I'm a SFF PC builder and have been wanting to upgrade my GPU for a while. The GTX 1070 sounds like the best upgrade for me so i bought a Asus Turbo GTX 1070.
Please read this if you don't agree with my buying option. (Why i choose a blower over a Open-Air design.) I bought only this version because the founders edition (Though looks really sexy) is over my budget by $40 and sadly I can't compromise (I'm just a 14 year old in high school and had to sell computer parts online just to get $400.). Also i cant buy another Open-Air GPU cooler again. My 960 had a major problem and overheated not only itself, but cooked my motherboard, Power supply, and burn't my hand. Never had heard that happen to anyone before and lucky my CPU and memory survived. If i had a blower design all the heat would have only killed my GPU and not my other components. I figured out when it happened the fans were at 100% on auto mode and expelled all the heat in my SG13. So at the moment i put in a damn 290x reference to try and see if it was just because of my GPU fan type. And guess what, it was. I was running a 290x in a SG13 with no heat issues. That 290x is my brother's so i gave it back. Now i'm on Intel HD graphics. Neat story right?
So i'm buying a Asus Turbo and have some questions. Here they are:
1. Is the Turbo's fan able to cool the GTX 1070 better then there reference coolers?
2. Is the Turbo overclocked?
3. Is it more noisy or less noisy then a reference cooler?
4. Is the LED on the top RGB?
Thanks for reading!
