Because that's the point of a single fan cooler, if you were to add a second blower type fan it would essentially end up with the fans "fighting" each other and trapping the hot air. The only other option for a stock card is an aio to dump the heat out.

To All,
Don't forget to take the time to send AMD feedback on the card & the software.
Report form: https://www.amdsurveys.com/se/5A1E27D23A3DE966
I spent a couple of hours trying the 7 in Dirt 4, Battfield 1 and Battlefront 2 this evening and performance is great at 1440UW.

Hows acoustics for you? End up getting it to run quieter?
The fans won't "fight" with each other if each fan has its own area and pipe through the radiator to throw the hot air. They can be separately and independently running from each other. Must be more imagination used in these damn fans because this turns out to be a trivial problem that no one has ever fixed.
If it was that simple do you not think the thermal engineers at nvidia and amd would have done that by now? 1 blower fan is bad enough, 2 is asking for a headache. Right now there's only 3 real options for cards coming out of the factory, a blower design, an axial design, or an aio. They each have their pro's and cons.
1080ti performance for 1080ti money 18 months after 1080ti launch. What's there not to like?
RTX 2080 owners seem perfectly happy with it

It's quieter than I was expecting it to be after seeing the reviews, I've got my PC on the floor next to me, It's got good airflow so I limited the gpu fans to not go beyond 61% & it's a mild background noise & it hasn't been throttling, The games louder so it's okay to live with until I figure out putting it under water. There's not a hint of coil whine either so I think I got a decent one.
Should give undervolting a try to see how it is.
They've had the lube ready for Nvidia to come at them...RTX 2080 owners seem perfectly happy with it

Simple?! But they literally don't do anything. Those designs were invented 100 years ago. What new did they present?
What?
Why are the heatpipes oriented towards the inside of the case and not towards the ports plate where they can directly connect to the whole chassis and have much larger surface area to dissipate the heat?
Why are the fins of the radiator oriented so the hot air directly goes inside the case?
The design is screwed in its philosophy.

Because the gpu die on a pcb is mounted to the left hand side, more or less directly above the pcie connector. There's not as much room behind that to have a large set of heatpipes as you can see in your image. You could put a few in but they would be pretty short compared to the length they can be facing the other way, so less surface area, worse thermals.
The fin orientation of a heatsink depends more on the type of fan system its using. If its a blower then they're normally horizontal to channel the air to the exhaust at the rear, if its an axial fan setup then they're usually vertical as the fans push the air out at the top and bottom of the heatsink and less so towards the back of the case, so they're vertical to help channel the air in that direction.
Yeah in US even the Asus is at $699 alongside all other cards. In UK though £800 ($1035)

Dear AMD, your default fan profile is ****ing **** and oversights like this do detriment to your company as a whole. Yours, The Intermet.

Nah it's the cooler as usual. The fan profile is crap as the heat sink from what i have seen does not make proper contact. That's a proper fail and maybe even confirms this card was rushed out due to 7nm problems with Navi. I wouldn't touch the stock card but if a decent cooler gets put on there Vega 7 should be decent.
Why are people arguing about the price and if it is cheaper than a RTX2080.
Look at this very site (because talking about others is against the forum policy)
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Case closed.
Does this make the Radeon V11 and bad card, no not at all, its price in relation to its competition is at present one of the much lesser issues that it faces, noise level, power draw, driver reliability, performance. All these come before the price issues, in my opinion.
Its good to see AMD competing, but they should have waited and polished the product before launching it.
