I made the hat by transforming my zen

I came across http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/r9-290-accelero-xtreme-290,3671.html this article a while back on slapping an aftermarker cooler on a base 290. Is that a terrible idea for someone who doesn't have a whole lot of expertise in the area? In fact, how common is it for people to do that with their video cards? For a CPU it is almost braindead simple.

Kind of want a quieter card though

Yeah it's honestly pretty great. For a comparison to last generations highest end, you can get two 3090s and a bridge for less than a Titan RTX. It's around a good AIB 2080ti at launch, I almost paid $2499 for a Waterforce 2080ti when it came out

So the 3090 is, relative to last generations especially, a better deal in Australia than America which is nice

Does that happen all that often for aussies and electronics

I’m too old to dick around with OCing at this point.

I’ll take whatever I can get out of the box and I don’t feel like I need those few extra frames.

I certainly don’t want to spend the time to find the best OC where my poo poo doesn’t crash. I just wanna log on and game.

When XMP profiles gently caress up at this point I just want to go 'gently caress it' and move on

lord knows i don't want to oc anything anymore

I went to bed at 8pm and woke up two hours ago for no reason, other than I was tired.

I'm awake this early and I don't even have the funds for a card until the end of the month <:mad:>

Also, the card I want doesn't even exist yet, apparently.

Perfect

Then you can't be disappointed like the ones that exist but you won't be able to buy

Have you ever seen a twitch streamer that just puts a random hot girl on the corner instead of their own face because that gets them viewers faster.

This is that + Anime
