QUOTE(yokoloco @ Oct 1 2014, 05:56 PM) i think either one is ok, but i tend to lean towards Asus GPUs. reliable and long lasting. ya, i totally agree with about the quality & cooling of Asus gpu. i dont really overclock or do much crazy mods on it. the R4 is ok. cooling performance wise i think its decent. If you are looking for more cooling performance, maybe can resort to other casing which are more suited for something like water cooling etc. but , nowadays msi gpu seems like being better and better. especially this new series of gpu asus 970 only requires 8 pin power connecter , scare that it wont be stable when heavy gaming . Alright , i think i will choose R4 , i only do air cooling not watercooling . thank you for ur advice |

QUOTE(runsing @ Oct 1 2014, 08:57 PM) 8-pin is already meant for supplying 150watt, and the PCI-e slot itself is capable of 75watt. and that is already 225watt. iirc nvidia specs says of gtx 970's TDP is 165watt. (or was it 145watt o.. i c, now i only know pci-e slot got 75w watt.. ..hahaha~ i think should be enough for Asus 970 (225w) )even overclocked version of gigabyte's gtx 970, only draws 177watt while gaming. only during stress test does it draw 242watt. however, do keep in mind that real gaming is nowhere near that heavy loaded as there are ups and downs of processing due to changing scene. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia...ll,3941-12.html will probably choose asus thank you so much bro, and nice link for my reference  |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Nov 27 2014, 01:11 PM) Not sure. It may work with other heatsink designs. I'm testing CLU now. Hopefully it stays the same after a few months. I m thinking to use mx 4 for my cpu and gpu , bcoz i tot the paste can last very long ,no need to reapply so soon . But after got ur experience with mx4 , may change my mind to buy it. |
