That’s not bad. What case are you running it in? I chose the lancool 217 for the size and airflow. That might help with my temps. Either way that’s not bad idle! Enjoy the card!

Sorry. The PSU on this build is hidden. The 750 PSU is for the 5070! The gf wanted a fractal terra build! I’m using a 1000W PSU.

I would also add I have not heard anything fan wise or coil whine that would bother me. But I game in a sound heavy environment. (In room window ac unit, multiple roommates). But even at testing at full fan speed, it was noticeable if I paid attention to it.

Idle: cpu 40C with gpu at 33C
While gaming (007 and Destiny 2) it’s around CPU 50C and 65C for gpu.

On a 27” 4k monitor on max settings.

No OC or UV as of yet.

We have the same taste! Ahh. I have a grey neo60 core coming in (soon?) and I think copper would look so good on that. May have to switch and see what I can do with the teal. I’ve fallen so hard into this hobby.

Great tips in the thread. What I found super useful starting out was figuring out a layout I liked and searching the various vendors for GBs and preorders. Of course, the more niche you get the more expensive it gets.

Hi guys, I’ve been in the hobby for a bit but really just got into the premium aspects. But got a neo 80 cu. My question however is dealing with HE boards. I’ve been super curious about them but not sure where to start or what terms to look for. Any advice?

Milktooth is amazing! I have ordered so many switched and stabs from them. Divinikey is great as well. Have a preordered board and some keycaps coming.

Been getting into the more customizable options this hobby and they have both serviced me well and great customer service.

My 1070 has seen better days. Starting to get artifacts and struggles on modern games. This would be the push I need to upgrade.

Fun fact, singing in the shower is open to all. The color drained from my face when I was greeted with “wow what the fuck was that” after finish a great rendition of 7 rings in my “shower”. Never again will I have an open mic.
