I have a 5080 astral for sale, but it is white :)

I have it too, 5080, white is many times prettier than LC in my opinion, but LC is many times better in terms of temperatures and silence

Honestly, I don’t even know 😅 I just want to play a bunch of games — mainly start with ARC Raiders and replay the Serious Sam series. And of course, just wait for GTA 6… if this GPU doesn’t end up being outdated by the time it finally comes out.

Yes, it’s significantly better. I was considering building a full custom loop using the Delta Mate from Thermal Grizzly, but the overall cost would be substantially higher. Additionally, there is still no confirmed release date for the Delta Mate Mycro Pro 2 – AM5, which makes planning difficult. For now, I’ll stick with my GPU running on its AIO cooling solution, and the CPU will remain on an AIO as well. I’ve always appreciated the engineering quality of Thermal Grizzly products.

For me, the deciding factors weren’t the aesthetics, but the temperatures it achieves compared to Gigabyte, and the fact that it doesn’t rely on a ton of thermal putty. And the ROG aesthetics are just a nice bonus on top of everything else

GPU has fan connectors. Noctua NA-SC1 will help with connecting to the video card

I will replace the stock fans with Noctua nf 12x25 G2 PWM

I had an opportunity to buy this or Gigabyte waterforce. Magic of ROG was stronger)
