Gigabyte Launches AMD Radeon RX 6600 Eagle 8G Graphics Card
Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of premium gaming hardware, today announced a new AMD Radeon RX 6600 graphics card - the Gigabyte Radeon RX 6600 Eagle 8G. The Eagle graphics card is the best choice for those who desire a unique design optimized for power efficiency and durability, and the ability to experience incredible high-framerate 1080p gaming.
AMD Radeon RX 6600 graphics cards are based on the breakthrough AMD RDNA 2 gaming architecture, designed to deliver the optimal balance of performance and power efficiency. Offering 32 MB of high-performance AMD Infinity Cache, 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, AMD Smart Access Memory technology and other advanced features, the new graphics cards are designed to bring next-generation desktop gaming experiences to the midrange market. They also support AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution, an open-source spatial upscaling solution designed to increase framerates in select titles while delivering high-resolution gaming experiences.The Gigabyte Windforce 3X cooling system features three unique blade fans, alternate spinning, composite copper heat pipes in direct contact with the GPU, 3D active fans, screen cooling and graphene nano lubricant that work together to provide efficient heat dissipation. These cooling technologies keep temperatures low at all times, resulting in higher and more stable performance. The middle fan spins in reverse to optimize airflow for heat dissipation, enabling more efficient performance at a lower temperature. Screen cooling extends the heatsink to allow air to pass through, providing better heat dissipation and preventing heat accumulation so to improve stability. In addition, graphene nano lubricant can extend the fan life by 2.1 times, delivering nearly the lifespan of the double ball bearing while providing quiet operation.
The design of Eagle graphics card is inspired by science-fiction with mechanical materials, providing a transparent cover and bright logo. In addition, the back plate not only strengthens the overall structure of the graphics card, but also prevents the PCB from bending or sustaining damage. GIGABYTE graphics cards use a multi-phase power supply, providing over-temperature protection and load balancing for each MOSFET and allowing the MOSFET to operate at a lower temperature. The Ultra Durable-certified chokes and capacitors provide excellent performance and longer system life.

70C, you're right, it'll be mostly harmless. However, 80C is where silicon starts to get "iffy" with is semi-conductor properties. Electron migration begins to be a problem as well as heat induced electron pathway degradation. Saying that 80C is acceptable depends greatly on what "acceptable" means to someone personally.
Me? I think 75C is barely acceptable. I strive to make sure the temps on my system, except for VRMs, stay below 70C, ideally 60C as a ceiling. So this card with it huge heatsink and triple fans will maintain a temperature threshold that I would consider acceptable.
And, again, we aren't looking at those temperature ranges in the first place. I showed you a mid-range dual fan cooler that can keep a more power hungry card well below 80. Given that RDNA2 cards are just as out of stock as Ampere cards, that's quite unlikely.

What I would like to see done on a card of this power (120 - 140W) is a shorter, yet taller (= more rectangular) cooler with a single 140mm fan on top. Something akin to the Palit KalmX series, but obviously actively cooled. The large single fan spinning at low rpm should do wonders for temperatures and especially noise levels.

It's even a single slot card, with both higher base and higher boost clocks (and certainly much higher dBa :D)
Where are your system specs?
3070 is 85% faster.
But I don't think that was the point - rather that the 3070 Turbo is kind of the antithesis of this card, with woefully underbuilt cooling for a relatively power hungry card, rather than extremely overbuilt cooling for a low-power card.
Gigabyte used to have bad coilwhine problems with 900 and 1000 series gpus
My 980 Ti G1 has coil whine but not bad enough to destract me

"While running the benchmarks, we also found out that the ASUS Turbo GeForce RTX 3070 video card needs about 200 Watts of power. And, in the end, another important element is the heat produced by the video card. To see how hot the card gets, we ran Furmark for about an hour while monitoring the temperatures. What we found was that the ASUS Turbo GeForce RTX 3070 card doesn’t get hotter than 66 degrees Celsius (151 Fahrenheit). In other words, this is one cool graphics card!"
Now, it obviously won't be quiet at load, but in its primarily intended use case (AI, rendering), this isn't an issue.
