EVGA GTX 1070 Superclocked Review

Up Close

In a world where most coolers look similar to each other, thanks to having a consistent criteria for success meaning that you end up with closely linked design solutions, the EVGA is superficially similar with a couple of fans on a big bundle of heatpipes and fins, but externally it’s not remotely like any other cooler we’ve seen in this generation.

      

There is no doubting the manufacturer of your graphics card if you have an EVGA Superclocked. With a lit side panel, lit logo on the backplate and plentiful lighting on the front it will be obvious to even passing folks which brand you’ve chosen.

      

Despite the front of the card looking busy and thus thick, from the side it’s clear that the Superclocked is just a two slot card. Barely even that. We really love the look of the black and white combination matched up to the rugged aesthetic given by the screws. It looks as rigid as it feels.

      

Wherever you look there is an EVGA logo. Even end on there is on. About the only surprise is that they haven’t stamped the vent holes at the rear into an EVGA logo. It seems like a missed opportunity given the four other EVGA markings.
