Not really a fair test, you're really not pushing it as a 4070. I would like a real comparison between a real 4070 and this, like 4k, max graphics. This dont really say anything imo.
I bought one of these cars it was delivered a few days ago after waiting over a month for it to be shipped from China and it was dead on arrival. I just today received a return label from overtech and dropped off the package at FedEx. I tried the card in three separate known working computers and no matter what I did the card would not display an image. I've been building computers for 25 years and I tried everything I could think of to get the card to work to avoid having to send it back.
The black cubes are inductors/chokes and they don't need any cooling, only part of the VRM that do need cooling and is actually cooled are the power MOSFETs because those can get pretty hot, but the chokes and capacitors doesn't. I know where you probably heard it from but under that video there were some people telling him this and also i did comment too. Even a Strix 4090 has padding only for the MOSFETs and VRAMs but under the backplate too.
Yep, After comparing a few cards like I did in this video, it was clear that there was no need for those pads once I looked at other ones, plus the temperatures on this card are already quite good assuming good ventilation, but I'm used to 4070 notebook temperatures so 65 looks amazingly cool to me compared to the 88 C you get sometimes on laptop GPUs.
That old Aorus e-GPU doc is probably PCIE-3.0 x4... By the time you run that card externally it's probably going to see 20+% loss and it might as well be a 4060/3060ti. A FULL ITX PC in the Velka 3/ K39 would probably be hardly bigger and deliver full performance.
Pci-e 3.0 vs 4.0 loss is negligible; the thunderbolt interface is the real bottleneck, and yes you're getting 20% losses using it on thunderbolt eGPU, just wanted to show how the form factor can get you more versatile performance. I'll probably eventually drop this 4070 in a small build as well like my 3D printed case or something similar like you mentioned, a velka 3 would be a great pairing for this card.
Thanks for the clarification, that card is indeed the previous "shortest card" not as long as the zotac 4070, however it is taller 48mm vs 40mm, which is why I had to pass on it for use in the Aorus gaming box when I did that zotac 4070 extension video. Good to keep people in the know on other options though. Thank you very much for the comment!
2:55 imagine if they skipped the cringe packaging and gave it a proper cooler and proper design instead now u have a packaging u dont need, a cooler that doesnt has proper contact with everything and a black, dull brick in ur PC. well done 6:10 that thing on the other hand, is super dope

not a performance review, just a basic look and unboxing.
i mean, a 4070 is a 1440p card, so 4k max settings would be pretty brutal. personally im just curious if that cooler can handle a 4070.
@@thedanbot85it can. But its loud. Recommend to undervolt
I have the pink version! The black looks so much better omg
MAN those knife skills! LOL

most importantly; it doesn't have that stupid 12vhpwr or the successor. i've only seen one other 4070 base model that doesn't use it. the pny dual.
Gigabyte wind force dual fan 4070 is on 1x8pin too
almost every 4070 is an 8 pin the one you are thinking about is a 4070 super
where did you buy it from?
overtek
People are so critical in the comments omg it's literally to fit in some of the smallest of cases it's not gonna look that great.

would like this but its well over $1000 ExVat here in Canada, nearly $1300 IncVat
Am I the only one who thinks you sound like Mr. Rogers? 😮
the gigabyte twinforce oc is smaller than the zotac if i rrcall correctly at around 201mm

I sold my gigabyte 4060 lp and bought this card.

now u have a packaging u dont need, a cooler that doesnt has proper contact with everything and a black, dull brick in ur PC.
well done
6:10 that thing on the other hand, is super dope
The fan looks 1:1 to Sapphire RX580 / 590 fans
My Powercolor RX 5700 XT Red Dragon has the same fans too. I had to change them 2 times already and they are starting to rattle again.
y are u usnig that small swiss army knife lol
Had it since I was 8 years old... its so flippin dull... need to sharpen it.
