Anyway, I don't know how long it's been up, but Noctua has a page for their ASUS collaboration and they make some claims about how the card perform in terms of cooling and noise:

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.

Apparently, it's not just the fans, but the whole cooler. And yeah, hopefully that will show the way for other cards in the future.

That Noise level difference is quite large, I'm guessing that's the whole point of Noctua edition.

Indeed. After all, if Noctua is known for something is for making quiet products.
