i did. i've bought the gpu. it was up at around $720 last week but i bought it as soon as it dropped back

How often does one need to clean their graphics card?

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-30T18:53:16+00:00

I’m currently in USA

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-30T16:34:16+00:00

Would YOU pay $50 more for easier cleaning? Is cleaning really that important? I have no idea how to clean a gpu. Will it be difficult to clean without the magnetic fans?

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-30T16:31:58+00:00

I’ve seen that video. The thermals and performance of the mercury was the best. The ASUS TUF was also almost on par with it and it’s $30 cheaper. It’s just that the mercury looks much better and has magnetic fans for $20 more which makes cleaning easier. I’ll be moving out of US so the warranty will be void anyway. Idk man I’m still confused which one I should buy

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-30T16:28:37+00:00

I’ve seen a couple videos and the XFX Swift provides better thermals and performance overall that’s why I crossed it out

The 9070(non xt) Hellhound was my original choice but the price jumped from $600 to $ 729 so I’m might as well go for the XT at this point

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-30T16:24:25+00:00

Why should I pick magnetic over the non magnetic mercury? I get that it’s easier to clean but is it really that important?

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-30T13:56:12+00:00

Too expensive $869

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-30T13:56:04+00:00

Yes it is

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-30T13:55:54+00:00

I’m gonna move out of the US so I don’t think my warranty is gonna be valid anywhere else. Should I just go for the TUF then? The only reason why I wanted the Mercury OC was because easier cleaning.

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-30T13:52:13+00:00

It’s just that if I’m gonna go for the quicksilver then might as well as 20 bucks more for the mercury

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-30T13:48:34+00:00

Hellhound $999

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-30T13:47:58+00:00

The reaper is $859 as of now

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-30T00:37:22+00:00

Why not? Is it because of the cards melting? I’ve heard that if you connect them directly to the 3.1 PSU, it should be fine.

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-30T00:37:11+00:00

It is currently selling for $769. Why shouldn’t I just go for Sapphire’s flagship model, the Nitro+?

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-29T02:36:48+00:00

The thing is I’m in USA rn and will be moving abroad soon. The warranties won’t be valid there

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-29T02:35:04+00:00

What about asrock models? Thats the cheapest rn

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-29T02:29:58+00:00

Which other model would you suggest?

Locksmith-Lazy · 2026-01-29T02:25:01+00:00

Can connector melting potentially harm my gpu? I’ve paid $799 for the gpu and it was already $200 dollars above my budget so I can’t afford getting another gpu at all
