how does asus gpu "dust proof" works?

[SAVE-12-HK]

it claims it has ip5x dust resistance

 

while searching for temps of the tuf i found this dust proof feature...

 

so dust sticks on any surface and even more easily build up on moving parts

 

is this just a gimmick?

If you look at what IP5X means, then you'll see that it's really just a load of nonsense.

 

"Dust protected. Limited Ingress [...] Will not interfere with operation"

Yeah, imaging that, a GPU functions even if its dusty. Obviously it still functions and obiously its protected, since it has a shroud and a backplate and the PCB is covered in some material to stop contacts from bridging.

IP5X is not "Dust-Proof"
