Evga gtx 1080 ftw
New
Before half the crypto
note: ftw is the model
lucky son of a bitch
Like August
i didnt have a job till december
and by then
bITcOIn was big
Rip
I got my watercooled MSI GTX 1070 Sea Hawk X
for $450 in december 2016
yall can piss off
Not bad
the watercooling is amazing, I can run synthetic load for 15 minutes and never hit over 61C and that's without the radiator fan working hard at all
like 60%
thats a really high temp for that cooler
brb gotta piss which involves me going upstairs
should be sub 50
especially with low TDP 1070s
you dont need fans or liquid cooling
If I'm drawing over 100W, I can measure how much heat is being output, and with math can determine BTU transfer relative to ambient
just blow very hard at the gpu
so given the paste and all is good, I know my cooler's limits
i know yall have experience blowing things
just buy a portable ac and hook up a hose to the case
and 61 synthetic over long periods, I never get over 55C in games for long term where the GPU is realistically stressed
brb
evga uses the same coolers they shouldnt get above 50c is your ambient temp really high
theyre all made by asatek and the pump dies after 1-3 years
whos gonna use it for 3 years
my builds never had a part stay for longer than 2
my ambient was raised during those tests because I had two other GPU's in my PC's
but it's completely irrelevant
it stays cool as shit for a GPU
way better than ACX
also, some games I can easily get over 165 fps, some only 80, so the advantage of that monitor is versatility. When I have lower framerate but higher than 60fps, I'm not limited to only 60. Also, gsync makes frametimes even, so my 100fps is visually superior to 140fps with no gsync. Even with games like CS:GO, I can see a DRASTIC difference with Gsync on, I'm not unnecessarily exaggerating. I used the monitor before I bought it because a friend had one.
I was so impressed with Gsync that I had to have it, that's why I got it
worth the extra $ by far, have no regrets
also I got the monitor over half a year after the GPU, and bought the monitor expecting to upgrade GPU
