At long last my old GTX 1070 is going :D

Im looking at the 4070 Super, and have a couple questions.

Will my current kit be ok?
Intel Core i7-12700K 3.60GHz
MSI MAG Z690 Tomahawk WIFI DDR4 - Intel Z690 DDR4
Kingston Fury Beast 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C18 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit
Seasonic Focus GX-750 750W 80+ Gold Modular Power Supply

At the moment I only have 2 1080 monitors, but hoping to upgrade to a 1440 model in the near future. (That will be another thread!)

The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER GAMING OC is the one Im going for.

3 fans is better than two, correct?

On the gigabyte website it states active cooling, is this the feature that stops the fans when not gaming?

You rig will be absolutely fine. I upgraded from a 1080Ti to a 4070S FE and it's literally doubled framerates in games at 1440p. I'm running a 9900k and DDR4. Most games barely trouble the CPU - I'd say average CPU burn is around 45-55% in Afterburner. So you'll be fine, enjoy the upgrade - I certainly have. :)
