NVIDIA’s new generation of RTX 30 series graphics cards have actually improved a lot in terms of gaming performance, but the card body is too thick and too large, which discourages many gamers who like small chassis. Previously, there was news that ASUS will become famous. Water cooling manufacturer EKWB collaborated on the launch of the RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 graphics cards. The latest official ASUS officially confirmed that the “ASUS EKWB GeForce RTX graphics card will be launched. 3070 8GB GDDR6 “. Because the single slot design takes up less space, if you are a gamer who loves small chassis, you might want to consider it.

ASUS ‘new “GeForce RTX 30 Series EKWB Version” combines the excellent experience and features of ASUS in graphics cards and EKWB in water cooling. Uses ASUS Auto-Extreme technology to ensure accuracy and rigorous verification during the manufacturing process. Product reliability and low hydraulic limit shunt cooling system maximize heat dissipation of key components and reflect the best performance of the EK design.

According to the image on the ASUS official website, the “ASUS EKWB GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6” graphics card uses the NVIDIA RTX 3070 Founders Edition public PCB and uses a 12-pin power connection. We recommend using a 750W power supply. In terms of display output, It provides 1 x HDMI2.1, 3 x DisplatPort 1.4a connectors.

Thanks to EK’s rich experience in water cooling, the EKWB version of the ASUS GeForce RTX 30 series can provide powerful heat dissipation even with a single slot design. Single slot design can be compatible with various chassis. It is quite suitable for installation in a small chassis.
