ASUS STRIX-GTX1070-O8G-Gaming Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 Graphics Card - Black

Product Information

It shows 2 chasis fans, but I can't control them or anything all the options in fan expert is greyed out for chasis fans. In the end, both are meant to ensure increased durability and longer life expectancy for capacitors. This particular 1070 features everything the regular DUAL ASUS 1070 GPU has but boasts clock speeds that sit significantly higher. The Strix also manages to best its peers in this title, no doubt due to newer drivers in an newer title.

Stable at 73 degrees Celsius max on furmark even with the fans plugged into black 5v 3 pin connectors instead of the standard white 12v ones (it did worry me a little because the fans were quite slow spinning). Asus Service Centre or Asus Authorized Service Provider is not responsible for damage or loss of any personal data, programs, or removable storage media. Users can redeem a code for the game with all valid purchases, and this has resell value even for those who aren't interested in the game itself. Combining the measured voltages and currents allows us to derive a total power consumption we can easily confirm with our instrumentation by taking readings at the card's power connectors. It remains to be seen whether this will deter consumers or not, and a lot will depend on pricing which has been pretty volatile recently.The fans are all semi-passive and will switch off completely whenever the GPU is below 55°C, which covers all light and idle workloads. The large heatsink also makes contact with the VRM circuitry, while a metal plate draws heat away from most – not all – of the memory modules. Core clocks on the Strix, in Gaming mode (default) show a boost clock of 1,835 MHz (actual of 1,974 MHz). You more of a cost premium going from Gold to Platinum rating on a PSU than you do from Bronze to Silver of even Gold.

The GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card delivers the incredible speed and power of NVIDIA Pascal™ the most advanced GPU architecture ever created.So much so that nVidia even intentionally nerfed the performance of the x70 series because its performance was so close to the x80. whereas the cost penalty for the increased performance to move up to from the 1080 to 1080 Ti is only 1. If you’re a fan of the ASUS DUAL series but desire more than the standard 1070 speeds then the DUAL OC 1070 could be what you’re looking for.

The K70 RGB TKL comes available with a selection of 100% CHERRY MX Red, Silent Red, or SPEED Silver mechanical key switches and is a tenkeyless design. While exclusive Auto-Extreme Technology with Super Alloy Power II components for superior stability. The large baseplate, meanwhile, features the company’s MaxContact technology, essentially a precision-machined surface that is said to be up to 10 times flatter and offer twice as much contact as other designs, whatever they may be.I am also disappointed that the profile control for the fan card will not let me reduce fan speed to less than 40%. This Limited Warranty does not cover any software applications or programs; non-Asus products or non-Asus branded peripherals. It's running cool enough to ensure the highest possible GPU Boost frequencies allowed by the low power target. I almost bought a 1080 but judging from the performance difference it simply wasn't worth it, either.

HOWEVER, and this is a big "however", when gaming the fan kicks up to near light speed and begin to sounds like voyager one blasting into the vastness of deep space. While three of the ICs receive some extra cooling thanks to a thermal pad connecting them to the cooler's heat sink, there is one module that gets almost no cooling at all. To solve this problem, simply hook up 2 (max) case fans to their two 4-pin headers and let the ASUS FanConnect software ramp up those fans for the best cooling solution for the entire system.The wait is over though and now we’re here to cover everything you could want to know about the Maximus VI Extreme!
