ASUS GeForce RTX 4070 Dual

What are you trying to do mate, under volt or underpower, under volt simply use AMD adrenalin drivers under powering is possible with different power leads, but offers zero performance benefits so more hassle than it's worth.

 

[droopyRO]

use AMD adrenalin drivers

Not on an Nvidia card unless you are wizard that can mod drivers

Leave me alone, am in hospital with cellulitis, we get silly sometimes obviously one of those times, normally on the Radeon pages, sorry m8!

Just a question about the 4070 Dual OC.
I got a Mem Temperature of >80°C in Games or Tests. I cannot find any comparative values regarding these values. I can only find the GPU temperatures.

 

[droopyRO]

Same on mine they hover around 80-90ºC, with summer temperatures in my room, about 28-32ºC. The card is undervolted to 0.945V.
I mailed Asus and they say it's normal temperatures.
Bad design IMHO, look at the delta between the GPU and memory hot spot, it's over 20ºC. And as always they said it voids the warranty if i open the card and try other thermal pads myself. So i will leave it like this.

I realy dosent care about temperatures if i know that it is safe. And i asked in some other boards....mostly they say its normal and safe.

 

[droopyRO]

95ºC should be the limit for GDDR6x from what i can gather online. It should be safe but it is not optimal.
But in this review, the vRAM gets to about 70ºC https://static.tweaktown.com/conten...l-geforce-rtx-4070-oc-edition-review_full.jpg so i still suspect a bad mount on mine.

OK. Maybe a Open System. Since I have my card only since yesterday I will certainly not screw anything on it. No idea if this is really a problem.

Thanks for the warning, no good news for my favourite card. Seems similar to 4070 Ti situation with Asus cards.
Found this video:

Let's see if MSI Trio and Gigabyte models are better in this...

Was checking to see if W1zzard's review spoke on coil whine, couldn't find any such comments. W1zzard, care to explain? Why is such a thing not contained in the noise segment of the reviews, especially since it's so prevalent in the 4000 series cards?

 

[droopyRO]

care to explain?

Maybe because it depends on the card itself not on the model or brand name ? I can't hear any whine on my 4070 Dual btw.

Yeah I realized after posting that it doesn't make much sense to comment on something in a review that is not consistently prevalent. I ended up doing a search on Amazon on their ASUS RTX 4070 Dual OC product page, using coil whine as a filter, and only one person said it was bad enough to return the thing. The others said you had to get close with the side panel off to even hear it.

Because it depends on the PSU+mobo+card combo, nothing I can repro reliably enough to say "this has coil whine" and nobody will buy it, even though the coil exists only on my system (or the opposite)

Yeah, sorry, I wasn't thinking when I asked that. Obviously, you're right, there's no way to make a recommendation based on one PC config. Aside from that I'm sure there are variances from one card to another as well, even if it's the same brand and model.

What is the minimum fans speed %? I'm trying to make custom curve in afterburner, but everything below 45% behaves unstable. 45% keeps running fine at 685 rpm. Is there a chance to set it on 30%?

My card has 30% as min, that is about 900rpm if I remember correctly.

it is strange, even rpm are different.

Yeah, maybe different revisions.
