Navi Thermals

I am interested in the possibility of buying a Navi card but thusfar all I see is blowers and everyone usually rails against that design so are most people just waiting for partner cards to come out with open air coolers or are people using the blower and having it work ok>

Blowers are not all evil like people want you to think, they have their uses.

In SFF builds they are better, as they exhaust all the hot air etc.

I used the Blower RX480 and it was fine, a little noisy, but nothing unbearable.

 

The navi cooler seems to be fine, not too noisy.

Well here is my dilemma... I have an i5 9400F in an NZXT 200 ITX case and I have an open air RTX 2060 in it at the moment.  

However the Sales Newegg had on stuff lead me to purchase a motherboard and an R7 2700 that I will either put the open air 2060 on or I will end up with a new higher end card for it not sure.  Was thinking navi maybe but not really sure if I should go ahead and put a blower in the itx case on the intel and move the 2060 to the AMD or what the hell to do LOL

Worth noting that I am going to use a full ATX setup for the Ryzen because the X470 board I got was full ATX
