A three-fan cooler for a card like this, really...?

Maybe, but I love cards with triple fan coolers, so they look great to me. That Challenger ITX 8GB looks interesting, might build an ITX setup with such a card IF I had to go to Thailand for extended stays. That, or may be a Steam Deck.

They look and are literally (usually) cool, but a triple fan cooler on a mid-range card like this is just simply pure overkill.

It's great to see an ITX card right out of the gate here, though that pricing ... ugh. How, exactly, is nearly $400 "midrange" these days? The GTX 970 launched at $329, and that was a full product tier higher than this (and the $329 RTX 3060 too - or, two tiers higher than that if you count Tis). At best it's upper mid-range, bordering on high-end. A true midrange card needs to be below $300, and the closer to $200, the better.

I have no doubt these will be excellent cards, and I'd love one of those ITX cards for my travel PC, but it seems like the RX 570 ITX in there is staying for a good while yet.

more like low-end, if this is the midrange, what do we make of 6700, 6700XT, 6800 and 6800XT, are those not mid range and high -end, and upper and what not. 7nm by amd is very low in density 46Mt, at leat make it on 6nm, real, not this relaxed fake node that is not better than 10nm, and pricing, 6700 at $699, this would probably show up as $599, just forget it. PCIE 8x slot might as well be a 64 bit card.
