Well just wanted to share I bought a Zotac 3070 Twin Edge and have decided to return it. First, the card is unbelievably loud inside the Dan A4v1 case (and apparently loud in general). I was getting 68dB 12" from the case at 80% fan speed. Second, it runs hot, really hot compared to my previous 1080ti, it would hover around 79-80c under gaming conditions. Tried adjusting the fan curve and also undervolting a bit but the gains weren't that significant. In the end, it meant having to fight to make something I wasn't pleased with work so I'm returning it. Here are some pictures of how it fit in the Dan A4, hard to tell but the left fan sits up and to the left of where the mesh ends on the side panel (perhaps a factor in it's heat issues):

[QUOTE="Irbaboon, post: 237126, member: 15388"] Well just wanted to share I bought a Zotac 3070 Twin Edge and have decided to return it. First, the card is unbelievably loud inside the Dan A4v1 case (and apparently loud in general). I was getting 68dB 12" from the case at 80% fan speed. Second, it runs hot, really hot compared to my previous 1080ti, it would hover around 79-80c under gaming conditions. Tried adjusting the fan curve and also undervolting a bit but the gains weren't that significant. In the end, it meant having to fight to make something I wasn't pleased with work so I'm returning it.
