Posted December 9, 2016 I'm looking at the 1070s on Amazon right now, I think I want to get one to one up my aging 660 slightly. I've always gone EVGA in the past, so I know those are good cards, but at the same time you get charged the "EVGA tax" with them. I've been looking at this one, the Asus Turbo variant. I actually really like the way that it looks, I'm not a particular fan of the "gamer focused" aesthetic that some cards have. But it has the blower cooler. My question is, is it going to be a lot louder than a normal cooler? Is there a better 1070 I should go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 9, 2016 Unless you are building a small form factor build, get something with a non-blower fan. If you want to reply back to me or someone else USE THE QUOTE BUTTON!

Posted December 9, 2016 yes it will be louder, if you dont have a restricted airflow you should get a open cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 9, 2016 The Turbo is known to be quite a loud card, because it's an aftermarket blower design. I would suggest getting open air cooling.

Posted December 11, 2016 Author In that case, I think I'll go with this EVGA which looks to be a good deal right now. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-08G-P4-5173-KR-Rodgers/dp/B01KVZBNY0/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1481426519&sr=8-9&keywords=1070 Thanks guys!
