Evga gtx 1080 ftw

2018-03-14 04:37:38 UTC  

New

2018-03-14 04:37:50 UTC  

Before half the crypto

2018-03-14 04:37:51 UTC  

note: ftw is the model

2018-03-14 04:37:56 UTC  

lucky son of a bitch

2018-03-14 04:37:57 UTC  

Like August

2018-03-14 04:38:04 UTC  

i didnt have a job till december

2018-03-14 04:38:07 UTC  

and by then

2018-03-14 04:38:13 UTC  

bITcOIn was big

2018-03-14 04:38:13 UTC  

Rip

2018-03-14 04:38:20 UTC  

I got my watercooled MSI GTX 1070 Sea Hawk X

2018-03-14 04:38:31 UTC  

for $450 in december 2016

2018-03-14 04:38:42 UTC  

yall can piss off

2018-03-14 04:38:43 UTC  

Not bad

2018-03-14 04:39:27 UTC  

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

2018-03-14 04:39:42 UTC  

like 60%

2018-03-14 04:39:54 UTC  

thats a really high temp for that cooler

2018-03-14 04:39:56 UTC  

brb gotta piss which involves me going upstairs

2018-03-14 04:39:57 UTC  

should be sub 50

2018-03-14 04:40:20 UTC  

especially with low TDP 1070s

2018-03-14 04:40:21 UTC  

you need to understand HVAC to know what to expect

2018-03-14 04:40:34 UTC  

you dont need fans or liquid cooling

2018-03-14 04:40:44 UTC  

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

2018-03-14 04:40:46 UTC  

just blow very hard at the gpu

2018-03-14 04:41:06 UTC  

so given the paste and all is good, I know my cooler's limits

2018-03-14 04:41:06 UTC  

i know yall have experience blowing things

2018-03-14 04:41:11 UTC  

just buy a portable ac and hook up a hose to the case

2018-03-14 04:41:28 UTC  

and 61 synthetic over long periods, I never get over 55C in games for long term where the GPU is realistically stressed

2018-03-14 04:41:53 UTC  

brb

2018-03-14 04:42:06 UTC  

evga uses the same coolers they shouldnt get above 50c is your ambient temp really high

2018-03-14 04:42:38 UTC  

theyre all made by asatek and the pump dies after 1-3 years

2018-03-14 04:43:38 UTC  

whos gonna use it for 3 years

2018-03-14 04:43:52 UTC  

my builds never had a part stay for longer than 2

2018-03-14 04:45:25 UTC  

my ambient was raised during those tests because I had two other GPU's in my PC's

2018-03-14 04:45:53 UTC  

but it's completely irrelevant

2018-03-14 04:46:05 UTC  

it stays cool as shit for a GPU

2018-03-14 04:46:11 UTC  

way better than ACX

2018-03-14 04:48:40 UTC  

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.

2018-03-14 04:48:51 UTC  

I was so impressed with Gsync that I had to have it, that's why I got it

2018-03-14 04:49:01 UTC  

worth the extra $ by far, have no regrets

2018-03-14 04:49:25 UTC  

also I got the monitor over half a year after the GPU, and bought the monitor expecting to upgrade GPU
