So for a bit of tangent here... (trying to avoid a separate thread for this)
I'm wondering if anyone here has a ASUS DUAL RTX 4070 EVO that could do me a favour?
Could you measure how thick the cooler is from the PCB (not including the PCB) to the top of the cooler? I'm seeing the cooler thickness is approx 50mm but I'm guessing that includes the backplate and stuff.
I'm trying to figure out if it will fit in an ML08 which states it has 43mm clearance for the GPU measured from the PCB to the edge of the cooler (with a further 4.9mm/7.9mm clearence for the backplate)
Also after reading the thread, would people get the EVO version?
I've not been able to find any reviews of the Evo.ASUS have been a little sneaky with this. The EVO OC is the DUAL`s cheaper, noisier brother. You need to look closely to spot the differences.
Plenty of reviews for the DUAL, less so for the EVO version. I went backwards and forwards when looking for my 4070 Super.
Ended up with the Tri-Fan Zotac![]()
I was hoping it was mostly the faulty fan causing your issue, I missed the bit where you said the replacement was also bad.I can't imagine how loud the EVO would be in a tiny, cramped case with not much airflow. If I was you I'd look for a different model
The Ti is not affected by this "issue", as it has the better cooler.I think my 4070 ti oc form asus is fairly quiet? I'm sat right next to it. its alway subjective

I guess the one nice thing with my case is that the GPU fans would be up against the vented side of the case so would be sucking in air from outside the case. But because it's so close to the side I really need to know how deep the cooler is.
Also, is yours the 4070 or 4070 Super version?

Asus basically thought they could take advantage of how efficient the 4070 Super is by fitting the cooler from a lesser model, and selling it cheaper.
They look so similar, most consumers would not have a clue.
From what I came across when I was deciding what to buy, the EVO cooler is smaller, with different heatpipes, smaller fans and different fin direction on the heatsink.Even the packaging looks almost identical from what I can tell. I wonder why there's so few reviews for the EVO OC model considering GPU-Z tells me it was released in January this year
The one in looking at is a 4070 (I wanted the 8-pin power connector), so I'm hoping it may be a bit cooler with it's lower power draw and being a less powerful GPU.Mine is the 4070 super
If your monitor is G Sync compatible it should also be Freesync compatible.Just an update
I think the retailer has now understood that the card they said they'd provide versus the one I got are two totally different models. They said that the EVO OC's stock code was essentially 'Asus 4070 Super Dual' so it seems like even they weren't fully clued up about the different models.
Anyway, they said I could wait a month for different models to come in stock and they'd be happy to switch it at that point, which is very good of them, but I was thinking of requesting the AMD equivalent instead but not sure how much of a gamble that'd be... Been a while since I last used an AMD card and I have a Gsync compatible monitor so probably not worth it
I think they're the same size though, so if you could measure the thickness of the cooler from the PCB that be handy.Mine is the 4070 super

I see you listed it, did you get change to measure the cooler?Zotac 4070ti Super trinity has been installed and this thing is quiet! I'm very pleased with it right off the bat
I might chuck the 4070 Super EVO OC on the MM and let someone have a bit of a bargain to save returning it, after all the card is perfectly fine and it's just a louder cooler![]()

Also, does it come with the 12VHPWR adaptor?
Perfect, thank you. I measured the case last night and it's too small by a multimeter or two.Very sorry, forgot to get the measurements, but from the PCB the thickness is about 4.5cm (backplate not included in that measurement)
