Hi, just wondering if anyone owns or knows about how good is ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 Mini, ZT-P10700G-10M, 8GB GDDR5?

Ah, personally it's just me, but I avoid the Mini GPUs due to the potential for overheating, but that Zotac card I hear does somewhat alright.

 

You managed to find a 1070 for a reasonable price? haha

if you are willing to ramp up the fan they wont overheat usually

Yeah, but some people treat fan noise like death. haha. It definitely depends on the person for sure.

case ventilation has a bigger impact. I have an nzxt x61 as intake with a heavily oc'd cpu and now in summer my room can reach 30°C and even at 84°C temp target on my aorus gtx 1080 ti the fans can get a bit noisy.

Yeah, I did a build for a friend with a tempered glass side panel and it got really toasty inside (not enough airflow) / wow, losing that mesh side panel really does hit temps a bit.

 

I personally run my GPU fans pretty hard to keep them cool too (in a server) for vray rendering.

optimal performance with a aftermarket gpu cooler would be to have a cpu cooler, preferably watercooler, that is mounted on the top to exhaust the warm air and one or two fans on the front as intake. I really hope that Fractal Design is going to make a Define S with tempered glass side panel because I'd really look forward to get this case if i decide to upgrade cpu and mobo in the future. Not really 100% satisfied with my s340

Newedd is selling it for $450, not reasonable but desperate times. I am thinking of waiting abit more too.
