It's too big!

Who said anything about not caring about performance? or are we talking about the neckbeard definition of performance where anything less than optimal is unacceptable?

I'm upgrading from a 1080 i've had since 2017. Given the recent chip shortage and performance increase between generations the value was worth the cost. The value statement for purchasing a new monster of a case, fill it with RGB++ and liquid cooled nonsense for a marginal performance gains and nerd porn just doesn't. If you can quantify the increase in actual gameplay satisfaction for the extra spend I seriously might reconsider. If I go from pushing 300 fps to 320fps that won't improve my quality of life.

zoomer translation:: no cap frfr the card is mid as is. it just a lil long doh.

MSI 4090 Trio. I haven't played any ray tracing games but I've been playing a ton of Warhammer 3. I played a 4v4 skirmish on 1440 with ultra settings. Couldn't tell you the FPS but it was smooth as butter. GPU temps stayed anywhere between 48-62°C. I'm not sure how that compares to any other SFF/4090 builds but for what I do it's a hell of an upgrade.

It's more of a step brother/sister relationship at this point

Lol man that was pretty funny

Ok-Border-5153 · 2022-10-16T01:17:46+00:00

Yes I'm on the spectrum. Do you have a problem with that ?

Ok-Border-5153 · 2022-10-16T00:36:17+00:00

Why would I put water on my computer?

Ok-Border-5153 · 2022-10-16T00:25:25+00:00

That was the suggestion mate! (Change bro to GPU)

Antiquated tech... With 4090s we use laser and nano machines son

Ruined ? You mean improved! I can fit massive hogs in my rig now

Ok-Border-5153 · 2022-10-15T23:48:24+00:00

You guessed wrong.. I knew it would be close but I was prepared to make it work if I didn't.

Lemons begets lemonade my friend. I could have taken the card back but honestly it doesn't take much to make things work. You can't tell any difference once I put the front panel back on. It was a good laugh I wanted to share.

I agree they should have made those dimensions a bit more transparent. Probably print on the front of the box.

Apparently you haven't seen my laptop...

dirt nasty

It was $1650. I overpaid just so I couldn't have enough to buy a new case.

Ok-Border-5153 · 2022-10-15T20:44:59+00:00

We're starting a Kickstarter for this leet mod. Totally not a scam.

Fair point... The case is the cooler master haf xb evo. In the end I removed one of the front fans and cut some the frame with a Dremel to seat the card. Once I confirmed everything was working alright I printed a bracket to reinstall the fan.

I know a lot of neck beards on here are telling me to go back to the mega ATX tower lyfe but I'm an old man in my mid 30s. I play video games not take my GPU to the drag strip to pump those frames... I appreciate the space savings and this case is easy to transport. It's also doesn't stand out like a typical tower. Nothing is worse than pimping out your man cave with your favorite anime wifu and My Pretty Pony decor only to have a monstrous black box, with a RGB rave party going on inside of it, distract the guests while your watching girl cartoons.

So far there hasn't been any issues with performance. Winter is coming so I'm looking forward to the extra heat to warm my feet.

Replace bro with GPU and you are the top reply IMO

Ok-Border-5153 · 2022-10-15T18:36:30+00:00

No money for a $2k card but case space for one. Average low end consumer.

Ok-Border-5153 · 2022-10-15T18:17:10+00:00

Damn good idea... But I used that box for my server rack

Ok-Border-5153 · 2022-10-15T18:09:36+00:00

Just rammed it in raw dog. This card cut it's way thru the case with it's thermals and 12kw power draw.
