots in your case and measuring 319mm long. You'll need hefty hardware to keep that GA102 GPU cool, and Gigabyte has spared no expense to do that. The Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Xtreme is a beast of a card.

Since it's Asus board, I'm sporting Ai Suite and Crate, they work fine. I'm running Aorus RTX 3090 Xtreme on AMD setup, particularly X570 Dark Hero and R9 5950X.
