GPU Feedback on Zotac GTX1070 Mini

[Arboreal]

I've been looking at used 1070 Minis on the Bay and they are running at about £200 give or take.
Today they have been listed new in the UK at £230 new.
Having not found any reviews, is this a good choice for an NCase M1 with 1x 120 side inlet fan and a U9S + 92mm rear fan? No fans at the bottom...
I'd usually go for a blower cooler, (current GTX 970 is, as was the GTX 660 that preceded it), but the Zotac Mini looks good.
What's the verdict on this card and for an M1??

While not the quietest card, it's heaps better than any blower. Might want to use the rear 92mm as intake and side fan as exhaust, though.

That is good to hear.
Interesting that you are suggesting that I reverse the airflow direction in the cooling system.
I think I have heard this mentioned on here somewhere before. It does sound counter intuitive at first.
