Nice. I'm hoping to see MSI and ASUS release some axial 480's before too long, I tend to prefer their cooling systems because they're low noise but still very cool. An MSI 480 leaked, but MSI confirmed it was a fake sadly.

I'm sure MSI will launch a Twin Frozr version of the 480, just like Asus will have a Strix and Gigabyte a Windforce/G1 cards.

Personally, I prefer blower coolers because they exhaust the hot air out of the case, but some of those cards axial cooler cards have the advantage of having a 0 Fan mode while on idle.

I have never heard about this. How can I see the difference between a blower fan and axial fan? If I look inside my computer case, is there an easy way to see which is which from all the fans inside (PSU, GPU, CPU etc)?

I assume blowing fan is most common from the way you two speak.

For example my Gigabyte R9 290 Windforce, what are those fans?
