ASUS is working with Noctua to create a custom RTX 3070 GPU
ASUS has previously collaborated with Noctua to provide fans for their Ryujin series of All-in-One (AIO) liquid coolers, suggesting that Noctua’s custom RTX 3070 graphics card may be cooled by a custom water block design and a radiator with Noctua fans.Â
Alternatively, Noctua may be planning to utilise their heatsink design prowess to create the RTX 3070’s full GPU heatsink, effectively creating the NH-D15 of GPU heatsinks.Â
With the ECC listing prominently displaying Noctua’s branding, it is also worth considering the colour scheme of ASUS’ Noctua-series graphics card. Will it be brown/beige like Noctua’s main series liquid coolers, or will it use a grey or black colour scheme like Noctua’s Redux/Chromax series designs?
Noctua’s hardware roadmap mentions no plans to create a custom GPU or graphics card heatsink. That said, Noctua plans to release black versions of its NF-A12x25 fans in Q4 2021, fans that could be used with a liquid cooled graphics card. Will ASUS’ RTX3070-8G-NOCTUA be an RTX graphics card with a Ryujin style liquid cooler and Noctua NF-A12x25 fans? I guess we will have to wait and see.Â
