Why does a GPU have a pre-installed fan?

While buying a custom-made PC or getting a GPU upgrade for your PC, you must have noticed that GPUs have a pre-installed fan unit. Depending on the design of the product i.e., GPU, there can either be a two-fan (Zotac RTX 3060 TI) or a three-fan (Gigabyte RTX 3060 Price). Hence, you must have thought about the need and importance of such fan units. 

The simplest answer to is that GPU gets heated quickly and requires a cooling unit. Hence, the presence of an in-built fan helps to keep the heat level of the GPU low. In the case of a low-powered GPU, you can get the option of a single fan or no fan at all. But such GPUs are not effective at all and are not suitable for gaming. 

In the absence of a fan/cooling unit, the GPU starts a meltdown or can experience a sudden shutdown after reaching a certain heat level. However, considering the environment in which the PC has been placed it is further recommended to get an external cooling unit installed. If you are using a high-powered GPU then they may produce high heat. Such include MSI RTX 3060 Ventus 2x 12G OC or Zotac RTX 3060 TI. The heat is generated due to conducting heavy programming, gaming, or calculations. 

Further, the importance of a fan for GPU can be understood by focusing on its operations. The fan is attached to the heat sink of the GPU, which is directly connected to the GPU core. When GPU is in operation, it generates heat and transfers it to the heart sink. Meanwhile, the fans maintain the temperature within the heatsink. Hence, it helps in converting hot air to cold air, which further cools down the core of the GPU. 

Wrapping Up

If you are looking for a high-performing GPU, definitely you would get a fan installed on GPU. As you can get two fan-mounted GPUs MSI RTX 3060 Ventus 2x 12G OC and Zotac RTX 3060 TI. Also, you can get Gigabyte RTX 3060 Price with three fans. So you must not experiment with these fans by removing them.
