At the end of the day though, the results are still well within safe limits, so it's certainly not a major concern, but perhaps something for ASUS to improve upon in a future revision. The TUF Gaming was never more than 1% faster than the Founders Edition over the 5 games we tested, though that’s not a bad thing as this GPU can still churn out incredibly high frame rates.

While it doesn’t use the same milled design as its Strix sibling, the eight heatpipes — five 8mm and three 6mm — offer a huge leap in cooling potential, with 35% more contact area compared to the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090.

Reducing turbulence and maximising air dispersion through the heatsink, the two side fans spin counter clockwise, whilst all three fans come to a standstill when GPU temps are below 50 degrees Celsius offering relative silence from less-demanding games or tasks. Afterburner: Take full control with the most recognized and widely used graphics card overclocking softwa A black-anodized aluminum side cover is included with every active backplate to conceal the entire PCB and create a seamless enclosure.The implemented 3rd-generation Vector cooling engine uses a novel 3D machined acrylic insert to improve flow distribution and thermal performance. Compared to the likes of the Inno3D X3 OC and particularly the Gigabyte Gaming OC however, the TUF Gaming does lag behind somewhat. Resulting in less environmental impact, lower manufacturing power consumption, and a more reliable product overall thanks to the reduced thermal strain on components and avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals. A revamped interface offers greater accessibility by integrating core functions into a centralized dashboard, and our Voltage-Frequency tuner has been overhauled to make overclocking even easier. We can also note that ASUS is using thermal pads on the underside of the backplate to help draw heat out from the back of the PCB.

ive come across many comments saying they switched to the gaming oc for this particular reason and the coil whine was gone.
