What customers say about "Features"

MSI Radeon RX 580 GAMING X 8G Graphics Card

Fan very quite and temperature is never above 32c on idle.
This card is always cool, when you are in windows usage only the fans will stop working and they will turn on only if the temperature goes over 60 Celcius.
Runs quiet, never hit 70c. Good GPU for my needs.
GPU is really great. Quiet fans and keeps cool my case.
Just know that this thing runs hot, and the fan profile needs adjusted, if not more settings that this, possibly even under-clocking.

MSI GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING X 6G Graphics Card

Its beautiful with its RGB MSI logo (adjustable with MSI gaming app) LED red fan shroud and sturdy backplate.
Quiet fans (literally the quietest card I've ever had). I like this GPU.
My CPU fan is louder than this card. Very quiet.
Great for a quiet build, the Twin Frozr fans won't spin unless a certain temperature is reached. Great feature.
LED colors are not consistent. Red plastics of fan shroud are different shades. Have to run "Gaming App" software to use LED functions.
