Asus ROG Strix 1070 vs Asus ROG Strix 1070 OC

[Banu1337]

Hello,

So I'm building a new pc for first time . I know alot of basics about OC, like it increases performance but increases temperature, but I was curious for if there were any major cooling or noise problem since i want it as quiet as possible.

What I think is going to be my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/y3HYzM please tell me if there's anything wrong with that

Thank you

EDIT: What about the Asus Dual 1070?

They're going to be about the same, the OC version might be a little better binned but it won't make a huge difference. They'll both be quiet if that's what your're worried about and both will boost past the advertised boost clock by themselves if you have decent airflow in your case, which you will.

That build looks really really good, but my only concern is the power supply. The corsair VS units are pretty low quality for the price and I wouldn't trust $1200 worth of hardware to one. I put in a different PSU but there are a lot of different ones that are of similar quality and will fit your build nicely. The G3 is great because it's small and has eco mode where the fan will completely shut off when not much power is being used.

Some pretty bad components in that list. List below is more optimized. The board comes with loads of connectivity options, overclcoking potential and other features like bluetooth and wifi. Better RAM/COOLER/PSU/GPU. Actiavte windows later on from Microsoft.... https://www.howtogeek.com/244678/you-dont-need-a-product-key-to-install-and-use-windows-10/

Thank you both. How much is the 3200 ram better than 2400? It's actually cheaper so I'll choose the 3200 but I just want to know I want the graphic card to last for some time 2-4 years, so can the OC version last that long?

3200 is faster and will give you more performance. Also helps in overclcoking. As for the graphics card, if the 1070 lasts 4yrs, 1080 will last 5 to 6 yrs easily.
