TURBINE - X SYSTEM FAN CONTROL

SAPPHIRE Turbine-X system controls up to two external PWM fans mounted inside the PC’s chassis. A dedicated hardware controller on the card intelligently adjusts the speed of connected fans based on the reads from five thermal sensors included on the PCB to improve the system’s overall airflow.

SAPPHIRE TRI-X COOLING

TRI-X Cooling

Superior Cooling and Performance

3x Efficient Fans

Durable Dual-Ball Bearings

3x 8 mm + 5x 6mm Heatpipes

(VRM included)

Award winning multi-heatpipe triple fan Tri-X cooler to allow the card to run totally silently at low loads, and quietly and at low temperatures even when gaming or in demanding applications.

The three fans have dust repelling bearings now each with dual ball races. They are equipped with aerofoil section blades to deliver highly efficient airflow at low noise levels, and the fan cowling is designed to control the routing of the airflow for maximum cooling efficiency.

Heat is dissipated by a trio of efficient fans – two, slightly bigger, on the sides, running anticlockwise, and a smaller middle fan running clockwise to ensure optimal airflow.

NITRO GLOW

The Graphics card is more than just another component; it’s the beating heart of your gaming system. With tasteful shroud design augmented by RGB LEDs', each card is practically a piece of art.

Check out our NITRO Glow Tutorial on SAPPHIRE Nation showing you how to make the most of the  feature.

 

You can even change the colours of the LED, for your own customized design using the new SAPPHIRE TriXX NITRO Glow utility. There are five different modes including Fan Speed, GPU Temperature or the colourful rainbow modes. LEDs can also be turned off.
