Cooling
2.5-slot Design
The Prime RTX 5050 features a 2.5 slot design with a carefully arranged layout for the shroud, heatsink and heat pipes to let the three Axial-tech fans leverage chassis side-panel ventilation and deliver optimal thermal performance.

Axial-tech Upgrades
Three tried-and-true Axial-tech fans feature a smaller hub that facilitates longer blades and a barrier ring to increase downward air pressure for lower temperatures, less noise and higher performance.

0dB Technology
All three fans come to a standstill when GPU temperatures are below 50°C, letting you play less demanding games or perform light tasks in relative silence. Fans start up again when temperatures are over 55°C, establishing a speed curve that balances performance and acoustics for work or play.

Dual Ball Fan Bearings
Different bearing types have unique pros and cons. Dual-ball bearings excel at durability and can last up to twice as long as sleeve bearing designs.

Vented Backplate
Large backplate vents significantly enhance heat dissipation, helping to keep the GPU cooler during intense tasks. This additional airflow helps ensure optimal temperatures, boosting performance, longevity and stability by defending against overheating and thermal throttling.

MaxContact Design
MaxContact is a special ASUS manufacturing process that effectively expands the surface area of the heat spreader that sits atop the GPU by 5%, compared to traditional designs. This improves temperatures by up to 2°C, in concert with an extensive heatsink array and powerful Axial-tech fans.
