The ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3050 OC Edition comes packed with the usual bells and whistles, including a hefty triple-fan cooler that takes up almost a good three slots. That’s a lot of room fo a card of this class, but ASUS clearly isn’t willing to compromise on cooling.
It sports a brand new design, with additional metal trimmings around the three axial-tech fans. The new design mirrors the design aesthetic of the ROG and ROG Strix motherboards, in case you want to build a matching system. Each fan features a smaller hub that allows for longer blades, in addition to a barrier ring that increases downward air pressure.
Adjacent fans also rotate in opposite directions to one another, with the two side fans spinning counter-clockwise, and the middle fan spinning clockwise. This helps to reduce turbulence and improve cooling efficiency. To lower the overall noise levels, a stop mode halts all fans when the system is idle and the GPU temperature falls below 42°C.
