Noctua-Asus 3070 impresses

[Brian Boru]

Jayz likes this new collaboration between Asus and Noctua, with performance to rival water-cooled—Noctua are best known for their air coolers.

Drawback? It's a 4-slot card! Will we need a second case, motherboard and PSU just for it?

PCCG had an article a few weeks ago about the rumors & leaks that this was coming:

The Asus X Noctua RTX 3070 is exactly what I wanted it to be: so brown

Noctua's distinct colourway has made the leap to an Asus graphics card.

How many slots does that thing take up? Asking cuz my 2.5 slot AORUS 3070 already makes cable management a tad difficult on my MicroATX setup

Sounds like the card should come with a 30% off coupon for most angle grinders and complimentary right angle adapters for most motherboard ports (I/O, TPM, SATA). I can see some folks needing to cut a big ol' hole in their case to fit this behemoth.
