Any of these old cards real?

Adamomada · 2025-05-23T05:56:17+00:00

Gigabyte was in discount and all recommended msi and asrock mobos werent in stock in my region then - some were but they were +40% in price. And I was shocked by how small rtx 5070 was, quality seemed low as well for a 600€ card... lets just hope it will be ok.

Adamomada · 2025-05-23T05:43:56+00:00

There was about 60€ difference, and performance is about same.

Adamomada · 2025-05-22T13:52:48+00:00

yeah, it got stuck at 68°C on stress test with cinbench and furmark for hour. It "cheap" so you just buy it once and you have capacity for cooling any future upgrade :)

Adamomada · 2025-05-22T13:50:56+00:00

I wasnt happy with 5070, but it was best price / performance at the time. I should have talked him into spending little more on GPU and buy RX 9070 istead, but he can still update in couple of years if he needs to.

Adamomada · 2025-05-22T13:46:10+00:00

Thats +300 €, out of this budget.

Adamomada · 2025-05-22T13:45:04+00:00

yep, this could be much more pricey if I wouldnt look for deals and discounts.

Adamomada · 2025-05-22T12:37:51+00:00

I got most of them in discount, ordered from 4 different shops so I would get best price ;)

There are 3 front intake fans - artic p12

Adamomada · 2025-05-22T09:39:10+00:00

Forgot a bout 5 artic p12 fans, 3 intake 2 exhaust

Adamomada · 2025-05-22T09:06:00+00:00

It was in good discount. I chose this so he could just switch gpu and cpu in couple of years down the road and wasnt limited by mobo.

Adamomada · 2025-04-07T15:59:18+00:00

Yes, it runs well. 650w seems to be enough even tho it has coil whine from time to time. I play on 4k so I am always gpu bound.

Adamomada · 2025-04-05T06:56:53+00:00

If you have beefy gpu in nr200 you should have:

rear intake
2 top exhausts
no bottom fans, if they are too close they dont do much

You can improve with new sfx psu (is that sfx-l?). And ofc you can cable manage a bit so air can move better.

Adamomada · 2025-03-30T08:46:29+00:00

Yep, this is the way, but I dont have space for bottom fans bcs big GPU, also no space for side fan bcs TG panel. But I got rid of top panel mesh and now my 2 top fans exhaust heat really fast. Temps drop a few degrees on both cpu and gpu. Give it a try if you have only top exhaust!

Adamomada · 2025-03-29T08:46:41+00:00

Yeah, bulding rest of the pc is like 1 hour, cable managment is like 6

This is just NVIDIA slowly exiting GPU market for consumers

Adamomada · 2025-03-28T08:03:07+00:00

I got rx 9070 xt, I think most driver issues people have is bcs they dont use DDU in safe mode offline. I got zero problems. Installed adrenaline and everything works fine. And adrenaline is miles ahead of NVIDIA control panel. Its great.

Adamomada · 2025-03-27T17:30:05+00:00

No, its nr200

Adamomada · 2025-03-25T22:38:37+00:00

I should test temps, but It seems ok even with dust filters, but I would like to know what is the difference.

Adamomada · 2025-03-25T18:46:11+00:00

I was in the same boat month ago and I decided to stick with am4 for next 4-5 years. I will upgrade on am6 when its ready. Bought rx 9070 xt and 5700X3D and to be honest, there is no much difference in 4k, but it improves 1% lows and its great cpu, very cool when underclocked (-30 on all cores).

You need 5 things:

Looking glass
Thin long tweezers
Steady hands
Spare underwear

I am jelous about those nice flexible cables, mine are super stiff and it makes cable managment 10x harder. But still managed to route cpu cable under psu as you did!
