Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

The fans are quiet up to 1100 rpm, up to 1300 it is not audible during the game, it can already strain higher (the system is silent, open, hangs behind the TV set, so I drown for silence).
It undervolts perfectly (I got such an instance): 1680 MHz 0.746v - consumes 200-240 watts, while the FPS decrease is not large, and the temperatures drop significantly, as do the propeller revolutions to 800-1100 rpm. I don’t see the point in overclocking, consumption / heat dissipation increases many times, exceeds the performance gain.

Pros

Price if taken from USA/Europe. Performance - 3090, but less memory. Not high for this size turntables (the screws themselves are 10cm, the card is a little higher than 11cm, it can be critical for someone). Good memory cooling (+ 6-12° from the chip), rarely reaches 80° (for other vendors, it's easy for 100°). Temperatures rarely go beyond 70°, with fans up to 1300 rpm, and with undervolting generally up to 60-65° (only Cyberpunk, without frame limitation, it "roasts" it). Customizable backlight - who needs it.

Cons

Fans work strangely: if you set a stop fan (shutdown below 40 ° or 50 °), then at startup the speed is immediately at 1800, then after 2 seconds it drops to the parameters in the graph, so it fixed the minimum at 700 rpm, without turning off the turntables ( in idle time it strains when it howls periodically). Meager equipment: A card, 2 adapters, a sticker and a disk with instructions, in principle, it suited me, but modestly for the top (Gagabyte has the same aurus master in principle). The box is 10 times larger than the card - for the safety of transportation, of course, a plus.
