ASUS GeForce RTX 3070 With Noctua Cooling Appears
Back in August, we have seen rumors of ASUS collaborating with Austrian cooling specialist Noctua to develop a custom set of graphics cards based on custom cooling solutions provided by Noctua. In the early EEC listings, the references stood for a GPU based on NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3070 GPU with a custom cooling provided by Noctua. We thought that such a collaboration would open many doors for both companies. Today, the product is finally looking like a genuine offer, and we got the first set of pictures thanks to ASUS Vietnam.
The card, pictured below, has dual 8-pin power connectors to supply the chip and has three DisplayPort connectors accompanied by two HDMI outputs. The product is a three-slot body with Noctua's iconic brown theme, featuring two large fans to cool the heatsink. While we don't know any further information, the Vietnamese pricing is supposed to stand at 26 million VND, translating to around 1137.62 US Dollars at the writing date.

Still, they just strapped two NF-A12x25s to a heatsink and made a shroud around them. That's... a bit basic? Cooling and noise should be amazing though, I bet this could handle a 3090 even with its relatively "small" heatsink.
on topic, looks like it would preform extremely well but man is it a chunky boi
Also I feel this is slightly wasted on an RTX3070, its capable but thisseems to make more sense on a 3080ti
but what matters is what you do with it... :fear:
Expected the shroud to be more minimalist though, this one looks meh.
9.2cm are different and not so thick
This cooler looks ridiculous. As far as I like Noctua products and I had a chance to test nearly all their product line, then I see no point in this version of RTX3070. They could use 92mm fans or slim 12cm which are pretty good too. As some others said, it looks like a ghetto mod with a shroud around standard 12cm fans.
They stole my (and everyone else's) "design"! :D
Not to mention these have like 50% better cooling performance at half the noise levels compared to those garbage 10MM thick fans.
Also SLI is long dead, so no need to worry about card thickness, just give us GPUs with Case Fans.
My current 1070 has three Noctua NF-A9's, it never goes above 52C with the fans at just 700 RPM... dead silent.
diarrhoea colourtan and brown, would you? ;) If we're talking about an object that you look at every day, aesthetics do matter, imo. It has always boggled my mind that Noctua chose the (probably) ugliest colour combination to be used on their products. This has been my only reason to avoid them, just as I'll give this graphics card a hard pass too. Not only does its colour evoke bodily functions unrelated to computers, but it also looks too thick and heavy.Anyways, brown & tan tells people that you got the best
