Great card!
Pros: The compact size, two 8-pin power connectors mounted on front of card is what I was looking for. I am replacing/upgrading my RTX 3090 Ti card the 3090 Ti is huge, and the 12-pin power connector is on the end of the card, whish adds length needed for clearance. With the 3090 Ti the power connector is into my front fans, unless I bend it,..
Cons: No cons, the vapor chamber issue seems to have been sorted out, and this card has no issues with hot-spot temps.
Overall Review: I would recommend this card. I was worried about the vapor-chamber issue after this card was first released/launched. But I still wanted this card, I was disappointed the card was sold out on launch day, as I had already pre-ordered the EK water block for it, and after not being able to buy the card I canceled the pre-order, and waited for the card to restock on shelves,.. I did not want to pay $300 dollars over MSRP for the reference PCB , so I waited, and then bought this card for a fair price. I have been gaming, benchmarking, and overclocking this card with factory cooling solution and it has worked just fine. I do plan on ordering the EK water block down the road, that's why I needed a reference PCB card, but for now the card looks and functions great! as is with the sleek all black design, and the factory triple-fan cooler works vary well.
Great Chassis!
Pros: I had the Praxis Wet bench for years, and got tired of all the dust on my hardware. I ordered custom magnetic DEMCifilters for this chassis, mounted 1600W PSU externally, custom water cooling,.. no more dust and plenty of air flow.
Cons: I have no cons the chassis works as intended. Other than would be nice to have a vented dual-chamber in the back like NZXT H9 Flow, this would allow PSU mounted inside chassis, and a bit more room for cable management.
Overall Review: I would recommend this case for the size,.. height, width and the air-flow. If you are building a MATX or ITX system and want a small chassis with plenty of air-flow without all the glass panels, RGB bling. This case looks very nice on the bench, keeps my hardware dust-free.
