Maxsun's Mega Gamer GPU RTX 40 Series Sports Five Fans

[Fouquin]

Chinese board partner Maxsun announced today their new flagship product line dubbed Mega Gamer GPU (MGG) which packs five fans onto RTX 40 series GPUs. The first card to receive this new branding is NVIDIA's RTX 4070 Ti which Maxsun suggests will come with a healthy factory overclock, but they have not yet elaborated on complete specifications. The five fan array isn't the only unique aspect of this new lineup as the overall visual design features a striking rounded shroud with a large magnetically attached top-facing RGB LED panel. The fan arrangement appears at first to be a traditional set of three downward facing ~100 mm fans, but a glance toward the top of the card reveals the last two ~40 mm fans flanking either end. These fans are configured as exhaust fans for the finstack, likely intended to assist in pulling heat up and away from the card instead of blasting it down into the motherboard. The 40 mm fan toward the front of the card appears as though it may actually provide some benefit as it sits directly above the forward VRM to the left side of the GPU die.

For those of you that remember the bygone era of 2012 you'll likely have a light bulb going off in the memory department since this is not the first GPU to pack an excessive amount of fans. Some of Gigabyte's Super Overclock series of GPUs featured five 40 mm fans on a bulky triple-slot design, specifically their GeForce GTX 680 Windforce 5X SOC and exceptionally limited Radeon HD 7970 SoC. Unlike Maxsun's MGG design, these designs arranged all of the fans along the top edge in a "pull" configuration to force air up through the dense fin stack and away from the motherboard. Similarly to Maxsun's MGG these were overclocked cards with a considerably unique visual aesthetic.

MEGA GAMER !

 

[CiHoYin]

Super fan!

 

[katzi]

Gawd that's HIDEOUS, did they have a team of 10 year olds design it?

 

[TheDeeGee]

Yeah... if you block airflow you gotta add more fans to overcome. And no one want's small noisy fans these days.

 

[Tomorrow]

Are you a MEGA GAMER?!

The card looks nice but not sure how necessary these little fans. 4000 series already pretty cool and quite. let's hope the little fans only kick in after some temp threshold that won't wear down pretty soon.

Looks like they tried to go for something Y2K-ish but failed. Still, at least it's more interesting visually than most others, even if not particularly pleasing.

I actually kind of like them, but regardless, I completely agree with you on the fact that I applaud any and every manufacturer who attempts to do something different than just black with RGB. The vast majority of mechanical keyboards: black with RGB, thr vast majority of motherboards: black with RGB, Videocards: Black with RGB, Chassis: Black with RGB, and so on and so on....

Don't get me wrong, I prefer black with RGB much more than what preceeded it: black and red a.k.a. The unofficial official gamer color scheme

Man that's ugly

 

[ExcuseMeWtf]

Pretty, but I bet those small fans will be screamers.

 

[Denver]

Definitely the ugliest GPU design I've ever seen. :/

 

[Metroid]

Plastic for gpus that cost 800 usd or more? wth!!! Now I know why EVGA left.

[jesdals]

Well ill gues the two small fans are going to hide the coil whine

 

[Legacy-ZA]

Looks like a loaf of bread.

 

[PapaTaipei]

Even someone totally oblivious to hardware would have designed something more efficient and less expensive. They could have done 3x120mm both sides.

 

[Minus Infinity]

Design looks like something I'd expect from the 1980's. Cheap and nasty to the extreme. But does it actually cool well?

 

[N3utro]

These 2 40mm fans will do nothing more than making the card louder.

It's just made to trick people into thinking more is better, but in this case it's not.

 

[TechLurker]

Aesthetics reminds me of late 90s/early 00s electronics, that were needlessly curved and wavy, like the old Bose and Sony nightstand multi-function CD/Radio/Alarm Clock systems, or some of the smaller boomboxes. It's not an aesthetic I like, but like some others have mentioned, I do like it's different from the usual generic RGB on Black crud.

 

[watzupken]

The plastic wrap around shroud is likely going to trap heat, instead of reduce heat. If there is a sensible design, I think I have to give it to Galax/ KFA SG series with the optional rear fan. If you have no need for it, you don't have to install it. But if you think you need better cooling, I think there are reviews out there that shows that it does help shave off a few degrees, without it sounding loud.

I disagree that is a sexy board. Red on black is undoubtedly cool asf.
