On most mid-range Asus graphics cards, the shroud is easy to remove. We already tried classic 120 mm fans on this card, but they do not suit its narrow, long PCB: they make the card much wider and still fail to cover the heatsink along its full length. A trio of 92 mm Noctua fans fits better on the 30 cm card, and the range includes the low-profile NF-A9x14 for noticeably quieter cooling at lower speeds overall.
Details of individual measurements (stock, 3× Asus Axial-Tech Fan)
The following graphs show detailed measurement runs. Each shows four runs at one setting, with average values read from the highlighted segment. When hovering over the interactive graph from left to right, the values measured in that particular fan performance range should be displayed.
If the interactive graphs don’t work for you, there are also standard expandable images for each setting below them. The steps are from 30 to 100% performance in 5% increments, and the set value is also visible in the image title.

Love this content.
Glad to this performed comparable to the A12X25. Interested to see how the A9X25 would improve the performance.
Some tests with the NF-A9x25 fans should be published this Friday, if nothing goes wrong. 🙂
