Exactly the opposite of the new Mac Pro's MPX modules! Instead of a quad-slot heatsink and quiet fans, just make a single slot with tiny heatsinks and HUGE fans!
Can't wait to put 16 massive external fans on a 1U server with 8 HHHL slots...
Needs more RAM. Those DIMM slots are looking a little bit lonely. (Side note: Yes, I know it's just a display mock up so no, you don't need to point that out, but yes you can if you still feel like that sort of thing would make you feel better.)
No, this is a reference Radeon RX 5700. AMD was absolutely set on it being a blower... could it be louder than the Reference Vega? AMD: Hold my beer... >.<
Someone tell them that centrifugal style fans have higher static pressure, are oriented in a less space consuming layout and can be equally as loud and high CFM as these 250+cfm normal fans.
Seeing this cooler I got an idea, can it be possible to design a cooler where one fan brings in cool air on top of the cpu/gpu directly, and the other fan pushes that hot air out ???
This "article" has the dumbest title I've yet to see out of Anandtech.
Shame on you, Dr. Cutress.
You should know better.
And how is this ANYYYY different than ANYYY of the passively cooled, rackmounted, multi-GPU server solutions that already exist???
So not only was the title of this article completely wrong/false/misleading, the whole POINT of this "article" is made moot by the fact that this already exists in the server environment.
Therefore; there is literally NO point to this "article" at all.
My 2L buzz box (car) wants it's Turbo intake/cooler back.
A 250CFM airflow can move 700w with a 5C air temperature rise. The small heatsink would still be much hotter even with 350w of heat in real use. Diminishing returns. Water block to an external heatpump (like aircon) driven cooling would be better.
I assume this was created for edge case workarounds and or to have something cool to show off in their booth. Though this type of cooling of PCIe cards may become a little more common if we start to run into issues/costs with newer generations of PCIe coming from pcb trace length limitations.
I've used setups like this in the lab during bringup or other debugging where you needed the board outside the airflow of the chassis in order to attach probes.

I'll wait for the triple fan version.TennesseeTony - Wednesday, June 5, 2019 - link
Lot's of click-bait-ish titles lately from Mr. Cutress....Others:
Spotted at Computex: The Worst Fake MacBook Air....uhm, no, that's a prop, why the heck you wasting our time reporting on a bad prop?
Spotted at Computex: A Ryzen PC in a Threadripper RETAIL box.....uhm, no, that's a 3D printed case that is very SIMILAR to a RETAIL box.

They look like Deltas. I have one as my cpu cooler. Pushes an amazing amount of air and is super duper loud :Dalpha754293 - Thursday, June 6, 2019 - link
