I’m on an open case, probably that’s why but when I was using 2080 Ti water cooled, the temps are also around 45C (overclocked). I’ve tested a few 3070, 3080 and this Aorus Master 3080 is definitely the coolest so far.

You probably need to check the fan profile because by default, it tries to stay silent. The funny part is, even at 70% the fan isn’t noisy

Hi Jim,

This is not an open bench but rather an open casing.
It costs around RM1k+ as the acrylic is very strong and supports water cooling.
I have been using this more than a year, so far so good.

There would still be dust due to our environment but it doesn't get stuck on the components so badly like in a casing. You can easily just wipe them off.

I am also planning to sell my whole PC now.
