I like sapphire but that is the most dull design they ever made.

Man, I've been trying for like 2 weeks to get that card.

It's clean though

Sapphire is fire... there are some great tuning guides out there. Let me know if you want to explore.

[modern cradle]

I havent tuned it yet

[torpid island]

👍

[modern cradle]

This is why mostly

[sacred igloo]

I wouldn't mind seeing those guides because I'm holding out for this specific card

This is generally how to tune, and he is using Ref design. With AIB XTXs it gets even better. For those who have scoffed at the high power draw, you just haven't put in time of understanding basics of how AMD cards work. its easier than you think. 👍

though if you want to reach for 3+ ghz you absolutely will draw 400w+

[lean tapir]

@modern cradle It's clean because it's plain flat lines with no effort?

[modern cradle]

Im used to the older designs but i like how classy and neat it looks like

[modern cradle]

This gpu can eat 500w like nothing

[fallen carbon]

that's exactly what looking clean is

[modern cradle]

Plus the light bar on top and bottom when u side mount it is genius

[torpid island]

this is true. if you want to push it, it def hits above 3Ghz and needs 400w

[lean tapir]

@fallen carbon Clean means clean lines and design. Not plain and flat.

[modern cradle]

I wanted the asrock taichi 7900xtx

[fallen carbon]

same but its never been sold

You can't even see the GPU with the side panels on. It's a nice build though.

[lean tapir]

Damn that GPU is hugging the glass. Even if you got a vertical mount that could move back a slot it would hit your Res setup.

[modern cradle]

u cant bc its a hyte case

[modern cradle]

luckily i have 2 120mm intake fans under it feeding it cold air

[lean tapir]

Those don't really feed it air. With the cards position it's blowing hot air back into the card. So yeah, not great.

[modern cradle]

i could always get a 45 degree angle adapter

[lean tapir]

The Majority of cards exhaust out of the sides of the cooler. So, the fans are just recirculating that hot exhaust.

If it fits with your watercooling parts then that would be great for the card. 👍 As someone else mentioned unservolting can help a lot with minimal performance degradation.

[modern cradle]

i always undervolt my gpus

[lean tapir]

If you want to get rid of those zip ties some double sided tape would work. I think Velcro would be best so you can remove it when you need to.

Is that the special edition of the red case or did you add the graphics?

[modern cradle]

its just temporary until i get back from my work trip im buying a new cpu and x670e extreme mobo and new pump

I just saw it the other day. I thought it looked good but it was odd that they covered all the views that the case is known for.
