AFOX, a Taiwanese manufacturer, announces its very first RTX 40. To get started on the series, what better than to offer an RTX 4090 from NVIDIA. An RTX 4090 certainly, but an RTX 4090 Blower. A card that should not be very popular with individuals… On the other hand, for workstationsThis is an other story !
AFOX offers an RTX 4090 Blower!
If you were looking for a compact RTX 4090, this is probably the model for you. As can be seen, the card arrives in a strict dual-slot format and measures just 266mm in length according to the brand’s spec sheet. In addition, the cooling system is of the type blower with a radial fan mounted at the rear of the shroud.
Concretely, this type of heatsink aims to circulate the air through a network of aluminum fins by expelling the hot air through its angle. PCIe. Note the presence of large openings so as not to restrict the flow of air.
In fact, this isn’t the first card to come out with this design. At least two other cards share this design (ici et To be). Given the graphics chip used, you will have understood that the efficiency of this type of heatsink is quite relative. Surveys were made on a similar map and clearly, it’s hot and it’s noisy.

Nevertheless, it is a model that will certainly find its audience, particularly at the level of warstations and servers. In fact, its compact format makes it possible to integrate a large number of them within an installation. Moreover, as we saw icion certain pro tasks, the RTX 4090 is more efficient than the RTX 6000 Ada which is much more expensive.
Unfortunately, the selling price is not known, ditto for availability… Although we suspect that this card is not for us… Well, not for France.
