What is a quintuplet of fans for a hardware?

Dear Mary G Greaney,

I heard your question and now I am giving you some information about Gigabyte’s Super Overclock GTX 680 with 5 fans, which may fulfill your interest. You know, most of the gamers should be familiar with the Gigabyte’s Super Overclock series of graphics card and if you are one of them you’ll want to spend your money to buy the most outrageous and fastest graphics card.

The card is still in development and clock speed has yet to be finalized, but some specialist says that it will perform close to a GeForce GTX 690. The card has radical and massive WINDFORCE 5x custom coolers. It has five small fans and a metal cover in order to shape the air flow across the card. It also consists of nine 6mm copper heat pipes and a large size vapor chamber cooler which can dissipate up to 500 watts of heat.

It’ll be built on a 2 ounce copper PCB with Japanese solid capacitors. Its clock speed is not given yet but experts say that it will come with a factory overclock and OC Guru II Overclocking software. And it will be available in July 2012.

What is a quintuplet of fans for a hardware?

Gigabytes GeForce GTX 680, features aggressive clock speeds and cooling solution. This is a WindForce 5x graphics card solution and has a five fans (5 fans stand for “5X” or also called quintuplet by fans).

This is to make sure that the hot air from the heat sinks is ventilated in a single or one direction and not on the entire card heating other components of the motherboard. Also called the "Anti Turbulence Cooling”, the air proceeds to the heat sink and blown upwards. This helps to make a better performance than the reference card as it has a faster, cooler and quieter than others.
