Alternate spinning revolutionizes gigabyte graphics cards

Gigabyte has introduced A lternate Spinning fan technology for its new GeForce RTX 20 graphics cards, which are based on the Turing architecture built at 12nm.

Gigabyte creates Alternate Spinning to improve the cooling of its GPUs

Nvidia's RTX 20 series of graphics cards will launch in the coming weeks. Manufacturers continue to innovate each generation with features like 0db fan curves and RGB lighting compatibility, which have become revolutionary features in the past generations.

Turing's arrival assumes bigger GPU arrays than its predecessors, so most people expect Turing to be hotter than its Pascal-based counterparts, something that has prompted Nvidia to create a completely new Founders Edition design.. Several AIBs have also chosen to produce custom graphics cards with larger heatsinks.

Gigabyte has chosen to design its custom offerings to be big and smart, providing what they call " Alternate Spinning ", hoping to produce smoother airflow with reduced turbulence and noise levels. Gigabyte's new Triple Fan Windforce coolers will have the medium fan rotating in the opposite direction to the other two, facilitating smooth airflow between each fan. This change reduces air turbulence and increases speed, improving the thermal efficiency of the company's heat sink.

If this technology turns out to be successful, other graphics card manufacturers are likely to adopt the same feature in the future generation. Many high-end GPUs already occupy more than two PCI slots, a factor that will force manufacturers to create more efficient heatsink designs instead of increasing their performance roughly, that is, with larger designs.
