Video review from the channel Konsumer

The ROG STRIX OC version gets the absolute maximum quality that ASUS offers you. Whether it's cooling, the VRM components themselves, we can even talk about the look because this card looks expensive.

We ran Furmark to heat up the card and found it maxed out at 55 degrees Celsius while staying really quiet at only 32.3 dBa so there is still some headroom for overclocking.

Video review from the channel UldonsTV

On the other hand, ASUS has done an overkill brutality with this STRIX OC version – the card is silent above all, incredibly cool even at the highest load and boosts solidly more than the declared figures, some 130MHz plus.

TechnoSports

ASUS ROG as a brand maintains its reputation and delivers amazing products for years now, this top-of-the-line RTX 3050 OC edition is an example of that.

而 ROG Strix RTX 3050 OC 8G 壓力測試時最高僅 55°C 的溫度表現，肯定能技壓各家同型號的顯卡，而這張建議售價則是 NT$12,990 元，也是這波入門卡中較貴的一張，但想要再入門攻頂、ROG STRIX 最便宜入門卡，那肯定就是這張囉！

ROG STRIX RTX 3050 OC GAMING 基本上 PCB 和散熱器都沿用上一階 ROG STIRX RTX 3060 設計，不只外觀和燈效一樣厲害，強大的三風扇散熱器，搭配豪華用料，用在 GEFORCE RTX 3050 根本太超過，燒機溫度可以來到 56 度，是一張沒有對手的顯示卡！

Take Flight


From top to bottom, the ROG Strix GeForce RTX™ 3050 has been designed to push performance boundaries. A fresh design and more metal surrounds a grouping of Axial-tech fans that leverage a new rotation scheme. Below the blades, a larger, more impressive heatsink is ready for the most demanding thermal loads. The PCB has some new tricks up its sleeves, and even the backplate has received some performance-boosting changes. For gamers who want to get the most out of the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, the latest addition to the ROG Strix stable delivers in every way.

ROG Single Fan

Fans


AXIAL-TECH FAN DESIGN


Three cutting edge fans feature a smaller hub that facilitates longer blades and a barrier ring to increase downward air pressure.

Fans

New Directions

The two side fans spin counterclockwise to reduce turbulence. And to eliminate unnecessary noise, a stop mode halts all fans when the GPU temp falls below 42 degrees and power consumption is low.

Pause

Heatsink


MaxContact


To get heat up off the die and into the heatsink array to benefit from the new fan design requires special attention. We use a manufacturing process that polishes the surface of the heat spreader to improve smoothness at the microscopic level. The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die for improved thermal transfer.

Premium Components


Top-shelf capacitors, chokes, and MOSFETs are selected to effortlessly deliver hundreds of watts at a millisecond’s notice. The Super Alloy Power II parts are soldered to the PCB using our advanced Auto-Extreme automated manufacturing process. Smooth joints on the rear of the PCB and the elimination of human errors ensures each graphics card meets our rigorous specifications.

FanConnect II


The rear of the card sports two PWM FanConnect headers that provide additional DIY flexibility. Chassis fans can be directly attached to the card and tuned with a curve that is based on CPU and GPU temperatures, providing extra intake or exhaust for demanding 3D tasks.

Fresh Shroud


In addition to under-the-hood design changes, the ROG Strix features a new face with metal accents that mirror the design aesthetic of ROG and ROG Strix motherboards. Textured accents in a greyscale colorway blend seamlessly into subtle builds or make a striking impact while the card is vertically mounted and lit by chassis LEDs.

It’s Cooler Out Back


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. The I/O bracket is made from stainless steel to protect ports and provide a more secure mount. A conveniently placed Dual BIOS switch allows quick selection between “performance” and “quiet” mode for basic customization of the card’s default behavior without software. To top it off, an ROG logo with addressable RGB backlighting adds flair.

Functional Front


A new addressable RGB element lines the front edge of the card and can be customized with Armoury Crate software to sync lighting and effects with other ROG components. To fulfill the power demands of the GeForce RTX 3050, an 8-pin power connector is present, along with an onboard 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.
