Why they did this mess with the cooler? Couldn't they make an itx like one, it would have looked prettier
Looks pretty functional desu. You have a side by side pic?

You're embarrassing yourself. Fuck off to your general and hide if you don't like the thread like everyone else. You have no right to shit in other threads.
>>55334079
please show me the quality threads on /g/ that will be here if all GPU discussion were to suddenly vanish.
You can use archive up to 1 month old.
Go on.
Show me that quality thread.
>>55334078
No, anyway i would have liked it this way
>>55334061
Because the card runs at 80C+.
They needed the extra radiator length to keep it from frying itself to death.

OIC. Just fabricate a mod? Shouldnt be too difficult

Generals are a bannable offense except for the specific boards in which they are allowed - which for ease of use of mouthbreathing low iq retards such as yourself are aptly named - general boards.
Now sod of you autistic wanker.

It lets the heatsink be wider primarily, having the fan extend past the pcb lets it also take in a bit of extra air from that cutout you see.
There will probably be an aftermarket card that's just the length of the pcb for ultra small cases at a later date anyway.

I don't buy this. Learn how cooling works faggot

The card runs at 80C WITH the extra radiator length. Whether you buy it or not, that is the reason why the cooling solution looks like that.
They just needed more radiator surface. It's a hot chip. Nothing new for AMD really.

I had a nVidia once and the exhaust would literally burn my legs. Never again

Who cares, you put it in your case and nobody will see it.
>>55334079
They should fuck off altogether, generals just make the problem worse.
I suppose you wouldn't want your new AMD™ GPU to melt. It runs hit because it uses more transistors than a Titan X, so it's also faster. Just like car engines, more cylinders equals more power equals more heat.
Have you seen their cooling? holy shit how cheap.

2 8800 Ultras and World of Warcraft (Karazhan) got me through a winter in a 10x10 room.

ITX style coolers don't blow air out of the case, which you want on references, so that they work in bad cases and no airflow PCs.
And they are more expensive, for 199 dollar card you need cheap.

Good summary. I would also speculate that for the target market for this card, a longer shrouded card is associated with better quality.
>>55334061
It's probably for two reasons, better airflow in a dual card setup and to reduce noise levels by having less restriction on the fan.
