2 Fan vs 3 Fan GPU: MSI RTX 4070 SUPER VENTUS 2X vs VENTUS 3X [Performance, Noise, Cooling & More]

price difference between the MSI RTX 4070 super Ventus 3x and 2x is just $20 does the Ventus 3x offer better performance lower temperature and most importantly lower noise levels let's find out let's start with visual inspection first the size obviously the 2x is shorter and and in terms of height the 2x protrudes just a little bit more just because of that shroud check it out the height difference is small but it is there and in terms of length the 3x is approximately 1 mm longer other visually noticeable differences are obviously this one has two fans this one has three fans but apart from that Ventus 2x has three heat pipes and a smaller Heat syn whereas Ventus 3x has a much larger hit syn and six heat pipes three are directed to this side and three to this side so theoretically 3x should provide much better cooling both are powered by a single 16 pin power connector just a small rent I actually prefer how this power connector is located it is much easier to work with when you're are trying to plug in the power cable or unplug it it is more convenient on the 3x graphics card than on the 2x because the Shroud gets in the way just a little bit it's not a problem just a convenience factor allow me to elaborate you see with Ventus 2x you have very little room between the Shroud and the power connector and they're almost in line with each other so yeah there is just no way that someone has fingers as thin as that to get them in there to get a good grip on the power connector in order to remove it so not so much of a problem on this side because even with something like this CPU Cooler that's in the way you still have a lot of room to just get your finger in there but to remove the power connector safely and conveniently you kind of have to have a grip on both sides so you kind of just have to try and get your finger in there kind of just bend the Shroud a little bit and then just wiggle it and hope for the best I'll show you this unedited there we go so yeah not the easiest experience but you know most people will probably not do this very often because just build your PC plug this in and leave it be until the next upgrade in contrast the power connector on the Ventus 3x is more accessible and I can actually get a grip on it with my thumb so it is easier to remove although due to how the connector is you still have to kind of struggle a little bit but it is removed much easier as for the rest of the setup I am using this cyber power pre-built PC featuring The I 74700 KF CPU cooled by MSI cor liquid m240 CPU Cooler MSI z790 Tomahawk Wi-Fi motherboard Kingston 2 tbte nvme SSD and 32 GB of ddr5 5600 cl40 memory powered by the MSI a850 GL power supply you can order this pre-built PC at the link in the description below or build your own using my Amazon affiliate links to buy buy all the parts you need the Ventus 2x is in let's have a look at its performance and with the Ventus 2x we got 83 FPS average 68 minimum Ventus 3x is in and hold on looking at it now I think this graphics card length looks better in this type of builds the 2x is just a little bit too short check it out just comparison I'm running the cyberpunk 2077 Benchmark with the Ventus 3x on the same graphic settings for obvious reasons just to compare it Apples to Apples the results are in and we have the same 83 FPS average and 68 FPS minimum so there is absolutely no performance difference between the Ventus 3x and 2x right here to test noise levels I'm using my big quiet PC build because it is indeed very quiet have a listen this right here is a microphone essentially when the system is Idle I cannot hear it over the ambient noise in my room let's start with Ventus 2X and this is just your normal average gaming experience room temperature is at 21 that's Celsius so basically just your normal room temperature normal living conditions as for the numbers the GPU fan is at 2,000 RPM GPU temperature is at 72 well 71 72° don't mind that it's at 98% utilization because I do have an i5 14400 CPU in this system so yeah it can't quite reach 99 or 100% unfortunately but this is a very small deviation that should not affect the results what matters is how is the noise level and unfortunately I can hear the GPU over my case fans and over the CPU fan it's not annoyingly loud but it is certainly audible let me give you a little taste by bringing a microphone close to it now it's time for the Ventus 3x noise test the game has been running for approximately 20 minutes which is more than enough to warm up the GPU and there it is sitting there let's have a look at the temperature it's at 64° and the RPM is much lower hovering close to well I would say 1,600 RPM but most importantly the Ventus 3x is significantly quieter I can still hear it but it is not much louder than the case fans at this point which means a more quiet gaming experience and to answer the main question is the Ventus 3x worth the extra $20 in my opinion yes that is because I very much prefer a quiet experience when I'm gaming let me know what you think in the comments below are you going to choose Ventus 2x or 3x either way links to buy both
