Had read an article that said Nvidia asked the partners to remove the design as they want to use that design on some crypto mining cards that they plan on releasing.https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/amp/news/geforce-rtx-3090-blower-gpus-vanish-into-thin-air
Seems all the blower fan versions have been removed, strange that all the vendors are doing the same thing. Can only assume either nvidia rejected the blower design or vendors webt about trying to do a blower version and discovered it was struggling to keep the card cool.
3080 arrived, haven't had time to play with it properly yet, but someone asked for pics:
Coil whine on the 3090fe seems pretty bad in a lot of instances, bit of irony that Jensen called the cooler a "silencer" yet other components are taking away from that.
No coil wine from my 3080 at all under stress or idle, I had a 980ti that sealed a bit when idle but not under load most odd
Thats a tight squeeze
Maybe a cooler master Q500L? You'd have to get a short sfx psu to fit round the 3080 I think, but looks like it could work. Still not exactly portable though and doesn't have a handle.
Edit: a lot chunkier but the cooler master HAF XB evo might be worth a look too. Does actually have carrying handles, and better airflow.
The Lian Li 215 is pretty compact while also providing very good airflow.does anyone know of a super compact case than can still take an ATX board (X570 Tomahawk) and a 3080? I might need it to be portable down the line so a strong handle would be good.
