At the heart of the HIFIMAN HE400se are the planar drivers that deliver pure audio bliss. As opposed to standard dynamic headphone diaphragms that are never driven to their full capacity, planar headphones feature conductive layers that cover nearly the entire diaphragm. This results in significantly lower distortion than conventional dynamic headphones. Thanks to HE400se’s high sensitivity which makes it a perfect match for low-voltage sources, you can now enjoy rich and pure music without the need for an amplifier. Get wide soundstage and detailed imaging from almost any audio source.

Design

The new HIFIMAN Electronics’ HE400se is an over-ear open-back headphone built for a studio-quality audio performance. The new design features a lightweight and adjustable headband along with hybrid earpads to help with added comfort during long hours. The varying thickness in the headband conforms to the human skull, which is almost like being custom-tailored for each listener’s head. And the hybrid earpads help keep the ears cool during long listening hours, even in warm weather conditions. The drivers are also protected by a newly designed casing for enhanced durability and element protection. Lastly, the headphones feature durable connections that use dual-sided high-performance cables with 3.5mm connectors. A 6.35mm adapter is also packaged along for maximum compatibility with a wide range of devices.

ASUS Announces
GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Series Graphics Cards

ASUS Announces
GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Series Graphics Cards

ROG Strix LC, Strix and TUF Gaming models bring water- and air-cooled prowess
to latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 30 Series GPUs

KEY POINTS

  • ROG Strix LC GeForce RTX3080 Ti: A fusion of speed and style with an all-in-one liquid-cooling solution and a pair of high-CFM fans
  • ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti: Innovative designs take air cooling to new heights, with three counter-rotating fans and massive heatsinks
  • TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti: A robust choice inside and out, with an ultra-stealthy new aesthetic for under-the-radar builds

Mumbai, India, June 01, 2021 — ASUS today announced an all-new graphics card series based on the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GPUs. Powered by the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti delivers an incredible leap in performance and fidelity with acclaimed features such as ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS performance-boosting AI, NVIDIA Reflex latency-reduction, NVIDIA Broadcast streaming features and additional memory that allows it to speed through the most popular creator applications as well. And in the hotly contested midrange of the market, GeForce RTX 3070 Ti brings more CUDA, RT and Tensor cores to bear for mainstream systems.

ASUS has taken advantage of these new, more-powerful GPUs to create custom designs that serve up high clock speeds, low temperatures and whisper-quiet noise levels. ROG Strix LC GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is our first RTX 30 Series card to use a hybrid liquid-cooled design for incredible performance potential, while ROG Strix and TUF Gaming versions of both GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti deliver distinctly different takes on air cooling.

ROG Strix LC GeForce RTX 3080 Ti: Chills out under water

To unleash the potential of the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPU, we turned to a solution that PC builders the world over already know and love: we put it under water. This card’s fusion of speed and style starts with an angular shroud and addressable RGB LED accents that shine through bold striations on its surface. This time around, we designed a stealthier metallic accent for the cooling shroud. It largely omits our trademark cybertext accents for a clean look that’s ready to integrate with the colorful lighting, monochrome tones and diverse textures of other ROG hardware. We also enshrouded the fan and lighting cables in the anti-abrasive webbing on each coolant hose for an especially refined presentation.

Underneath the shroud, a custom full-coverage water block transfers heat from the GPU and GDDR6X memory directly into a liquid-cooling loop rather than the inside of the case. Coolant passes through extra-long 600 mm hoses to a 240 mm radiator. The generous length of these hoses, combined with the broad case compatibility of the 240 mm radiator, means that enthusiasts can confidently install ROG Strix LC GeForce RTX 3080 Ti in even the most cavernous enclosures. This versatility lets system builders experiment with the best airflow path for their graphics card’s needs, too. The radiator can be mounted at the top of the case to let exhaust heat bypass the case’s interior entirely, or to the front with the fans configured as intakes to chill the card with the coolest possible airflow.

The liquid-cooling loop is the star of the show for ROG Strix LC GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, but this card would be nothing without its fans. A pair of custom-designed 120 mm units, optimized for both high cubic feet per minute (CFM) and high static pressure, keep plenty of air moving through the dense fins of the remote radiator. A low-noise blower fan under the card’s shroud cools a low-profile heatsink to ensure those crucial components stay cool under stock or overclocked loads. ROG Strix LC GeForce RTX 3080 Ti also the card’s fan-control intelligence to be extended to two case fans using a pair of our trademark FanConnect II headers. Rather than using a rising CPU or motherboard temperature as an imperfect proxy for increases in GPU temps, the FanConnect II headers can monitor the temperature of the graphics processor itself to increase airflow right when it’s needed for optimal temperatures over long gaming sessions.

ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti: Take air cooling to new heights

ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 Ti boast all of our latest refinements and innovations in air cooling. A massive 2.9-slot heatsink comes wrapped in an aggressively angular shroud with a full-length addressable RGB LED array on the left edge for a look that’s undeniably fresh yet unmistakably ROG. The new look extends to the full-length metallic backplate, where contrasting textures and subtle monochrome shades surround an eminently functional cooling cut-out that allows heated exhaust airflow to rise into the case’s natural airflow path.

Three fans built using our latest axial-tech design spin in a counter-rotating pattern to deliver a smooth, directed stream of air through the high-surface-area fin stack. Higher blade counts on each fan increase both static pressure and the CFM of airflow available, all without undesirable increases in noise levels. Notched barrier rings on the outer two fans and a solid barrier ring on the central fan further manage turbulence and ensure that cooling air consistently reaches the hottest parts of the heatsink for the lowest temperatures and highest performance. At idle, the fans drop into a 0 dB mode that helps to minimize the system’s noise levels, while FanConnect II headers allow case fans deliver a blast of cool air right when it’s needed.

Ampere graphics cards deliver a large performance-per-watt improvement compared to their predecessors. To fully exploit these improvements, they can draw more power overall. The massive ROG Strix heatsink and a carefully designed PCB allow us to support that improved performance with large amounts of raw electrical power. Up to three eight-pin PCI Express® (PCIe®) power connectors draw current directly from the PSU for less stress on the motherboard, and a high-resolution transient-sensing circuit monitors that flow of power for dips that can negatively impact system stability. This sensitive circuit can save hours of troubleshooting frustration in the event that the power supply can’t keep up.

TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti: Keep it stealthy

For DIY PCs built to fly under the radar, TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti are the perfect fit. Both cards embrace an ultra-stealthy new aesthetic. A blacked-out, brushed-aluminum cooling shroud wraps around a 2.7-slot heatsink cooled by a trio of fans built with our proven axial-tech design. Like their Strix brethren, these TUF Gaming cards can stop their fans entirely at idle for silent running. A full-length aluminum backplate boasts a cooling cutout at the front of the card to help heat flow into the case’s natural airflow path. And a single Aura RGB LED accent at the front of the card integrates with Aura Sync lighting schemes without drawing undue attention.

TUF Gaming graphics cards aren’t just tough on the outside. Auto-Extreme assembly technology, used across our lineup, precisely places and solders components without human intervention to boost reliability and build quality. Extra-sturdy capacitors in the power-delivery subsystem are selected for long life spans under grueling conditions, and a 144-hour testing regime at the factory ensures that each card is ready to perform from the moment it is installed it in a system.

Availability & Pricing ASUS ROG Strix LC GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards will be available worldwide from June 03, 2021. ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics cards will be available worldwide from June 10, 2021.

Like all RTX 30 series GPUs, the RTX 3060 supports the trifecta of GeForce gaming innovations ― NVIDIA DLSS, NVIDIA Reflex and NVIDIA Broadcast ― which accelerate performance and enhance image quality. Together with real-time ray tracing, these technologies are the foundation of the GeForce gaming platform, which brings unparalleled performance and features to games and gamers everywhere.

ROG Strix: Take flight

From top to bottom, ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB graphics cards deliver powerful thermal designs and are optimized for the dynamic NVIDIA Ampere architecture.

A shroud with metal accents encompasses a trio of fans featuring the cutting-edge ASUS Axial-tech fan design: a more compact fan hub allows for longer fan blades, and full-height barrier rings provide boosted static pressure to pump air through the heatsink fins and onto the GPU heat spreader. A reversal of the center fan’s rotational direction lessens turbulence to enhance airflow efficiency. The fans and top of the graphics card are also illuminated by an addressable RGB element that can be customized with Armoury Crate software.

A large heatsink that fills most of the card’s 2.7-slot footprint was designed to leverage the increased airflow. To get heat up off the die and into the heatsink array, MaxContact technology has been utilized to polish the surface of the heat spreader and improve smoothness at the microscopic level. The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die for enhanced thermal transfer.

In addition to an enhanced cooling array, Super Alloy Power II components, including top-shelf capacitors, chokes and power stages, effortlessly deliver hundreds of watts at a millisecond’s notice. The card’s components are soldered to the PCB using ASUS-exclusive Auto-Extreme Technology to ensure precise joints and that each card meets rigorous ROG specifications for reliability.

Also included are FanConnect II headers that allow PWM fans to be tuned based on CPU and GPU temperatures, providing extra intake or exhaust for demanding 3D tasks and compute workloads. Builders looking for a quick and simple way to adjust their card’s default fan speeds can flick an onboard Dual BIOS switch to choose between “performance” and “quiet” profiles, without additional software. Another ease-of-use feature is an onboard voltage-sensing circuit that monitors PSU rail voltage. The circuit is fast enough to catch any transients that result in the rail voltage dropping too low. If that happens, a red LED will light up to indicate a power supply issue, making it easier to debug the source of crashes during gameplay.

Flipping the card around reveals more design improvements. For enhanced heat dissipation, a wide backplate vent and shortened PCB allow hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled back into the cooler. Stainless steel is used for the I/O bracket to protect ports and provide a more secure mount. To top it off, an ROG logo with addressable RGB backlighting adds flair.

The ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB graphics card provides a dynamic thermal design. Paired with the outstanding performance of the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, ROG Strix provides gamers with access to fresh experiences, from incredible frame rates in competitive titles, to smooth high-resolution gameplay in immersive AAA games.

 TUF Gaming: Built TUF

TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB graphics cards provide exceptionally robust power and cooling. An all-metal shroud houses three powerful Axial-tech fans that utilize durable dual ball fan bearings. Fan rotation has been optimized for reduced turbulence, and a stop mode brings all three fans to a halt at low temperatures. In line with the TUF Gaming legacy, components are selected based on their durability and performance. In addition to top-shelf chokes and MOSFETs, capacitors with military-grade certification make TUF Gaming stand tall amongst the competition. A manufacturing process employing Auto-Extreme Technology ensures components are placed and attached with high precision, and each card is subjected to a grueling 144-hour validation trial to ensure flawless performance when it counts.

Most of the rear is swathed in a protective metal backplate that prominently features a wide vent to prevent heat buildup. Beneath the GPU, a bracket provides consistent mounting pressure between the die and heat spreader, and the card’s I/O bracket is forged from stainless steel to protect ports and provide a more secure mount. A conveniently placed Dual BIOS switch allows customization of the card’s default performance profile without software.

ASUS Dual: 2X Fans, 2X Fun

ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB delivers the ultimate combination of dynamic thermal performance and broad compatibility, making it the perfect choice for small-form-factor builds.

A sleek shroud surrounds two Axial-tech fans that are designed to maximize airflow through the large heatsink, and 0 dB technology automatically brings the fans to a halt at lower temperatures. The ASUS Dual graphics card is 20 cm long and fits into a 2-slot design, allowing its excellent thermal performance to be leveraged for more compact builds.

Auto-Extreme Technology enables components to be mounted and soldered to the PCB with greater precision and reliability, and these are protected by the structural rigidity and durability of an aluminum backplate and stainless steel I/O bracket. The ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB graphics card gives gamers with small-form-factor builds the exceptional thermal performance they need for extended AAA gaming sessions.
