The DirectCU III cooler looks fantastic with a combination of angles and matte black finish leaving it looking like a cross between a modern fighter jet and an motorsport prototype.
Surrounding the fans are the first of two AURA lighting spots that you can control with the ASUS software. The other being the ROG logo on the backplate. The wholly neutral colouring of the cooler and the ability to pick an hue you choose certainly puts the ASUS Strix up there with the nicest looking cards around.
It's not just the looks of the cooler of course, but the performance matters too. The GTX 1070 Strix cooler has a seriously high fin density hidden behind that attractive two-slot-width shroud.
Power is supplied by a single 8pin PCIe input, which provides enough to support the card regardless of how high you want your clock speed to go. The efficiency of the nVidia Pascal GPU has benefits to your cable management as well as your power bill.

I want that card so badly, but it's nowhere available here in Germany :/Quote
Why do sites like TechPowerUp not list your reviews ?
I list links to a lot of reviews in the threads I run over at Overclockers UK and really like posting your ones as they are good reviews.
If I don't check that often on your home page I can miss important reviews, it would be nice if other sites like TechPowerUp posted links to them along with all the others they list.
I do like your reviews and videos these days as the standard is very high.

Im not sure how it would go down if I asked them to list mine, I think Id probably get the reply "you dont list ours" or something similar
Thank you for the kind words about the videos, I have been trying to up the quality a lot the last few months with the new office and 60FPS recording and editing now.
Still a long way to go yet though
