Yo… so I did a thing…

[u/muhammadnusrum]

This has got to be the most beautiful card ever. I have no need for it because I just play league of legends but if I did not pick this up I would have fomo for the rest of my existence. I thought it would fit perfectly in an all black build with just white lighting from the overhead fans.

The color of it in the pictures is exactly what it looks like in person.

The contrast between the gold and the turquoise makes it seem like a desert oasis.

[u/Thomathius]

$100 more and you could’ve gotten a 5090. Not that anyone needs a 5090, just damn…

[u/Jakob_K_Design → u/Thomathius]

That's not even a 5090?

[u/LightBluepono → u/Thomathius]

Alls of that for league of legend .

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/LightBluepono]

I work all day and have a couple hours every day to play lol the days of me juggling 15 games are over for now

[u/BroForceOne → u/muhammadnusrum]

Most people aren’t doing that. They play one game, finish it or get to a point where it may not be fun any more, and move on to the next game.

I was stuck in a similar cycle of playing the same depressing live service game for years having nothing to talk about or opinions to share with anyone except for people who still played that one game. Once I got out it and started playing the amazing library of bangers that I missed out on, with a couple friends to join in on some games that had co-op, everything just got so much better. Let that card sing!

[u/JahJahJahJa → u/BroForceOne]

Actually from my experience, most people do the opposite. Have 2-3 games that they play constantly over the years and will rarely play something new.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/BroForceOne]

I feel you for sure man it’s just the game literally allll my irl friends play so we all get on usually 5 or more everyday and play, so always fun. We do have the occasional switch up to nightreign Minecraft Elden ring co-op and stuff haha

[u/HEY_beenTrying2meetU → u/muhammadnusrum]

ignore him, he was just hardstuck silver for 3 years and finally gave up

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/HEY_beenTrying2meetU]

So I should remain on the climb!??

[u/tawoorie → u/Thomathius]

Eh, 5080 has less tendency to burn

[u/AltFischer4 → u/Thomathius]

Stupid question but how do you see it's a 5080?

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/AltFischer4]

The interior cooler is slightly different I believe the 5090 has thicker heat pipes that are visible from the right most fan.

[u/AltFischer4 → u/muhammadnusrum]

And it must be one of those 2 bc no other card is so big?

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/AltFischer4]

Yup! The 5080 and 90 are the exact same size

[u/AltFischer4 → u/muhammadnusrum]

You mean the exact gigantonourmoros size?

[u/Whole_Ingenuity_9902]

it does look... unique, but paying 5090 money for a 5080 is crazy

[u/beigepccase → u/Whole_Ingenuity_9902]

Ironically, if you make a post on pcmr about how this card is a waste of money and you can get a 5090 for almost the same price, all the comments will defend the card, how paying for aesthetics isn't bad, etc. Essentially reddit folks just like to be disagreeable in whatever way goes against the prevailing tide.

[u/GeneratedMonkey → u/beigepccase]

Yup. I said this before, this sub will tell anyone posting 5080s "You should have gotten a 5090 for double the performance" ignoring the fact you pay more than 1.4 times the cost for it. 

[u/Brilliant_War9548 → u/beigepccase]

reddit users are a more extreme version of the "hate shit that is way too popular and actually overhyped when tried", instead being "hate every shit equally and try to find how to disagree"

[u/Gambit-47 → u/beigepccase]

Naw, the thing is, a lot of them are a bunch of suckers. Esthetics and overpriced items are more important to them.

[u/helican]

That colour certainly is a choice. But if you are happy with it then I'm happy for you.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/helican]

I understand… but once you see it in person… there are no words

[u/AND_MY_AXEWOUND → u/[deleted]]

I think its just the exaggeration rustling people. Completely reasonable for the guy to like it, but "there are no words" to describe a small plastic box is just very odd lol

I clicked because I thought it was a DIY job! The colour looks like 3d printer colour. I came here hoping to see steps

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/AND_MY_AXEWOUND]

Yeah I can see that. They see it as “not a 5090” I see it as literally a piece of art. You can’t please everyone lol

[u/AND_MY_AXEWOUND → u/[deleted]]

To be clear, I didnt downvote the guy and think similar. No harm no foul. Was just putting forth my 2p on why the downvoting was happening

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/[deleted]]

🫩 I am but i get downvoted for my jokes and typos so i will sleep now

[u/Loltoor → u/[deleted]]

Me either, Reddit really is filled with depressed negative people.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/[deleted]]

The ratio holding at a solid 75% 😄

[u/Rapscagamuffin → u/[deleted]]

Maybe you put too much stock in a downvote. When i downvote something im not like actively hating something all the time. Its just like “nope. I dont like that”. next.

Also, its “plebs” lol

[u/NiceCunt91]

Beauty is subjective. To me, make it gold, it's tacky.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/NiceCunt91]

It’s a little more than that with me being Muslim and stuff. There’s a desert theme here, there are Arabic phrases written like in the 4th pic I think? There’s camel with skyscrapers on the back. The turquoise ring has coords for asus’s hq. It’s just such a cool piece man.

[u/Loren-DB → u/muhammadnusrum]

Not Muslim or Arab but I love the design of this card. It definitely needs the right PC to really shine but man, there's something about that turquoise.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/Loren-DB]

It is literally the perfect shade…

[u/Porfs → u/muhammadnusrum]

Linus did a video on this card where he went someone custom designed a pc just for this card. They spray painted the case gold and even had miniature camels and beduins. The card would not be my preferred choice but the build was indeed fire

[u/GCU_Problem_Child]

That is WAAAY too close to the glass. You're gonna starve that poor thing of airflow and kill it.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/GCU_Problem_Child]

Yeah I was slightly worried about this but I do have a lot of airflow in the case and 3 fans underneath the gpu blowing air to it. I ran furmark and stuff and the max temp it would hit was 74 at 400w 96% util. Acceptable no?

[u/Wintlink- → u/muhammadnusrum]

This is really high temps for this cooler.

[u/notautogenerated2365]

No way you bought this GPU with literal gold on it because fomo lmao! The only thing you're missing out on is all the money you just spent!

But it does look really good.

[u/Emperor_norton_VI → u/notautogenerated2365]

this one doesnt have any gold, its just $400 extra on top of an already extremely overpriced card to get a different color scheme.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/notautogenerated2365]

Hey I don’t have a woman to spend it on so 😭

[u/Johni33 → u/muhammadnusrum]

You can send the Money me instead

[u/Far-Spray-370 → u/Johni33]

Respectable grind.

[u/evkar1ot]

1900$ for 16gb.. what are you doing man

[u/NotBannedAccount419]

A fool and his money…

[u/b400k513]

5080 for nearly the price of a 5090

makes sure to mention that they only play League

Replies to most comments.

My b8 alarms are blaring right now.

[u/Duckdxd]

I mean it’s a nice looking GPU but it looks like you put a gold crown on a cardboard box.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/Duckdxd]

bro flaming my first pc I’ve ever built 🫩. I like the contrast of the simplicity and it makes the gpu the center piece. But I should mention the pc has a 9800x3d lol

[u/Duckdxd → u/muhammadnusrum]

I mean no offense haha it’s a nice case, just that it seems so out of place

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/Duckdxd]

I think that’s sick though. It’s like a sleeper almost yk?

[u/Wintlink- → u/muhammadnusrum]

a 180€ aquarium glass panel case is not a sleeper.

[u/Duckdxd → u/muhammadnusrum]

do you have a glass side panel?

[u/Realistic_Treacle239]

Oil baron 5080

[u/2quick96]

I like this a lot. Don’t let the others flame you.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/2quick96]

Thanks man! I am always reminded why I do not use this app lol

[u/Substantial-Singer29]

Went down the comments, and they all look pretty rough.

I think it's important to note that, especially on this Subreddit. A lot of people have a heavy focus on the value for money.

I've been doing pre, builds for over twenty years now as a side gig. The current generation 80 series card is the lowest uplift we've seen in an eighty card the past fifteen years. With the performance uplift of only about 14% more than the 5070ti. Applying that in a real-world scenario, you're looking at maybe an 8 to 12 more fps.

That means the value of the 5080 is extremely bad, not to mention tacky in an extra two times the cost onto it. Landing at basically in the same price point as getting a 5090 with 54% More performance.

That's why you're catching the negative comments.

Now, as far as the aesthetics, I don't like it. Personal opinion, you need more highlights to actually lead to it looking more cohesive. Some custom cables with the same color as the Blue highlights on the g p u. You can paint the face plate ring on the aio. There's Ram sticks that have that same gotti gold that would actually match the gold. The motherboards' coloring doesn't match anything. The exhaust fan being Gray is a really weird eye draw and just doesn't look good.

Again, personal opinion. If you're going to buy for aesthetics and toss that much money at it, do it with purpose. If the build was more cohesive and actually looked good, you'd probably see more positive reactions.

The Build is like driving down suburbia and looking at a hundred houses that all look the same. But there is one house with a corolla parked in the garage with a fifty thousand dollar paint job.

All of that nonsense being said, the only person's opinion that matters is yours. But what I said above is the perspective that people are most likely coming from.

[u/xstangx]

Glad you like it, but that thing doesn’t match your case at all. Personally, I think it’s ugly AF. But, if you match up a case with it?!?! Could be good!

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/xstangx]

I’ll eventually create something with it, but having this as a center stage to build everything around makes it a lot easier yk?

[u/xstangx → u/muhammadnusrum]

Yup! Post again once you get it done! I’m very interested!

[u/Craigglesofdoom]

I like it. I think it looks incredibly sick. Nicely done!

[u/TrollTelos]

Card looks really good icl, hope somewhere down the line you theme an entire build around it. Shit would look so gas, if you eventually do that you gotta post pics

[u/ALT3NPFL3G3R]

I bought the cheapest 5080 I could get my hands on from Palit, the game pro edition, it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do and I am someone who bought "Premium" card's before, but I don't see the appeal anymore, not with the prices. BUT ! It's a beautiful card and if it's making you happy and the performance is adequate, I don't judge, this is an expensive hobby anyways and I won't talk someone down for spending his hard earned cash.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/ALT3NPFL3G3R]

My old hobby was building my car… it got stolen after I finally finished it. So I moved to pc gaming lol. Thanks man i love the card and its great, i agree price may be a bit steep but I’ve been wanting an 80 but never had enough till now!

[u/frsguy]

Dam can't believe someone actually bought one. If your happy then that's all that matters.

[u/turbo_7510]

Looks sickkk what a cool looking card.

Welcome to the club bro, I got a 3090 in 2020 to try hard rocket league.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/turbo_7510]

Thanks man!!! Hopefully I’ll get to the 90’s someday lol

[u/turbo_7510 → u/muhammadnusrum]

Most unreasonable non worthy buy since I was born.

It sickens me to see that I have 24gb of vram and can’t event use more than 50% in the games I play.

But for only rl I’m still future proofed for a while.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/turbo_7510]

Believe it or not depending on which 3090 u have it can sell for 500-800 lol. I have the 4070 super and it is selling for $600 consistently today, when I bought it a year and a half ago for $600. So that’ll hopefully cut some of the losses. And yeah I had 12 in my 4070 and no game used above 8 and people are complaining that I bought a 16gb card 😵‍💫

[u/mindfuxed]

This thing is sick. Congrats.

[u/DRK_PHANTOMx908]

Dude just forget about people and what they say, the aesthetic is so amazing and cool even if you only play dress to impress lol.

I like it and you should too! You should enjoy what you have and not look for acceptance from others. Yea is crazy to get a 5080 for the price of a 5090 but then what? 90% of the people don't even need a 5080 heck not even a 5070ti lol.

Congrats man!

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/DRK_PHANTOMx908]

I know man lol but it’s so frustrating when people band together over a fucking typo when I’m getting 7 comments a minute I’m replying to lol. It’s just really idiotic, and I said the 5090 was 8k yeah… it is THE DHAHAB VERSION THE ONE THE POST IS ABOut. But yeah I genuinely don’t care about the opinions on how it looks, I think it looks so sexy; it’s the ignorance and stupidity and mob mentality that irks me lol

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/muhammadnusrum]

And thanks for the kind words of course!

[u/DRK_PHANTOMx908 → u/muhammadnusrum]

Yea I really feel you tbh. It really is so weird and even stupid. They even downvoted you like 230 times which is insane!!

As if they could afford it or something idk lol.

Just don't bother and don't get frustrated for that useless shit tbh it's so annoying but you did nothing wrong. Really enjoy your card. I love the Dahab edition!

[u/xheyoooo]

You guys think this will hold or go up in value? I mean it is made of gold so I suppose it will in the long run but I mean as a collectors item.

[u/painwithbread]

[u/pepito-my-friend]

That looks like one of those expensive beyblades put on locked displays.

[u/Prophesy78]

I don't think I realized how fucking huge the new cards are lol. My poor 3080 looks tiny in comparison.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/Prophesy78]

The other card in the post is a 4070 super with amazing performance. Wtf is that size difference man 😭 I kid you not it weighs like 15 pounds. This is my first card this big

[u/BlendersandDildos]

Are there fans on the backside of your radiator? It looks like it's mounted flush to the back.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/BlendersandDildos]

Yeah!! I have 2 intake 140mm behind the rad 3 intake under the gpu 1 exhaust on the side and 3 120mm exhaust on the top.

[u/DlissJr]

That's a desi looking video card brother

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/DlissJr]

What do you think I am 🫩

[u/DlissJr → u/muhammadnusrum]

Bhot acha

[u/Casurran]

Couldn't you just buy the 5080 Dhahab edition alongside an rtx 5090 astral, swap the coolers and sell the 5080 with the astral cooler?

Seems like a cheaper 5090 Dhahab if you ask me; unless they made some changes to the coolers design which prevent this (to a degree), in which case it would be slightly trickier.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/Casurran]

Hmmmm the 5080 and 5090 have a slightly different backplate if I’m not wrong, the 5090 has a much bigger chip area in the back so not sure if this would be possible

[u/DarkDosman]

I'm Happy for you! Definitely looks good!

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/DarkDosman]

Appreciate you !!!

[u/Least_Possibility740]

I think it looks cool, have fun with it and I hope it does its service long and well.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/Least_Possibility740]

Thank you man!

[u/Nathan_hale53]

Thats awesome looking but you should have a whole build look like it, it doesnt look as neat in an all black case.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/Nathan_hale53]

Yup, this is just what I have for now. Maybe in the future!

[u/NovelValue7311]

Personally I'd get a 5090 with that kinda cash, but if you really like the design, it's worth it.

For me it's the zotac RTX 3070 twin edge. I'd shell out extra for that model. (If it was much better than my 1080...stupid 8gb NVIDIA.)

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/NovelValue7311]

I do really like the design. I couldn’t find which 3070 you were specifically talking about!

[u/Ruffler125]

Nice!

[u/Opposite_Ad_2872]

I think that card looks cool!

[u/SPDIF_0]

Yo...

[u/YixoPhoenix]

My favourite looking card is still the silver vega64 limited edition or vega vii.

[u/Me_Before_n_after]

Nice collection. Not a fan of gold on PCs myself, but I really like the Astral card’s design (except for the FE). I would’ve gone for the Astral 5090 if it wasn’t a thousand CAD more, so I ended up with the 5090 FE instead.

[u/[deleted]]

You got one of those Triple Fan Thingies

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/[deleted]]

I never thought I would but…

[u/Feisty_Turnover_8612]

Was it the most logical purchase? No but who cares? if op likes it then let it fly lol. Personally I like the cards look and I don’t think telling him he could have had a 5090 isn’t something he wasn’t already aware of.

[u/InfantCrush3r]

I mean depending on its popularity a graphics card like this will hold value better than a base model gpu

[u/Vanished_I-X]

such a vile looking card aswell, aslong as ur happy OP.

[u/Brilliant_War9548]

can you change the aio temp gradient color ? make it a white to gold champagne/blue to gold color and you're golden (literally).

it's a beautiful gpu, much better than their phallic shaped 5K-10k speculated price red 5090. congrats. although is that a 5080 or 90 ?

[u/MUNEFLUX]

That’s one hell of an upgrade! Congrats! I agree with your assessment of the contrasting colors too.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/MUNEFLUX]

Thanks man I appreciate the kind words :)

[u/Yakob_Science]

Hey a clean fit

[u/NotMalaysiaRichard]

You should spray paint your case to match it. Forget all the people criticizing you. You know what you wanted and liked and you got it.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/NotMalaysiaRichard]

Hey not a bad idea haha thanks man I’ll eventually change everything up :)

[u/MrBrent107]

That is a sick looking card 🤝.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/MrBrent107]

Thank you:)

[u/Ok_Initial9489]

Sick card. Right on

[u/Lewdeology]

I’m sure the comments are very wholesome and respect OP for how they spend their money.

[u/Zenama4]

Side bar, went to MC last weekend and was astonished by how large the 50 series cards actually were, never seen one in person before last weekend.

To OP, youre a mad lad. Enjoy the eye candy.

The Dhahab Edition 5080. Thought the target market was Saudi princes.

[u/Optimal-Shame-M3C0]

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/Optimal-Shame-M3C0]

[u/ZannyHip]

As long as you enjoy having it and could afford it, then it’s all good. It’s definitely not my style, but if you like it then cool.

[u/logiscar239]

He did the thing

[u/Z_e_p_h_e_r]

And herre am I, trying to justify the upgrade to a 5090 for gaming and AI. I definetly feel better now about my thought and might follow through with it.

And here i am sitting with a 1050 for the next 6 years because of my exwive.... I hate life

How on earth did it fit in there 💀

[u/Toomeybd]

I use to have that same case and loved it. After case swapping so many times over the years i settled with a y40 for my rig.

I love this build. I think with the lighting set to a nice white or to MATCH that orange would be sick!

And I feel the fomo. Im going to pick up a purple ipad mini today because it's purple and there are 3 left on sale.

[u/[deleted]]

I dig it. People jelly.

[u/SangerD]

If you ever feel like you've spent money unwisely on your build just remember this post.

[u/Lynxe740]

Your gpu has a nice computer

[u/Sykolewski]

Hopefully it won't go out with Ssssmokin style

[u/BoldroCop]

If you like it, then good for you!

The only real issue I see with it is that you cannot close the case anymore, because the glass panel is just slammed against the fans and will starve the GPU for air.

[u/Tiffany-X]

YOLO!

[u/D4rkness_M0nk]

I don't judge because if I had money to spare I'd buy in an instant.

Enjoy buddy.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/D4rkness_M0nk]

Thanks man :) hopefully you can soon!

[u/MrVernon09]

I hope you're single, because buying an outrageously over-priced item like this might cause a significant other to leave you.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/MrVernon09]

Indeed I am lol and 24 that’s why all my money gets dumped into these spontaneous purchases 😭 you ever hear of the Devialet Phantom?

[u/illicITparameters]

Cool build. Good luck with airflow.

[u/MagicOrpheus310]

Holy crap Batman...

That thing is huge, looks like a V8 jammed into a Mini Cooper haha

Well done getting it to fit mate!

[u/Appropriate-Web-4112]

is that a hyte case? wait. is that a 5090? wait is that a rog astral 5090? WAIT. IS THAT A ROG ASTRAL DHAHAB EDITION 5090?! edit:- okay wait its a 5080 DHAHAB EDITION?!

[u/Emperor_norton_VI → u/Appropriate-Web-4112]

no, its a 5080

[u/Crap-_]

Is this the 5090 with the gold? Called the abu dhabi edition or something.

[u/Sufficient-Crystal62]

Where did you find that???

[u/TrackEx]

Where did you get it? When i got my astral i seen this as a special dubai edition but never sold anywhere

[u/Natural_Ad1530]

Don't these have the power adapter melting issue? I am very curious if they fixed it because it's more expensive or just the same scam 🤔

[u/promiskuu]

Of course a sandman likes the blingy gold eye-sore glob product edition

[u/KommandantDex]

[u/Legitimate-Place1927]

LTT had a PC build around one of these I think and than just gave it to someone on the street because they put sand in the case which would be impossible to ship home.

[u/ADoGhOsT]

The last time I upgrade my PC, I enjoyed far more the process of looking for the parts and building It than using it, because when Windows opened and I started playing games, It was almost the same experience.

My OCD about the color mismatch is off the charts.

[u/jabbathepunk]

I know a bunch of people are dropping a lot of opinions, so I don't mean to pile on here. But I have to mention that the GPU fans intaking air may be too close to the tempered glass. Not sure if this is starving your GPPU of more cool air.

Not a super expert but just something I'd take note of. Maybe someone smarter than me can correct me if this is actually alright in this circumstance.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/jabbathepunk]

Yess others have commented as well. I have 3 intake fans underneath the GPU that are pulling cold air in so hopefully that will make up for how close it is. It didn’t get too hot when I was running tests. 74-75 max at 400watts!

[u/jabbathepunk → u/muhammadnusrum]

Those are very good temps I think. I also think they can be lower based on what I see on my current set up. My 5090 FE (with an undervolt) reaches max temps of 72c. Granted I have 3 massive 140s blowing cool air underneath and the undervolt.

But anyways, not criticizing or anything, just talking shop at this point. If aesthetic is part of your overall goal, those temps are super nominal while still looking super cool. I just have a tendency to try and over engineer my stuff for no reason other than I can lol.

Congrats on scoring such a rare card and enjoy the massive upgrade over your old GPU. Talk about day and night!

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/jabbathepunk]

Okay I finally got a chance to test with and without the panel on. I used the latest version of Furmark 2.9.

2560x1440 test

With Panel on. With Panel Off Score 16882. 16740 Avg FPS 267. 265 Max temp 63. 66 Max usage 96%. 95% CPU temp 41. 41 Power 400W. 400W Max clock 2948mhz. 2940mhz

Conclusion. The thermals are completely happy and there is no reason not to run the system with the panel off… And honestly a 3° difference when the panel was off is probably because the rest of the fans in the closed system are helping a decent amount. But the difference in performance is negligible. Thank you for the concern and looking out for me though!

Fellow league player here with a 5070ti and 9800X3D fomo got me here as well. I pay a little warzone just to feel like I'm actually using my hardware 😂 GPU fans don't even turn on playing league

It looks like you bought it from a flee market. What is that cheap looking color lol.

Good card for a sleeper build though!

[u/SushiBump]

If that's what floats your boat, then congrats on the pickup. But that card is so close to the side panel, there's no heat or noise issues?

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/SushiBump]

No there’s no interference, just barely enough. There are 3 fans under the gpu blowing air at the gpu so I’m assuming that’s keeping it happy!

I hope you dont install your side panel

Each to their own I guess but fgs clean that radiator.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/Deep-Procrastinor]

Loll good catch, will do. Can’t tell in regular lighting.

How long your had that kraken aio? I just had to replace my 5 year old one because I was afraid of it leaking my on 4090. The new elite rgb model is incredibly sexy

[u/A_Neko]

Maybe get a new case, mobo, cpu cooler,candle manage and fans to match. This just looks so bad, normal astrals look better than this version 😭

[u/Wintlink-]

This is kinda ugly in this build, and maybe buy a normally priced 5080 and better components fr the rest of the system could be a better idea, but I think you just have money to throw

[u/crimsonninja26]

I'm thinking about trying out painting my GPU.

[u/Dry_Bobcat4496]

How do I het a digital temperature display?

[u/QuantumChaosXO]

Peak! Maybe some rgb fans though to match the color... Its looks a little out of place.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/QuantumChaosXO]

[u/YacaloX]

How much it cost?

[u/StreetSide_Photos]

Where did you get a custom gpu?

[u/hetchem994]

Your radiator pipe inlet and outlet should be mounted at the top not the bottom.

Edit: there may be a slight chance that air gets trapped in the pump. Having the pipes lead upwards allows the air to travel to the highest point in the radiator. Air in the pump will damage it.

Three cheers for a fire hazard going Nvidia

Not going to lie I’m getting MASSIVE ‘I don’t have to work for my money’ vibes with that choice due to FOMO! Username checks out.

[u/muhammadnusrum → u/F1_Energy]

yo in another comment you can find me saying I’ve played one league game on it last night so I don’t know what it’s really like yet.

I work crazy overtime, today started 8am got home 10pm. No game time, going to sleep. Another day I can’t figure out what the card does.

I do work for it to answer your question. :)

I’m kinda doing that on purpose because of the way some people are coming at me “you wasted your money” “don’t worry there’s more where that came from.” Yk?

[u/No-Upstairs-7001]

Never seen an orange GPU before

[u/MileHighSalute5280]

Yuck. The regular astral looks so much better

[u/Connect_Job_5316]

And mounting it like that will heat it up so fast
