Performance verification by placing the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3070 in a Mini-ITX (1/4) enclosure



[ad_1]

On October 28, 2020, the sale of video cards using the upper-middle GeForce RTX 3070 was lifted. As usual, Mr. KTU’s latest parts performance check has done a dense benchmark check, but in this article I’ll tell you how the GeForce RTX 3070 was installed in a relatively small case.

For the benchmark, run the standard application after confirming the operation. In addition, we have checked some effective performances of add-ons for photo / video editing that abuse the temperature, power consumption and the GPU.

The video card used is the “GeForce RTX 3070 EAGLE OC 8G” from GIGABYTE. I got it from the editorial department saying, “It will fit on your Twitter PC!”

I built my Twitter PC with input specs as a PC to enjoy my private life, but I feel like it’s a test environment for work, but I wonder if I should buy this video card. This is a boat because it was a product that was outside. That’s why I liked to verify it.

By the way, I paid attention to GIGABYTE’s “GeForce RTX 3070 EAGLE OC 8G” because it has a slim body that is especially thin and long among every company’s GeForce RTX 3070 equipped video cards. The PC case I use is the NZXT “H210” which supports mini-ITX / DTX. It is classified as a large case for mini-ITX / DTX, but the internal space is quite small. However, that doesn’t mean a short video card isn’t enough. Considering the balance with airflow, I decided that “GeForce RTX 3070 EAGLE OC 8G” was correct.

Can the GeForce RTX 3070 perform well in a compact PC case? I would like to check the performance, even if the airflow and power supply capacity are sufficient.

Even with the same GeForce RTX 3070
Different sizes depending on the product.

If you look at each company’s GeForce RTX 3070, there are many sizes. Some use the chassis of the high-end model GeForce RTX 3080, while others like ZOTAC have a card length of 230mm. So here are some of the relatively compact GeForce RTX 3070s.

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3070 EAGLE OC 8G 282 × 115 × 41 mm
ASUS DUAL-RTX3070-O8G 267 × 135 × 52mm
M: YES GeForce RTX 3070 VENTUS 2X 232 × 124 × 52 mm
M: YES GeForce RTX 3070 VENTUS 3X 305 × 121 × 52 mm
ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3070 dual-edge ZOTAC GAMING 231.9 × 141.3 × 41.5 mm

It’s a great route as a whole, probably to increase heatsink bulk, but it depends on whether you get it for length, thickness, width, or a combination of multiple items. Among them, the GIGABYTE “GeForce RTX 3070 EAGLE OC 8G” is 115mm wide and does not exceed the size of the PCI bracket, so it can be said to be a relatively standard size. Therefore, it is easy to mount in a slim case.

GIGABYTE “GeForce RTX 3070 EAGLE OC 8G” is an overclock model (specifications will be described later). The GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3070-equipped card is also available in a non-overclocked version, but the chassis is the same. The visual is a slightly smaller version of the high-end GeForce RTX 3080 EAGLE 10G model, and has in common that it is based on dark gray and light blue, and also features a three-dimensional shape. The size is 282 x 115 x 41mm, which is slim and long, but easier to see smaller due to the former shape.

Three fans are installed, and the center fan uses an alternate rotating fan that rotates in the opposite direction of the left and right fans to improve cooling efficiency. As for the fan control, the left and right fans and the center fan are independent, and it is a semi-fanless specification that stops the fan when the temperature drops below a certain level. There is also a large opening at the rear of the rear plate, and the expected airflow is close to that of the cast edition.

It is a mechanism that optimizes airflow and improves cooling efficiency by turning the center fan in the opposite direction from the left and right fans.

The feature is that there are no sharp protrusions on the solder connector found on the surface of conventional boards, this prevents you from cutting your fingertips during assembly or inadvertently damaging your components.

Equipped with 3 fans. Light parts are used around the EAGLE letters.

Equipped with a metal back plate that improves robustness and heat dissipation performance. You can see the aperture, but it is more modest than GeForce RTX 3080

The interface will be DisplayPort 1.4ax 2, HDMI 2.1 x 2

The back is closed and there is nothing.

The copper colored parts are heat pipes, they have the function of transporting heat directly from the GPU.

The auxiliary power supply is 6 + 8 pins and the recommended power supply capacity in the catalog specifications is 650 W.
