The new shroud on the TUF 3060 is all-aluminium and can add a robust flair to your build. The top-side RGB element can be customized with Armoury Crate to sync up with other ASUS components to enable uniform lighting. Most of the rear is swathed in a protective metal backplate that prominently features a wide vent. The vent allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled back into the cooler.

A MaxContact heat spreader efficiently transfers heat into a new 2.7-slot heatsink. On top, three Axial-tech fans work in tandem to drive air through the entire array, helping to keep temperature under tight control. The fans now spin in new directions! The two side fans spin counterclockwise to reduce turbulence. To help eliminate unnecessary noise, a stop mode halts all fans when the GPU temp falls below 50 degrees and power consumption is low.
