Most of the graphics that can be found on the market, both those of the Nvidia as the AMDwithout forgetting the Bow from Intel, have a fan cooling system, more than sufficient to reduce their temperature when operating at full capacity, however, they present a space problem since they occupy more than 2 slots on the card, limiting expansion options in the future.
A few months ago, we reported how a user replaced the dual-fan system of an Intel graphics card with one with lower performance in order to reduce its size. So that, when switching from a dual fan system to a single one, the graphics card does not heat up excessively, he added a heat sink
This is not something that every user can do, even less so if knowledge is limited or non-existent and one does not want to turn the chart into a pretty paperweight. If we want to reduce the size of our graph, the most sensible solution is to use a graph using a heat sink like the one just presented in GALAX assembler
RTX 4070 SUPER and 4070 TI SUPER graphics with blower heatsink
Last year, this same manufacturer launched a version of the RTX 4060 Ti with this same type of heat sink, a graphics card that reduced its size from two slots to a single slot, a perfect graphics card for small computers or where it is necessary to add more than one graphics card.
With the launch of the new NVIDIA RTX 4070 SUPER and RTX 4070 Ti SUPER earlier this year, it was only a matter of time before assembler GALAX adapted these card models to include a fan heat sink and reduce its size, although on this occasion it was not reduced to one location but to two.
It features a dual-slot, air-vent design with up to four connectors: 3 DisplayPort 1.4 ports and one HDMI 2.1 port. Unlike the model presented last year, where the heatsink was completely exposed to reduce its size, this new model of the RTX 4070 covers the heatsink, being a completely enclosed design.
Regarding the specifications, the RTX 4070 SUPER It has 7,168 CUDA cores at 2,475 MHz, with 12 GB of GDDR6X video memory at 21 Gbps, requires a 650 W power supply, has a power consumption of 220 W and uses a 12 VHPWR connector located on the rear of the graphics card .
For his part, the RTX 4070 The SUPER, has 8,448 CUDA cores, at 2,610 MHz. It has 16 GB of GDDR6X video memory at 21 Gbps and a 256-bit memory bus. DisplayPort and HDMI version are the same as normal version, it requires a Power source of 750W and has a power consumption of 285W.
Pricing and availability
Both models share the same dimensions, including support: 280 x 126 x 41 mm. Regarding price and availability, GALAX unfortunately does not offer this information. Most likely, at Computex to be held in the coming weeks we will know both the price of each of the models and their availability on the market.
