Compatible Waterblock for the ASUS rtx3070 TURBO card

[Martin Moesby]

Hi,

 

I have recently purchased the above mentioned GFX card.. why you might ask? Well, it was the only one available. Downside is that it is a blowerstyle cooler - it makes one hell of a racket, when the tiny 80mm fan spins up to 95% when running games in vsync on 144 Hz monitor

 

So, does anyone know, or know anyone who knows if there is a waterblock for this puppy?

Same boat as you. I don't think there are any water blocks available for this specific model yet, however, the 2070 Turbo got some from various brands, so I expect it to be a matter of time.

 

In the meantime I managed to "fix" the ridiculous noise by undervolting the card and setting up a custom fan curve. The factory curve attempts to keep the card at ~60ºC all the time... which, at the default voltage, makes the fan run at full speed. 

 

Right now I'm running it at 1830mhz with 868mV - this voltage allowed me to set up a wider fan curve which only goes above 50% if the card reaches 70ºC (which it rarely does, even at full load). It's very much ok for me in terms of noise (not silent, but also not unbearable).

 

I dont really care about high clock speeds since this card is fast enough for me to run anything I'm playing atm with 1800-ish mhz, you might lose some performance if you do need extra clock boost speeds for what you are playing.

Thank you for your reply.

I am trying to setup the voltage/frequency curve, but it doesn't seem to be working

I cannot get it to use the same curve, that you are showing..

 

I'll keep trying though.

 

Thx again

I made a video with a step-by-step guide on how I undervolted mine. I'm still looking for alternative coolers for this bad boy so, if you find one, hit me up! 

Here you go. 

Ps: I forgot to mention in the video but you can also save the undervolted settings as a "Profile" (click the padlock on the top right side of the afterburner window, then click the floppy disk on the bottom middle part and then click "1" below the padlock).

That video was perfekt - thx a lot

Hi Martin,

I have the same card and I am in the process of mounting a Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 120. I have made mounting brackets on my 3D printer and it looks fine However, I need to mount a copper plate between gpu/ram and aio. The copper plate is on its way, and when I have it I will probably test how it works

 

If it works fine I can send the files so you can also 3D print them. Otherwise I can print them and send them to you. I live in DK

 

I can upload some pictures later today if it has intreasse?
