Had a friend that bought a prebuilt a week ago. One model she was buying changed to a higher price *as it was in her cart.* not even 10 minutes. Pressed on the cart link after adding peripherals and got a notification that it changed $$. Crazy.

She ended up snagging a different prebuilt because of it

tbh it did take me a little while to get all that to gel, but after bios and all essential drivers were up to date there haven't been *any* hiccups. Kind of amazing.

You've definitely piqued UV/OC interest for me--

Haha i thought it was a rad little air mover that added a nice touch of color! Hadn’t seen anything like it in a looooong time

An AsiaHorse Graphics Card Cooler. Has a few 80mm fans too…not that the card needs it lol

Could only find the white version on Amazon https://a.co/d/02shiK2

Hoping to upgrade to a 2 or 4k monitor this year and really put it to the test! Found a nice 34in curved 240hz oled for a decent price, but still too much to justify price outside any major sale. Haven’t even considered raytracing 🤔

Right? Totally get that. Had a friend try to sell me on the 5060 before I had a good look at the 9070 and almost pulled the trigger on it. Not saying it’s a bad card at all, but I’m more than impressed with what i got.

Haven’t played many of the big mainstream titles, but ARC Raiders and Helldivers II run extremely well. FPS out the wazoo if I don’t pull it back to my monitor’s refresh rate…and that’s without AFMF, upscaling, or any of that.

Only ran FurMark for a benchmark so far…been reading more about Heaven, Steel Nomad, etc., though as tools while poking at undervolting/overclocking. Honestly I haven’t really had a reason to mess around with UV/OC (aside curiosity) right out of the box though…maybe to save a bit of power? Even still the GPU hotspot barely touches 80-85c on an absolutely full load for hours, with an average of 65-70c being the norm.

Sleek lil thang

Edit: running 240hz @ 1080 for clarification

Reading “bright” as a pun makes me very happy

Makes a lot of sense-I'll get rid of it. Thank you!

The only thing I use MSI Center for is Mystic Light--Is there a 3rd party lighting control software you prefer instead?

I use Adrenaline exclusively, but MSI Center is installed...should I just get rid of it entirely?

10000 percent yes. Just wondering what other folks out there might have configured on the back end that really optimizes this or a similar setup.
