Now let’s take a look at the BIOS setup screens on the Zotac ZBOX Magnus EN1070
The BIOS
The BIOS setup page is fairly simple and easy to navigate. It doesn’t have much OC options (even though there is an OC page), you can able/disable the Intel SpeedStep and Turbo Mode and that’s it.
I couldn’t find the options to set XMP memory profiles, and there’s no CPU or DDR voltage controls. So in effect, this is BIOS is very limited – rather like the BIOS you’ll find on a laptop/notebook.
Motherboard and Chipset
Memory and SPD info
CPU-Z Information
All looks normal here.
GPU-Z Information
The onboard GeForce GTX 1070 found on the Zotac ZBOX Magnus EN1070 is designed laptops/notebooks. So the GPU clock rate runs slightly lower than the desktop versions. Still, it’s very nippy at 1443 MHz with a boost clock of 1645 MHz.
Temperatures
Now this is interesting. During the AIDS64 CPU+GPU stress tests, the temperatures sky-rocketed to 71-73 degrees Celsius for the CPU, while the GPU temperature it 78 degrees Celsius.
No wonder, the heatsinks were so large on the Zotac ZBOX Magnus EN1070. My only concern is that once you hit the temperature threshold, CPU throttling may kick in … and that may cause some issues.
Luckily, we didn’t experience this … what you see is the highest temperature I could achieve.

Thanks for the review. What is the fan noise like when the system is under load?
Surprisingly, the fan noise is quite low under full load.
Great Review!
A quick question!
I want to buy one, but just to change his MXM Graphics Card, I have an Alienware 17 R5 eDP, and Im wondering if this card is going to work with it.
Before I buy the Zotac 1070, any change you can give us a hand and try it on a MXM Laptop with eDP?
Thanks!!!
You need to double check with the manufacturers to make sure these mxm cards work
6434 GFlops from the AIDA64 benchmark sounds a bit too much. I get only half of that with GPUburn on Linux. Can someone try GPUburn on windows and see what they get?
does that mxm gtx 1070 need a power cable{like clevo and Aetina mxm gtx 1070…….they need a power cable } ????????????
i have a plan to use it in a dell precision 7710 laptop
but if it needs a power cable then i think i have to forget my plan
if there is anyone also have same plan as me please contact me in
facebook 01521431468
whatsapp 8801521431468
if there is anyone have dell 7710 u can help me with your valuable suggestion
No power cable needed… well, I didn’t see one for the MXM card
