Some users, after replacing their computer with a new graphics card, find that the new graphics card fan happens to be very noisy, which actually has a lot to do with the performance configuration of the new graphics card you are buying.So what's going on with the noisy new graphics card fan?Let's find out next.

What's going on with the new graphics card fan noise

Generally speaking, the lower the fan speed of a graphics card, the less noise it will make.Because in the quiet at the same time to ensure sufficient air volume, so we can get a conclusion: the larger the diameter of the fan, the greater the thickness of the fan, the graphics card fan to ensure sufficient air volume required speed is also smaller, the natural noise will be less.
When buying a graphics card we can also pay attention to the diameter of the graphics card cooling fan, many brands of graphics cards have now adopted a heatsink design that exceeds the height of the average graphics card and can be equipped with a larger diameter cooling fan, the noise of these cards will undoubtedly be lower.You can see that there is also a certain amount of care that goes into buying a graphics card.

Basic introduction to graphics card fans

At present, the largest power consumption in the host with a discrete graphics card is generally the graphics card, a high-end graphics card power consumption can easily reach 200-300W, and these consumed electricity is basically converted to heat.Although a good heatsink can increase the area of heat dissipation, but ultimately the role of the fan, with the flow of air to take away the heat.
The biggest difference between a graphics card cooling fan and an ordinary fan is the size, as the vast majority of standard size graphics cards are only 9cm in height and only about 4cm thick in both slots, and the vast majority of graphics card coolers as a whole cannot exceed this thickness.So the biggest feature of a graphics card cooling fan is that it is limited in size for the purpose of ensuring good compatibility with the graphics card.
In exchange for this size limitation, the overall performance of the fan is limited to a smaller thickness.The smaller diameter of the fan has to be increased by increasing its speed to meet the cooling airflow requirements.Generally speaking, a 12cm fan in a typical case only spins at about 2500RPM (revolutions per minute), but many graphics card fans can easily reach 4000RPM. at higher speeds, the graphics card fan will naturally generate more noise.
