MAXSUN Unveils Intel Arc B580 Series Graphics Cards

[GFreeman]

MAXSUN and Intel introduced their latest collaboration, the MAXSUN Intel Arc B580 Series Graphics Cards. Both models come with 12 GB of VRAM, ensuring smooth gameplay and efficient creative workflows.

Two Options for Every Need
The MAXSUN Intel Arc B580 Series features two models:

• MAXSUN Intel Arc B580 iCraft 12G (MSRP: $259)
• MAXSUN Intel Arc B580 Milestone 12G (MSRP: $249)

MAXSUN Intel Arc B580 iCraft 12G: Elegance and Performance
The iCraft 12G model features a sophisticated design, with a Daylight Shine Coating that gives it a ceramic-like finish. Its minimalist, clean lines offer a refined yet strong appearance, while iCraft's vibrant color accents add energy and personality.

Equipped with the Ice-Edge Bidirectional Cooling System, the iCraft 12G ensures excellent thermal management. Its triple-fan design with 9 cm FROST fans and 11 dense blades maximizes airflow, while an iCraft alloy backplate enhances both cooling efficiency and aesthetics.

MAXSUN Intel Arc B580 Milestone 12G: Bold and Powerful
For users who prefer a darker, more dramatic look, the Milestone 12G features a striking red-and-black design that evokes power and mystery.

The card features Ice-Core Bidirectional Cooling System, featuring dual 9 cm FROST fans with 11 tightly packed blades. Paired with a custom Razor Shield backplate, it delivers superior cooling performance, even during intense use.

The MAXSUN Intel Arc B580 Series will be available for purchase on December 13. Stay tuned for more information and get ready to experience the next level of graphics performance.

Need info on max power limits for these and Asrock's.

Why 3-fan cooler design for 190W TDP card? This should be 2 fans at max and as short as possible (PCB has roughly half length of that 3-fan cooler).
It is overkill and also overprices product.

Some people value their quiet. More fans, more fin surface, more heat moved. Triple-fan cards are big, but whisper-quiet with the right fan/voltage profile.

And then there's another thing to take into account - how actually the cooler is being utilized (= how good is heat transfer to cooler). This I learned with RX 5700 XT some 5 years ago. Original thermal pads and paste from Sapphire was terrible. After re-pasting and putting Thermal Grizzly pads, card was substantially quiter thanks to 15°C lower temps, no upgrade in fans or fins required. Sure I lost warranty but it was well worth it.

In a car, you may have as big engine cooler as you want but it will be ineffective unless the pipes and flow are properly dimensioned.

While I do like quiet PCs, <200W can easily be quietly cooled by a 2-slot cooler with 2x 90-mm fans. Standard B580 from Intel may be $249, but these 3-slot monsters will be at least $50 on top of that.
