Like you said, I wouldn't trust the chinks for a moment. See how it does without it first. If you didn't burn your house down you might be fine without.

Also. what in the fuck is happening to this thread?

>>15338609

Why doesn't it have fans?

>>15339371

Call it jewing if you want, but as a fellow gamer, it seems like a good idea. You are paying top of the line tech to be the Best Gamer, who cares if it's short lived? You have an epic and strong GPU for amazing frags and kills while it lasts…

>>15339376

This anon knows what he's talking about.

When you're living on the cutting edge you don't care about lifespan. When your PC breaks down it's probably time to buy an upgrade anyway.

>>15339357

Because it's water cooling, I think. You have fans elsewhere, not inside the tower, if you have them at all.

>>15339405

It's obvious sarcasm.

>>15339405

You wanna see good bait?

I was only pretending

They're probably anticipating the aftermarket where 3rd parties buy a card, slap on a bunch of fans/heat sinks and ship it with drivers that overclock it and sell it to turn a quick buck.

>>15339404

You still needs fans on your radiators. Can't passively (without fans) cool a PC very well unless the ambient temp is low and you have a ton of radiators.

>>15338609

I can't speak to longevity. You would need many many years and a large sample size to determine that. Keeping any component cooler should, in theory, increase longevity though.

I have a watercooled 1080 Ti. Longevity aside, the boost clock on water is much higher than normal because the temps are of course much lower. GPU boost 3.0 sees those low temps, detects the thermal headroom for higher clocks and, in my case, boosts the GPU above 1900MHz. I add just a little more to that and get an even 2000MHz. The primary benefit of water cooling is not longevity but performance.

>>15339405

That or you're just the most retarded thing to ever post.

I would normally spaz out at this point but I got to respect high quality mind fucks going on here. Well played Anons.

>>15339444

You on the other hand your just a fucking nigger.

>fall for goy harvesting and buy $2000 gpu that comes with no active cooling

>slap $200 aftermarket chinese water cooler on it

>water cooler leaks, burns up card

<buy another $2000 gpu because your a stupid goy

>>15339452

My digits say otherwise.

Absolute ebin fellow redditors. :^)

>>15339441

I agree with you anon– I use watercooling for my GPU and to keep the temp down in the entire fucking thing in general. I use my PC for work on some design and editing elements. I really barely use the thing for "gaming" (unless it's a game specifically related to project I've been working on, to see what they are doing with the storyline).

I also like the way you can use this particular case and watercooling elements to design a cool, almost feng shui aspect to the thing that would be ugly as sin in just about any other case.

My hesitations here around a waterblock is that it actually involves unscrewing the outside shied of the card and leaving it totally open for exposure if the chink plastic should crack.

30% increase for nearly double the price.

useless.

never buy new tech, buy older trusted tech

>>15342511

its a gtx 1080 or a ti rebranded as a new card.

they just slap a bunch of extra chips and cal it new.

they have over 1 million gtx 1080's sitting in a warehouse and can't sell them because they don't want to lower the price and fuck themselves in the ass because they panderd to bitcoin miners.

amd is also a peice of shit in that regard.

You need to clean the tank once in a while, but you can cook fries in it.

>Is there any downside to keeping your computer inside a fishtank filled with mineral oil?

Eish, well will admit it does look like that from the outside, but the actual important parts of the build are kept up at the top so even if the thing did break, wouldn't ruin anything. Even the fucking SSD are covered so that they'd never be destroyed if anything over did somehow crack.

>>15342511

>Can anyone tell me exactly why the recently-revealed Nvidia GPU is a scam?

Read the announcements, anon. Nothing to do with…more 4k support or better FPS, just a list of shit and telling you it has all these different internal "engines" that will help with…."ray tracing," which no one really gives a fuck about and no one was eagerly awaiting how "ray tracing" would progress.

IMO, see how the prices on the other families go down and save money and get one of those. If you saved a LOT of money waiting this fucking thing, do an SLI.

At least wait until they get int circulation and see what peep have to say. The idea that they are changing measurement to "gigagrays" makes me completely suspicious they just released a hunk of shit.

>>15342581

If you don't want to cook fries you could always throw a bible in it and have thousands of people buy mineral oil off you thinking its a sign.

>>15342494

Cleaning and the mineral oil degrades the plastic over the long term so the resale value you get and the overall lifespan of the parts are lowered than if you didn't have a mineral oil rig. But if you want it for the novelty and don't care about the somewhat major downsides, go right ahead.
