If you've been wondering if Nvidia's next generation of GeForce cards will need even bigger coolers than those we currently see, then fear not, it seems the chip giant has been experimenting with heatsink and fan designs to cope with power levels no greater than those seen with Ada Lovelace and Ampere GPUs.
That's according to a report by Benchlife.info which has said that information from a cooling module factory points to Nvidia testing four designs at the moment, ranging from 250 W up to 600 W. That last figure might seem ridiculously big but it's no different to how coolers were designed for the current RTX 40-series cards, after the big power hikes seen with Ampere GPUs (RTX 30-series). It's also worth noting that's the limit of the much-maligned 12-pin power connection Nvidia has been using for its cards this generation.
