The basic rules of heat and cooling mean that you’ll have less overclocking headroom, but that comes with the territory of a smaller PC build anyways. Its 211 mm length is as short as it gets for a standard dual-fan cooler design, and you aren’t trading off performance for it, either. If you’re building in a MATX or MITX case and you need a shorter GPU, the RTX 2070 Mini is a great place to start. (There is an exception, which we’ll discuss in a sidenote below.) Our first specialized pick is Zotac’s RTX 2070 Mini, which is the shortest standard RTX 2070 we’ve been able to find. Like any cut of Wagyu, though, it should provide a truly savory experience. This card is beefy and expensive, like a fine Wagyu Tomahawk Ribeye. Add that to its 301 mm length and the fact that it’s the most expensive card on this list…

It may not take up a full 3 slots, but it’ll still obfuscate anything you want to install in the second slot down from your GPU. There are downsides to this card, though.įor one… it’s pretty much the biggest. If you’re also using an ASUS motherboard, it can more easily be synced to other RGB components in your system with Asus Aura Sync, which is always a nice extra to have. Plus, there’s some RGB lighting! While not as gaudy as, say, the AORUS Xtreme listed below, the ROG Strix’s RGB lighting does add that extra little bit of visual flair to your system. While ROG Strix GPUs tend to come with a significant increase in price over MSRP cards, this tends to manifest in far better cooling and overclocking headroom.
The ROG Strix RTX 2070 is our pick for best cooling RTX 2070, and a passing glance at its massive triple-fan cooling setup will probably tip you off as to why. The ASUS ROG Strix GPU line is known for its stellar air cooling, and it’s easy to see why.
