6. Manteniment
6.1 Sistema de refrigeració
The GIGABYTE RTX 4080 SUPER AERO OC features the WINDFORCE cooling system, which includes 110mm original blade fans, composite copper heat pipes, a large copper plate direct-touch GPU, 3D active fans, and screen cooling. This design ensures high-efficiency heat dissipation.

Imatge: Més deview of the WINDFORCE cooling system, illustrating the fan design and heat pipe integration for efficient thermal management.
The large copper plate directly contacts the GPU and VRAM, working with composite heat pipes to efficiently transfer heat to the heatsink. The extended heatsink design, known as Screen Cooling, allows airflow to pass through, further enhancing heat dissipation.
