I tried to do some research and see if I can find some similar PCBs and I can safely say two things:

1. Most manufacturers re-use the exact same PCB for everything from 4070 upto 4070 Ti Super, so any 4070 cooler should fit on a 4070Ti Super card of the same manufacturer. This isn't useful though because Inno3d and MSI offer 4070Ti Supers with the smallest coolers out of the box.
2. This PCB is very likely also based on such a "standard" design. It has room for 8 memory pads which only makes sense for a 4070Ti Super chip. However, the spacing on the holes for the heatsink is different from any 4070 PCB I have seen (the holes are closer together). I suspect this spacing is the standard for 4060/Ti PCBs, allowing them to re-use a 4060 cooler with a 4070 GPU.

So unlikely this cooler can be used with other 4070s... but some madman with crazy SMB soldering skills could transplant a 4070Ti Super die, memory pads and maybe some other components on this board and I suspect it could work in theory.

In terms of RTX 4070s, supposedly Inno3D is almost identical to the FE, except for the placement of the power connector (read about it in one of the watercooling threads on reddit; some ppl mentioned that one only needs to replace one standoff, and aside of that its "identical to the reference"). Apparently this is also true for the Super, Ti, and Ti Super.

So... I just now realized a card where this may NOT be the case. I can't find any PCB shots to be 100% sure, but the Gigabyte Windforce 2X screw holes seem to line up very well with those of their other Windforce models, including the 4070Ti Super

So... it might be possible to make a 4070Ti Super that is only 201mm long.

There’s a guy who has done a 170mm 4070Ti Super using the Ventus3X board and our old faithful (but modified) StormX 3060Ti cooler

I hope so too but I expect to be disappointed.

I think the best outcome for US/EU customers is that it spurs someone like MSI or Gigabyte on to follow suit.
Well all we can do is assist a little in making it a little more accessible.


Approx 775USD delivered to US. Some also for sale on ebay might be a touch, cough, more expensive.

Bonus £20 (approx 25USD) discount off any white Densium 4 or 4+ ordered at the same time.

@Overtek - While I’m not in the financial position to take advantage of that, I need to applaud you for making hard to get stuff easier to get. Looking forward to seeing the builds people do with these.

Indeed I do to. I can tell you there will be a build on the FB mini ITX builds page as that's a card an existing customer and prolific SFF system builder has already ordered a couple of. By prolific we're talking 1-2 per month not for resale just as a hobby!! Could probably start his own museum of SFF with the number he's done.

The card would look really cool in a white and pink Densium case.
