Its big, its beautiful and its a beast!

Pros: I have always been a fan of the Gigabyte Aero Series GPUs. This one is no exception. It looks amazing with its White with Silver Accents. Gigabyte as always did not skimp on materials or design. The plastics look and feel quality, the silver accent is actually metal, the backplate (while not completely functional) is a gorgeous bead blasted aluminum with some subtle waves. There is plenty of support built into he PCB, cooling and shroud to prevent sagging as much as possible, it does come with a nice anti sag bracket though, which is very universal and also comes in white to blend in. Three "hawk" fans are quiet and even when I manually spun them up (just to hear worst case scenario), they sound like rushing air more than motor whine. Limited RGB I have been running the card for a week now and it barely breaks a sweat at 58c while gaming for a couple hours. It's quiet as well. Mileage may vary as my case and cooling setup is going to be different from yours. I came from a 4070 Ti Super, which is more of a lateral move... but, finding a white GPU is difficult on the used market. That being said; the 5070 Ti is a solid card. I am pleased with its performance as it's largely the same and slightly better than my 4070 Ti Super. If you are coming from a 30 series or older, this thing will blow you away! DLSS4 is amazing for graphics clarity and sharpness while boosting your FPS! I don't use Frame Gen, but it's there if you like to use it for single player games where smoothness can help with immersion.
Cons: Large 3 Slot Chonky Design is very "brick like" Limited RGB - Requires awful Gigabyte Control Center Software to control
Overall Review: Highly recommend the 5070 Ti as a whole, its a solid card especially if you can get them for the MSRP before scalping. This is a perfect card for your all white-out build, its big... but, it looks good in the right case as it does fill up the space a bit. Highly recommend Gigabyte as a whole, I have been a big fan of their motherboards and this paired with their ICE motherboards is just chefs kiss!
Great little addition to your A3 if you want to see your gear

Pros: Looks great, easy to install
Cons: Reduces fresh intake of air for cooling
Overall Review: Easy and pretty fair priced if you want to add a glass panel to your A3 and see some of you gear! Keep in mind it can have a negative effect on cooling.
Looks great, easy install

Pros: Adds additional cooling
Cons: Wood look is not for everyone No other front panel offered with additional cooling without wood
Overall Review: This is a very attractive front panel for your Lian Li A3, it's a simple snap off and snap on. It's also really nice that this now opens the front for additional airflow! Also comes with a magnetic mesh for dust control.
