Reminds me of old times where we rented a small hostel for 30 people and there was a thick rope braided from ethernet cables going through the corridor between rooms. :D As for the case - I was always fond of simple, clean aesthetics, so I like it.

Don't know what was worse - cracked core cause of too-high/uneven pressure, or a hole in the MB from using a screwdriver to clip in the cheap cooler to the socket. :P

When reality finally kicks in... :P

Compact keyboards are good for gaming, cause they leave more space for manouvering the mouse in fast games. This Log setup however is a business solution.

ZF8 here too. :) As for the "Ultra" moniker - I think Asus either ditched small phones cause of "below expectations" sales (same happened with iphone mini), but it was stupid to suddenly increase the screen size so much with next gen. while keeping the same name, or is just leaving a leeway in...

If they made this without the fan, it would've been much better.

I increased it cause the MSRP hasn't changed since 2018 (RTX 2080) and You have to count in the inflation and it's rate was not insignificant for the last few years. IMO 850-900$ would've been a reasonable price for 4080... 1,5 years ago.

Oh wow, it looks so clean and pretty when every component is powered wireles... Wait a second!

4080 (super, or vanilla - doesn't matter, performance basically the same) should've have costed max. 900$ from the beginning. Calculating perf/cost - if 4080 is 40-50% faster than 3080 with MSRP of 700$, then having to pay 1000-1050$ for the former gives us the exact same ratio, as with the...

Having 3 fans is one thing, but You need some more vertical space for the end chambers. Maybe that's what blocks 360 radiators' usage.

Junkies gonna hate... It's good that more cases try to be "backside MB connectors"-compatible, but unless motherboard manufacturers start adding 90° cable adapters, we're gonna end up with thiccc PCs.

Still waiting for them to re-discover finned heatsinks...

Samsung's QD-OLED dispalys do ~250cd/m2 in SDR (with no ABL at all), but in HDR those numbers can go much higher, but with ABL, so only for small objects (You can see it clearly when You open a small window and slowly raise it's size - the whole screen will get darker the bigger the window is.

With G-sync Ultimate (that requires the in-build nV chip) You can't use HDMI 2.1 (only 2.0 is supported), also forget about using FreeSync, which means no advantage in some games that use it. There is a reason why there are so few true g-sync displays on the market - rarely anyone buys them.

My point was that with watercooling both CPU and GPU You can shoot most of the heat directly out of the case (plus the sheer cooling power of 2 240/280mm radiators) and the rest can be cooled with just basic ventilation setup - that's why I don't mind having front vents obstructed. The best...
