Asus GeForce RTX 3070 Noctua Edition OC (LHR) Graphics Card, 8GB GDDR6, PCIe 4.0, 2xHDMI, 3xDisplayport, 256-bit, Brown, LHR | 90YV0FQQ-M0NA00

The Noctua Edition of the ASUS GeForce RTX 3070 is the first graphics card to feature Noctua fans and a heatsink that has been co-engineered by Noctua. By switching from the stock three 92mm fans to two of Noctua’s award-winning NF-A12x25 120mm units and by tailoring the heatsink to make the most out of the fans superior aerodynamic performance, thermals and acoustics of ASUS original TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3070 could be improved significantly for the Noctua Edition, making it the quietest card in its class.

Cool and Quiet

From shroud to heatsink, every aspect of the cooler is optimised to set new standards for thermals and acoustics.

Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM Fans

The two Noctua NF-A12x25 120mm fans integrate a low-resonance Sterrox liquid-crystal polymer (LCP) fan impeller, metal-reinforced motor hub, stabilised bearings, and custom low-noise PWM controller to deliver performance you can rely on day in, day out.

Tailor-made Heatsink

ASUS and Noctua engineers ran extensive simulations to optimise heatpipe placement and fin density to take full advantage of the air propelled by both Noctua NF-A12x25 fans.

Zero dB Technology

The GeForce RTX 3070 Noctua Edition features a semi-passive fan control setup (ASUS 0dB technology) that can switch the fans off completely whenever the GPU temperature goes below 50°C. This means that in typical configurations with low to moderate ambient temperatures and well-ventilated cases, the card can run entirely fanless at lower GPU loads such as during office productivity tasks, web browsing, or even light gaming. Even at high GPU loads such as during gaming or benchmarking, the fan speeds will stay extremely low as long as the ambient temperature inside the case isn’t excessive.

Dual Bios

The Noctua edition card features a dual BIOS that enables customers to switch between a performance profile that provides the lowest GPU temperatures and a quiet profile that allows slightly higher temperatures in order to achieve the best possible acoustics. Catering to the demands of Noctua’s customers, the quiet profile is set as the default.

GPU Tweak II

For enthusiast users who want to take things one step further, the included ASUS GPU Tweak II software as well as the upcoming, beta-version GPU Tweak III provide extra possibilities such as setting custom fan curves or undervolting. Reducing the thermal output of the card, undervolting can make it possible to let the card run even quieter. For example, reducing the GPU voltage by around 100mV can drop the GPU temperatures by several degrees and thereby widen the thermal margin to slow the fans down even further.
