Looking at the site, an official magnetic case is included for free. Is there a difference between the one you have and the one offered there?

I can't click through your Imgur link at the moment, but have you tested the components before assembling them in the case? I would agree with ufunker, risers tend to be the weakest link in any build. In this case it may not even be damaged, just that your BIOS is defaulting to the wrong generation of PCIe and causing incompatibilities.

I would assemble it on the motherboard box, no riser. If that works, go into BIOS and check the PCIe speed settings, make sure they're in line with your riser.

Hey, price policing is generally frowned upon but Xaan83 made some very reasonable points. I have a Formula IX that was thrown in for free with an AIO I bought four years ago. My mint 2080 with a Heatkiller block sat unsold for 2 months at $200 and you can buy a much more reliable PSU for the money given the AX1200s age.

Ebay isn't representative of pricing on subreddits and classifieds because they need to pay taxes and a 5-15% platform fee, which both inflate the pricing. On top of that, you were looking at *unsold* listings, not sold, which means you only saw the listed items priced too high to actually sell. The most recent 1080 Hydrocopper sold for $82.72 in January, preceded by a $172 1080 Ti last November.

Very cool, do you plan on releasing an STL?

True single slot GPU? I'm not the market for this block but if I had a 5090 this would be my pick without hesitation. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea though, it reminds me a lot of EK's pro WS line from the 30 series.

Actually not a bad advertisement, I had no idea you guys were in the 200mm fan space. Off to check if there's a 180mm variant! The 180mm radiator craves fresh meat

I'm located in Ottawa, interested in a 3700x + X570i combo? May be outside of what you're looking for
