    I have their RX 480 with swappable fans. Still in use today. I love the swappable fans and think it should be standardized for gpus.. and even maybe chassis fans. Being able to pull them from their housing would make case cleaning so much faster and convenient.

    excellent review sir. love the idea of easily replaceable gpu fans. not really sure why it hasn't caught on more than it has already...

    Great video. When I got my 4090, I mounted it vertically because physics are real. I watch a couple of repair channels and between seeing cracked video card pcb's and broken pci-e slots on motherboards, I figured it was the wise thing to do.

    we have had these for a loong time as case fans , finally someone put them in a gpu with a quick detach attach system similar to the ones in sapphire cards like the rx 480 back in 2016

    I've had numerous XFX cards over the years, dating back to the ATI days. I've never regretted purchasing any of them unlike some lesser brands. These days it's either XFX or Sapphire AMD cards for me (unless EVGA decides to start releasing AMD cards).

    One of my favorite cards ever was a 4890 I got at best buy for $199. Completely insane and supported DX10.1 which was nice in Stalker COP. But sadly the fan died and I just couldn't manage to replace it.

    I remember the xfx 480 had removable fans. Great idea to be able to replace them.

    Sapphire started doing replaceable fans with the 400 series, so maybe it's at least partly a patent issue? Though they were (and probably still are?) held in with (a?) screw(s?) (each?).
    The magnetic power/ground/tach/PWM ring... Presumably that just means it doesn't need to be lined up? It is rather cool :b
    I think with EVGA cards it was possible to see the speed of each fan, and as there are 4 contacts on these fans it would be possible to see the speeds if it's implemented in software, whether that be XFX's own, MSI Afterburner or AMD Adrenaline... But are they?

    Now if Josh's mic and stand only had the same magnetic tech he could clean the back of his mic and stand 😅

    Looks like an overcomplicated solution to a simple problem of making the whole shroud of the card easily removed to be able to clean fans from the bottom and get accumulated stuff out of the radiator.
