v2 runs hotter and louder ofc because it has less surface area to cool
L=300 W=130 H=57.6 mm V2
L=336 W=140 H=58 mm V1
Using this reddit comment as reference for the temp diff

https://www.reddit.com/r...So it doesn't have better cooling like the other comment says but i found benchmarks showing that v2 is 2% faster ?? Find it a bit weird
So V2 is louder and runs 5-10c hotter but has +2% performances make what you want with all this info im choosing v1, i prefer system running cooler and quieter than +2% perf, this gpu is allready a beast 2% is nothing
