Question 1

Is there a long bracket included with this Low Profile card for a full size slot?

Accepted Answer

Yup! There is one included in the box.

Question 2

Does this arc a380 still have fan rev up and down repeatedly?

Accepted Answer

I've never noticed it if it did but I wasn't looking for it either. I use two in the same machine for video encoding so they see sustained usage and the machine is right next to my desk. That machine is a linux machine though so if Windows has driver issues with fan up/down I'll never see it.

Question 3

Can the fan part be removed using only passive cooling and yet be stable? Looking for a low-profile single slot Intel Arc card.

Accepted Answer

It might work if you're only using the video decode/encode but the max power of this GPU is around 75w and if it's being used, you will need active airflow over the fins most likely. Not sure if you can remove the shroud and fans without the heatsink. But I don't see why you would consider the majority of the width is the heatsink itself so you're get almost no benefit in any configuration.

Question 4

Can this VGA card fit into a low-profile computer setup?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the ASRock Low Profile Arc A380 Graphics Card is designed to fit into any slim or small form factor, making it suitable for a low-profile computer setup.

Question 5

Does this arc a380 still have fan rev up and down repeatedly? Fan issues on linux?

Accepted Answer

Some users have reported that the fans run constantly, which could imply issues with fan operation. This could potentially affect operation on Linux as well.

Question 6

can you pair this with a 65 watt am4 cpu along with a 300 psu and have enough power? or cutting it too close?

Accepted Answer

It has a 75W maximum draw, so long as you aren't powering more than ~50W of other things (mobo, drives, etc) it should be alright with a good quality PSU. One example build using a 5950X (105W tdp) + A380 drew about 233W under a gaming load.

Question 7

Can anyone confirm if the full size bracket comes with this card for sure?

Accepted Answer

Yup! There is one included in the box.

Question 8

Can anyone confirm in no uncertain terms this card will or does come with the full size bracket as well?

Accepted Answer

Yup! There is one included in the box.

Question 9

Can someone confirm in no uncertain terms this comes with a full size bracket as well?

Accepted Answer

Yup! There is one included in the box.

Question 10

Can someone confirm for sure this GPU comes with both a low profile and full size bracket?

Accepted Answer

Yup! There is one included in the box.
