Asus 4070 Dual OC is loud

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 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

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 :D

I've not been able to find any reviews of the Evo.

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 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?

I think my 4070 ti oc form asus is fairly quiet? I'm sat right next to it. its alway subjective

The Ti is not affected by this "issue", as it has the better cooler.
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.

Mine is the 4070 super

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

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.
Could find no info on fan speeds etc. But as above, I became aware it was the same/similar cooler used on the 4060ti.
The packaging is TOO similar, as are store descriptions.

4070 Super Picture for comparison. I have tried to size as best I could.

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.
My SFF pc isn't my main pc so I'm looking to save a bit of money by looking a 2nd hand, b grade, refurbished, etc. models, which limits choice.
 
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

If your monitor is G Sync compatible it should also be Freesync compatible.

I think they're the same size though, so if you could measure the thickness of the cooler from the PCB that be handy.

I should be able to do this for you tomorrow once the card is out of the system.

I've gone for a zotac 4070ti Super trinity. The reviews say the card is cool and quiet so it should be alright. Zotac offer a 5 year warranty as well. I'll return the 4070 super evo back for a refund

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 :)

I see you listed it, did you get change to measure the cooler?
Also, does it come with the 12VHPWR adaptor?
 
Just an update in case someone stumbles up on this thread and they're considering the Zotac 4070ti Super Trinity

Thermals are really good, under full load I don't see the card exceed 70c and this is with fans only around 40%. The fans are almost entirely silent at that level and I've not yet seen them ramp up anymore than 40%

This card does have some pretty bad coil whine. I've owned a fair few cards over the past 10 years and they've all had coil whine, some worse than others. This card is probably near top of the list, it absolutely screams in certain games @ 165fps, but I'm not overly concerned because I do know how much of a lottery coil whine is and I'm certainly not going to be playing the return game with this card, I'll suck it up and deal with it and hope it lessens over time, although I know that's unlikely.

Curious to know if there's any PSU's that are coil while busters, I know people used to think the GPU+PSU combo could be to blame
 
My 4070Ti Super is a bit whiny too though it's a Gigabyte one. Undervolting definitely helped things so I'd suggest you give that a go, there are some decent guides on YouTube.
