    "Creator" is the next "gaming", isn't it. Creator RAM! Creator PC cases! Creator chairs!

    ASUS Announces the GeForce RTX 30 Series - ROG Strix, TUF Gaming, and DUAL

    The TUF Gaming heatsink actually looks nice... I just hope it's better than the first iteration the 5700 XT got.

    Thermaltake Intros TG-30 and TG-50 Thermal Compounds with Honeycomb Pattern Stencil Applicators
