people wouldnt be complaining about these coolers if there wasnt an issue

Well we don't actually know there is one yet with this card do we?

So you have read the reviews already? Great...

People only complain because the exhaust port is too little, and of course they know a lot more than amd themselves

In fact, the people who actually used/heard the card first hand say that its a very quiet card. Ill just wait till the reviews come out, and then when it does hopefully turn out to be quiet, it should silence the critics.

I guess some will still complain about the port being too little

if were talking about heat problems your right we dont know, if its the fans noise to airflow ratio, its probably going to be the same as the rest from the previous 3 years.

i just think it wouldnt have any negative impacts if they decided to put in a bigger fan (a 1-2 cm increase would probably work just fine and not be too hard to fit in there) if they are plugging in power through the top, they they must have extra room up there.

imagine every review showing how their stock cooler can keep it cooler and quieter than the competition. alot of people would look at that as a 50$ savings over having an aftermarket one, or waiting a year for the nice coolers to come out on cards that go for 30-50$ over the rest. noise is a big selling point, and they should recognize it finally.

Yeh I agree with the issue on noise. I will be swapping out the stock cooler for an after market one simply because I like absolute silence.
