I'm trying to pick a 5070 Ti graphics card and there's just so much to choose from! I've got a few brands in mind like MSI, Zotac, Asus, PNY, and Gigabyte, but I'm not sure which specific models have the best cooling and operate at lower noise levels. I'm aware of options like Trio, TUF, and others, but I'm mainly looking for something that dissipates heat well, even if it makes a bit of noise. I'm not planning to overclock, so any recommendations would be really helpful! Thanks, everyone!

Honestly, most of them should be fine unless you're planning to do some extreme overclocking. Just make sure to stick with models that are close to MSRP. I suggest checking out TechPowerUp's comparisons for a more informed decision, but generally, they’re all around the same level of noise because the 5070 Ti doesn't pull too much power.
I noticed prices are close to MSRP now, so just grab the cheapest one you can find! Appreciate the TechPowerUp link!
For cooling performance, the MSI Vanguard and PNY Triple Fan Plus are top picks, along with Asus TUF and Gigabyte Gaming OC. The MSI Gaming Trio Plus is also solid, but be aware that some fans can be a bit loud.
How about the MSI Ventus? Is it really that noisy? It's at MSRP now, but I've heard mixed reviews.
I recently got an Asus TUF 5070 Ti OC Edition, and let me tell you, the cooling is fantastic! It never hits thermal throttle, even under full load. My old 3070 Ti would throttle easily, but this one maxes out at 68C. Definitely worth investing in a quality model!
I disagree; models like the Windforce or Prime can be louder than the Vanguard or Gaming Trio unless you limit the power draw considerably.
