Two proven Axial-Tech fans feature a smaller hub that allows for longer blades and a barrier ring that increases air pressure downwards. To avoid unnecessary noise, a stop mode turns off all fans when the GPU temperature drops below 50 degrees and power consumption is low. Different bearing types have unique advantages and disadvantages. Ball bearings are known for their durability and can last up to twice as long as sleeve bearing designs. Do you prioritize low core temperatures or low noise levels? In performance mode, the fans ramp up to keep the card cool at all times. The quiet mode maintains the same performance target and top-end settings but offers a less aggressive fan curve for quieter operation at moderate temperatures. For even more customization options and control, take a look at the GPU Tweak III software.
