ASUS EKWB Watercooled GeForce RTX 3070 8G Gaming OC Graphics Card- RTX3070-8G-EKLet it FlowThe ASUS EKWB GeForce RTX™ 3070 cards are the result of collaborative engineering efforts between ASUS and EK®. A compact PCB reinforced with a metal backplate and steel mounting bracket creates a durable foundation for EK®’s full coverage block. The entire package takes up just a single slot, bringing the tangible benefits of water cooling to small form factor builds, heavyweight workstations, and showcase rigs.Precision automated manufacturingAuto-Extreme Technology is an automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry by allowing all soldering to be completed in a single pass. This reduces thermal strain on components and avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, resulting in less environmental impact, lower manufacturing power consumption, and a more reliable product overall. That’s so metal!The PCB is reinforced by an aluminum backplate that adds structural rigidity, helping to prevent flex and protect components and trace pathways from damage. Steel yourselfThe mounting bracket of the ASUS EKWB has been beefed up with 304 Stainless Steel that’s harder and more resistant to corrosion. Go with the flowA central inlet split-flow cooling engine designed by EK® channels coolant over the GPU and other key components without restricting flow. The design efficiently dispatches large thermal loads and saves prized slot space. A feat of engineeringA nickel-plated copper cold plate prevents oxidation and ensures efficient heat transfer. On top, the cast acrylic cover makes a spectacle of coolant as it courses over the GPU and other components. High-quality EPDM O-rings and brass standoffs are arranged throughout to ensure proper sealing and an easy installation. Outshine the competitionThe ASUS EKWB graphics card features an addressable RGB strip that spans the length of the block. Armoury Crate software allows complete control and customization of the lighting colors and effects. Build with other Aura Sync components to enable uniform lighting across your entire setup. So much roomA compact single-slot design increases compatibility with other PCIe peripherals and even allows multiple ASUS EKWB cards to be stacked in a system. ASUS EKWB 3070 FeaturesNVIDIA Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors: The building blocks for the world’s fastest, most efficient GPU, the all-new Ampere SM brings 2X the FP32 throughput and improved power efficiency. 2nd Generation RT Cores: Experience 2X the throughput of 1st gen RT Cores, plus concurrent RT and shading for a whole new level of ray tracing performance. 3rd Generation Tensor Cores: Get up to 2X the throughput with structural sparsity and advanced AI algorithms such as DLSS.
