Cooling 

2.5-Slot Design 
The Prime Radeon™ RX 9070 features a 2.5-slot design with a carefully arranged shroud, heatsink, and heat pipes, allowing the three Axial-tech fans to take advantage of chassis side panel ventilation for optimal thermal performance. 
 
Axial-Tech Enhancements 
The three proven Axial-tech fans have a smaller hub for longer blades and a barrier ring that increases downward air pressure, reducing temperatures, lowering noise, and enhancing performance. 
 
Dual Ball-Bearing Fans 
Different bearing types have their own pros and cons. Dual ball-bearing fans provide excellent durability and can last up to twice as long as sleeve bearings. 
 
MaxContact Design 
MaxContact is ASUS's proprietary manufacturing process that expands the heat spreader surface area by 5% compared to traditional models. This enhances cooling temperatures by up to 2°C when combined with a large heatsink array and powerful Axial-tech fans.

Phase-Change GPU Thermal Pad 
By efficiently melting between the GPU and thermal module, the premium phase-changing GPU thermal pad offers exceptional thermal conductivity and improved heat dissipation, ensuring optimal performance and longevity for graphics cards under heavy loads. 
 
0dB Technology 
All three fans stop spinning when the GPU temperature is below 55°C, allowing for quieter operation during less demanding tasks or light gaming. The fans restart when temperatures exceed 60°C, following a speed curve that balances performance and acoustics for both work and gaming. 
 
Ventilated Backplate 
Large ventilation cutouts on the backplate significantly improve heat dissipation, keeping the GPU cooler during intense workloads. This extra airflow helps maintain optimal temperatures while improving performance, longevity, and stability by preventing overheating and thermal throttling. 

Unmatched Reliability 
 
ASUS GPU Guard & Bracket 
ASUS GPU Guard reinforces all four corners with adhesive to reduce the risk of cracks, while the GPU bracket ensures even mounting pressure and added stability. 
 
Protective Backplate 
The PCB is reinforced with a backplate that increases structural rigidity, preventing bending and protecting components and circuit traces from damage. 
 
Stainless Steel Bracket 
The mounting bracket is made of stainless steel 304, chosen for its strength and high corrosion resistance. 
 
Engineering Excellence 
 
Dual BIOS 
Do you prioritize lower core temperatures or quieter operation? In Performance Mode, the fans run faster to keep the card cool at all times, while Quiet Mode maintains the same power target and top-end settings but offers a less aggressive fan curve for quieter operation at moderate temperatures.
 
Auto-Extreme Technology 
ASUS Auto-Extreme Technology is an automated manufacturing process that sets new industry standards by allowing all soldering to be completed in a single pass. This reduces thermal strain on components and avoids harsh cleaning chemicals, minimizing environmental impact, reducing power consumption, and making the product overall more reliable. 

Software 
 
GPU Tweak III 
The ASUS GPU Tweak III utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level. It lets you adjust critical parameters such as GPU core clocks, memory frequency, and voltage settings while monitoring everything in real-time via a customizable on-screen display. Advanced fan control and various other features help you get the most out of your graphics card.
