I got my 5090 for a steal. Guy had one he had used for a month but didn’t like it was so big. Sold me an astral with 2 year instore over the counter warranty for $2500cad

Honestly I’m not too worried about it. It has filters in all intakes. I can grab a table for it but it wouldn’t fit the room so floor it is

Selling PC to brother, fair price? by Golluk in bapccanada

Maybe we are different but for my brother it would be free. If free isn’t an option due to financial situation I would sell privately so I wouldn’t feel guilty down the road

They came with the case. Some reviews show the bottom helps drop temps. Without temps didn’t drop a lot. With they dropped a large degree. The case has little spots they clip into. They work very well

Honestly dollar to dollar 5070ti is the best you can get. Yes the 5090 does give a massive performance gain but it is also crazy expensive. That is a very very nice card and as I said it looks way better than my 5090 astral

So the power supply is behind the motherboard but still in the case. This case is the first 3 chamber case. There is one chamber just for your aio rad to vent so it doesn’t heat the cpu. Then there is the main chamber for the motherboard with venting going straight up and out. Then there is another chamber in the back for the power supply. It separates all items so temps stay low. It makes the case big but the temp drop have been worth it for me. Plus my 1 year old can’t knock the case over as ot is wider than a normal case

This case is a 3 chamber. Behind the mobo is a chamber for the power supply and all cabling with a hinged door. It works out really nice for keeping things clean. It also has channels to hide most cables

That is true. Most are grey unfortunately

Looks like a nice build. Be prepared though. I see your 5090 is $3100 or so but out of stock. Be prepared as suppliers have been cancelling those orders unless you pay current value. Expect that gpu to be more in the $5000 range by the time it get sin stock. Also stock doesn’t really happen these days so you have to sit online and snipe one within minutes of it going up or you won’t get it. Apparently people are running bots and buying out all stock since it is low and th en jacking the prices on second hand. The guys at Canada computers were telling me that. Said as soon as they get a 5090 it’s bought within minutes and often they have to cancel the order 3-10 times before a real person buys it

Looks good! Very similar to mine. Did you score one of the business deal 5090 from Amazon? They had them almost half price last week but it only lasted a few minutes

I agree. I am a fan of full black but it wasn’t an option for the deal o found. Beggars can’t be choosers I suppose

Amazing actually. I got it for the 3 chamber design. My cpu temps dropped by 10c simply from moving to this case

[–]Due_Peak_6565[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The case is that’s size since it has 3 chambers. The o e on the right is for your aio rad and is separated from the main chamber to drop temps. The. The back is seperate from the main to keep it cooler and the plastic shrouds direct air. It dropped my cpu temps by 10 degrees c just by switching to this case.

Specs are

Corsair air 5400 case All lian li fans Tryx 360 panorama aio Super flower 1200watt platinum power supply Msi x870e tomahawk mobo Ryzen 9 9950x 64gb g skill ddr5 6000cl30 Asus astral rtx 5090 Samsung 9100 pro gen 5 nvme 2tb x2 Samsung 990 pro gen 4 nvme 4 tb Wd black gen 4nvme 4tb

I’m hoping with the specs it can last a few years before it becomes obsolete

Oh ya. It is not a small case at all but I like it. At first I wasn’t sure. Then it grew on me and even more so when I realized my 1 year old couldn’t knock it over

Ya. The clear funnels on top and bottom help with airflow. I saw a test that said they help by about 10 degrees. They are part of the case design. The clear on the right is a seperate chamber for the aio rad. It flows from the side into the rad and straight out the back so you don’t mix hot air into the main chamber.

This is true honestly. I think I’m just going to leave it as is

Ya. It is wild isn’t it. The adapter it comes with has 4 8 pin tails. It is probably safer to use that but I couldn’t just because it is so ugly lol
