AMD Vega RX 56 With Triple-Fans Surfaces
Interesting, if you have had a peek at some of the photos in our unboxing of Vega, you should have noticed that the last photo showed Vega 56. That product has a blower single fan style cooler. New photos however surfaced of what looks like a reference card, yet with three fans.
The triple fan cooler has another interesting thing, a very small PCB. If you look at the photos that have been posted by tooliustech on FB btw, you can see that is has a 17cm Mini-ITX sized PCB. That card has a 1x 6-pin and 1x 8-pin power connector as well.
Interesting eh? Have a peek.

Indeed its not really custom.
Its made it by Sapphire(who made all Firepro cards) for AMD.Still reference card.
Maybe will see in future a RX Vega Nano card.

This kind of heatsink is for people like me
I personally absolutely don't mind it, in my case, big coolers served me better than sleek cooling solutions. Used to have Palit 970 with small PCB but with an extended cooler and it was one of the quietest and best performing cards on the market. Now I using TRI-TRI-TRIPLE SLOT 1080, absolutely massive, but it fits the case nicely and is as silent after running for hours as it can get.
The reason the card is so long is because for some people, the bigger the card, the MOAR performance it gets. i call them Rice GPU's.
So remember kids, never buy a gpu if its small, go for the BIGGEST one, cos it performs better.
Sounds like sarcasm but is true in this case
BIGGEST cooler to the very least will mean lower temps = better potential performance for longer sessions and lower overall noise.

Now that´s a decent cooler and looks very nice too.

That would be the first graphic card with scaffolding

Looks very similar to my Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury, except this one has AMD branding instead of Sapphire.
Also, to everyone in the comment section who doesn't understand the point of putting a big heat-sink on a short PCB: Big heat-sink equals good cooling performance at low noise levels. The short PCB actually is advantageous for air flow and increases cooling performance even more than it would be with a long PCB, which blocks the air flow more. Pretty simple really. Don't get why so many have trouble to understand...
