Their large heatsinks, quad fan solution, vapor chamber, and phase-change GPU thermal pad provide impeccable cooling with low noise levels, giving you more headroom for your own manual overclocks. In fact, with their 0dB Ambient Cooling mode, the fans will turn off entirely under light loads so you can relax in peace.

Glad to see Asus return to slightly more RGB. (I've been an RGB fanboy since the first appearance of acrylic side panel cases). I don't like the "RGB vomit" as expressed by purists. I don't want a pinball machine - strictly static colors. Asus had abandoned RGB for the last series, except for the Strix series. The 3070/3080 GPUs were beautiful. Unfortunately, I could never get a hold of one, you know, when GPUs were harder to find than a gal without a tattoo. I did finally get ahold of a 3080/10GB white Strix. I see no white versions of the 50xx series. I kept looking for a 4070 or ti white Strix - just the 4080. Asus missed the boat on that one. Not everyone can afford $1500 for a white RGB Strix GPU. I would have paid MSRP for a white 4070 Strix. Surprising, given the number of white Strix MBs available. Just my two cents as a retired business major. I'm sure I'll be picking up the 5070 Strix when it is released, (and hoping for a white version somewhere down the road).
