ASUS is planning a new GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card that will leverage cooling technologies developed by one of the world’s most popular CPU cooler and computer fan manufacturers, Noctua. This has seemingly been confirmed by a recent filing spotted on the Eurasian Economic Commission website by leaker KOMACHI_ENSAKA, which lists a model called the “RTX3070-8G-NOCTUA.” Further solidifying the partnership is an exclusive report from HWCooling.net that suggests the ASUS x Noctua GeForce RTX 3070 will be a premium ROG STRIX model that will feature some sort of Noctua cooling solution.

I'm glad they're providing more color-coordinated component choices for inside the case. Not everyone likes neutral earth tones. Not everyone likes RGB bling. Not everyone likes showing off what's inside their case. Viva la difference. To each their own. But you can't choose it if it isn't a choice, right? And you don't have to choose it if it is.
