The gaming market just got a little more retarded.

>>60157059
Not that bad. The shroud is more tacky.
I'd rather get that glass side panel that is a display to put read outs on. Or even a small lcd to mount on top of my main monitor.
That thing would be to small to get a reading off id you have less than 20/20.
If it had a larger display, preferably full color that could fit more readouts I'd consider it for a next build, but for anyone with a brain, it's not worth what extra it would cost.

>>60157059
Coming from the muh colours LED bullshit that's been popular I'd say something functional is a step in the right direction.

>>60157119
Who leans into their case to look at a GPU card layout when the rest of the case is already blinding leds

>>60157164
I'm not saying it's very functional, just that it serves a purpose, which is more than you can say about glowing fans and memory modules.

fucking retarded
what's next? a butt plug mounted on top of your CPU so you can fuck your self?

>windowed cases

i like the shroud, i'm not gonna call it retro, but i like how it's not "aerodynamic" looking, kind of pre-soap bar car looking thing

sensor is kind of dumb, i like it on my current sapphire card where blue is cold, yellow is warm, red is hot, but there's no way i'd be able to effectively read something like that without closely staring into a 200mm fan and a bunch of metal mesh grating getting in the way

god tier

I get about 12c cooler than my 980ti (83C to 71C), and it's about 90% faster in performance. I haven't even really tried to push the thing but it's a fucking monster

Witcher 3 at 4k is insane

>>60160466
I am jealous anon. Meanwhile my GTX970 windforce runs at 81C under full load. A 4k capable card would be the next logical step for me. Let me finish with my masters first and find a job then we'll see.

>>60160532
Just get a credit card like me desu senpai. No interest for a year. Free loans. I wish I held off though because I'm graduating from school in a month and still have some papers to write...

>>60160589
Nah man, loans is a redline for me. I just live with what i have.

>>60160609
good on you then. In that case I'd wait until you can get one for $500-$600. $700 was ok because I'll be dumping my 980ti for $300 on ebay so it's just a $400 difference

that's the reason it's smart to buy premium. It has high resale value.

>After windows loads, about 4-5 mins in there is a weezing/humming sound...after than screen goes black. Well i rebooted, then as quick as i could i tried to just up the fan speed, then the thing sparked 5 inches into the frigging air. I was lucky enough to keep my PC sideways and panel off (To make check lights, connectors etc) An extreme fire hazard.

This is why you don't buy gay shit.

i don't even have a windowed case who buys a fucking windowed case for bullshit like this?

>>60165510
i like to have a windowed case because i like to make sure everything is okay in there, i can check for dust and other shit like that, i can check for non working fans, on my old gpu one of the fans stopped working and the windowed case probably stopped me from lighting my case on fire

>>60165538

you would notice if your gpu fan was not working without having to look in your case if you software monitored your shit. as for dust crack your system open and clean it every 3 months and you're fine.

a windowed case is for manchildren and boys to show off what mommy's money bought. don't try and justify it.

>>60165611
oh boy if only i gave a shit what a sperg on 4chan says, feel free to buy non windowed cases, its a free world

I mean anything on that cooler that isn't actually cooling the gpu is pretty excessive at that point, but the cards pcb is already excessive to begin with

I got a core 9x, they literally don't make non windowed cases anymore without paying specialty prices or having a shit case.
If I could, I would go windowless. its just not an option.

likely going to airbrush the side panel black in the coming month though.
