Not much of an improvement in the temps. when the fans are set to mid or high, but the card should be a lot quieter. |
That's a huge difference in noise levels. 2x 120MM vs 3x 92mm you can see that having an additional smaller fan and needing to ramp up much higher to match the performance of the Noctua. I'm surprised no other GPU manufactures have really looked into using larger fans, most capping out at 100mm.
Hopefully others will use this kind of design. Maybe with lower profile fans because that 3070 is thicc.
