The coolers work well, but at the cost of noise. under any gaming load they are exceedingly noticeable. The classic use case for this form factor is often servers, where noise doesn’t matter. you also see these on more professional cards, but their whole power budget is often under 100W, so remotely the same category.
Aside from anything else, the cooler looks spiffy. Not an over-the-top RGB monstrosity, and it’s obviously designed to be compact.
