statement nonreference graphics cards have better Cooling than reference designs now this one isn't completely untrue as many of these open style beefy looking cooling solutions are capable of dissipating more heat from your GPU however they aren't always the best choice for your system you see reference cards and some board partner designs often come with blower style coolers in which air is forced out the back of the card and out of your case instead of circulating it around and in smaller builds such as miniitx systems a blower style cooler can be a superior Choice as a card with an open cooler can dump so much heat back into the case that it could cause thermal issues with your other components like your motherboard and CPU another one I hear a lot is it's dangerous to set your
