So i am thinking of getting this card since this is the only one close to msrp.
How does this card perform in terms of temperature and fan noise.
If any one has used this card kindly share some info.
 
How does this card perform in terms of temperature and fan noise.
Couldn't find review of the Zotac RTX 5070 Twin Edge OC, but did find a review of Zotac RTX 5060 Ti Twin Edge OC. And by the looks of it, the cooler is identical.

With this, the Zotac GPU, compared to e.g MSI Gaming GPU, uses less power but in turn (due to smaller cooler), does run few degrees hotter.
For comparison, the MSI RTX 5060 Ti Gaming OC reached a peak temperature of 62°C, with an average of 56°C. Meanwhile, the Zotac RTX 5060 Ti Twin Edge OC ran slightly warmer, peaking at 65°C and averaging 59°C.

And when given that MSI RTX 5070 Gaming temps peak at 62C;

Zotac RTX 5070 Twin Edge OC (with inferior cooler to MSI Gaming and Zotac Solid) may peak around 68C or so. (Zotac Solid, triple fan cooler peaks at 65C.)

Noise wise, on idle, fans should stop (0dB(A)). On load, Zotac Twin Edge OC may peak around 30 dB(A) or so.

Temperature will depend on your case/it's airflow and your ambient room temps. Regarding noise, that is a subjective topic, some people notice the ticking of the motor in a fan while others are oblivious to it, regardless of what a decibel meter says. As for performance, they will all perform about the same in tasks.
