will having 3 fans on a gpu will perform better then two?

[Kumoko]

there seems to be stock near my place for a rtx 3070 but only asus TUF with 3 fans and KO which has 2 fans i do plan to semi mine on this card since my 2070S will be replace by 3070 and use my 2070S for 24/7 mining state XD maybe with 3 fans it will cool the gpu better thoughts?

Price for this are 1800 for the TUF / KO @ 1700 though i can get a Sapphire 6700XT for 1.2k AUD

I've seen local forum discussions about the RTX 3060 (Ti?) where some had made it a point to tell others who intend to buy such a card to look for tri-fan version and to skip the dual fan versions which run a fair bit hotter. How true this is, I can't say as all cards I've gotten thus far have three fans each, and they seem to have pretty decent temps. I, too, have avoided dual fan cards (perhaps subconsciously) as I've been running triple fan cards as of late.

Edit - The RX 6700 XT is not the competitor of the RTX 3070 (and perhaps the RTX 3060 Ti), the RX 6800 is the actual competitor (but most of the time, I believe the RTX 3070 is priced higher, at least it is here in my neck of the woods). But regardless, whatever card you get, try to aim for a triple fan card as I believe these are better at cooling these beastly cards.

My Nitro+ RX 6900 XT, after >1hour of COD MW WZ SP campaign gameplay with maxed out graphics setting + RT @ 3840x1080, has a GPU junction temp (Hotspot) of 79C with GPU temp of 56C (with room temp at a comfy 23C).

Get the 3 fan.

Oh yeah, pardon for pointing out the obvious, regardless of whatever version of GPU you get (be it dual fan, or better yet triple fan) it IS quite important that your case has good airflow.

i was actually thinking of the 6800XT but sadly none are available i was looking at the sapphire 6800 since they r cheaper around 1600 rest are around 2k price point for 6800XT and considering how low supply this new cards are its hard to get one from a supplier

Hah, I've seen RX 6700 XT models going for 1450AUD (local $ to AUD) so it's bad here in my neck of the woods. I actually had a Nitro+ RX 6800 back at launch till 1st January, pretty powerful card, and IF you're gaming at 1440P, then the RX 6800 is the one to get (assuming RT isn't a big deal for you, and that rasterized gaming performance is what you want).

The RTX 3070 falls smack between the RX 6700 XT and RX 6800 in terms of rasterized performance. I'd gotten the RX 6900 XT because it has decent'ish RT performance, but pretty good rasterized gaming performance. IF you want good RT (not RTX) performance, the RTX 3070 is the obvious choice, as DLSS 2.0 helps a lot with RT gaming performance. I'm awaiting AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (basically AMD's answer to DLSS), though I believe it'd help with performance, it'd be behind nVidia's DLSS in performance).

Get the card that best 1. suits your budget, and 2. suits your gaming preference and resolution.

i mean how much can you make a day that you would spend 1800 on a new card trash a card you could sell for good money and the electricity to run 24/7 all sounds like a bit of a waste
for what seems like a meh upgrade ? anyway 3 fans for sure.

more cooling = more better

it really depends on each coolers design as for how many fans it needs or can effectively use

Dont judge by number of fans on the card, as each card's cooler may be designed differently and work more or less effectively. There are 3-fan cards in the past which had atrocious cooling, and there are 1-fan designs that have worked fine.

Best to go with reviews of the specific cards, rather than a general 3-fan vs 2-fan comparison.

depends on the GPU and the cooler and the cooling in your case

Gpu already mentioned on my post my case will be Aerocool Shard-G-BK-v1 though im not even sure with that case will fit a 3fan config

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

Depends on the size of the fans, sometimes two bigger fans are better and more quiet then three smaller ones. Also depends on general build quality of the cooling solution.

i have the asus dual 3070 it has 2 fans and never goes above 70c

I struggled with heat issues for a long time, but there is so many variants of what is going on inside the tower you can get a negative flow rate if the fans are wrong , my first prob was the fact that the goofs who built my PC put the PSU at the bottom of the Tower, this was because of a MATX mobo , having a PSU there is wrong and you have to adapt , locating the tower on a hard surfice , some may and have put the tower on a soft surface like a carpet , that then blocks air flow through the PSU, basic set up of the PSU @ the top of a tower cools the PSU and helps cool the tower . With a GTX 1080Ti i still have to run MSI after burner .

Most cases only have one place to install the PSU, and nowadays its almost always on the bottom. The most widely accepted orientation for the PSU is also to be installed with the fan pointing down, so long as the case you are using has enough space for air flow below.
The heat added to the interior of a case is generally not considerable, especially given the PSU's fan direction and ventilation blows the air out the back in almost all configurations.

Besides this, negative pressure is not always or even often the best choice. If that is what you mean by 'negative flow rate.' Its preferable to have balanced pressure, which just means as close to the same intake of air as exhausting as possible.

Sure doesnt sound like those people were 'goofs,' though.
