Been very happy with their performance so far, both in terms of cooling and H/s.
I'll be interested to see how the 2080 Ti Turbo holds up.
I think statements like this must be at least accompanied with the details of the cooling solution. Are you really using a server case where one GPU is just few millimeters away from the next GPU? Does the fan of one GPU almost touches the next GPU like for most server/retail mainboards ? .... or are you instead using risers and the GPUs are "miles" away from each others etc
These are very different ways to setup rigs and of course you can't really say that the fan/cooling of a GPU is very effective/good (for server/retail mainboard setups without risers) if you use risers for your setup.
I'm not saying that I'm sure that you are using risers and this is the only way in which that specific model (I don't own this model therefore I have literally "no clue" ) can be cooled within a multi-GPU setup... but I think without the full details about your cooling strategy (which type of motherboards/case/fans/risers, how many inches/mm the GPUs are apart from each other etc) the statement could be a little bit incomplete/dangerous/misleading etc. I would like to know the details, because it could be also a very good fan designed by ASUS (again, I have no clue, because I don't own this specific model).
Please let us know about the details of your specific cooling strategy (and/or how you setuped your GPUs)
Thanks
