DirectCU III with 10mm Heatpipe
30% Cooler and 3X Quieter Performance
Exclusive DirectCU III cooling technology features two exclusive 10 mm direct-GPU contact heat-pipes that transports 40% more heat away from the GPU and outperforms reference designs, achieving up to 30% cooler gaming performance.
How does DirectCU make STRIX graphics cards so cool?
Fewer interface materials between the GPU and heatpipe promotes more efficient heat transfer.
Current GPUs consume a maximum of 210W, so DirectCU III uses three primary heatpipes and two cavalry heatpipes to provide different heat transfer ratings for complete and efficient cooling.

Patented Triple Wing-blade 0dB Fans
Max Air Flow with 105% More Air Pressure
DirectCU III features triple 0dB fans engineered with a patented, new wing-blade design that delivers maximum air flow and improved 105% static pressure over the heat sink, while operating at 3X quieter volumes than reference cards. The 0dB fans also let you enjoy games like League of Legends® and StarCraft® in complete silence — because the fan stops completely when the GPU temperature remains below a set level. This makes DirectCU III the coolest and quietest graphics card in the market.

How does the patented wing-blade fan design maximize airflow efficiency?
Inspired by the U.S. Air Force A-10 attack jet, ASUS' patented wing-blade fan design maximizes airflow and increases static air pressure by 105% compared to conventional fan designs.
Conventional Fan
Less airflow efficiency
Vortex comes upward to the top of the wing and generates a force downward at the wingtip that results in energy loss. The fan's smaller blade size and larger projected gap area delivers less airflow and air pressure.
Patented Wing-blade Fan
Maximized airflow efficiency
Wingtips with folded ends act as a shield to block the vortex and reduce energy loss. The fan's bigger blade size and smaller projected gap area result in maximum airflow and 105% improvement in air pressure.
