Wah shipping cost must be damm huge 4 these sizes

I brought it a long as checked in baggage.

Took the 40kg limit for AirAsia.

You could also consider the Corsair Air series 540 or 240. The latter supports MATX/ITX mobos, which I am using. Provides excellent cable management and good air flow

Haha ok very good idea

I have travelled to Australia and Indonesia with my full tower PC for a few times, previously.

Other than the weight and the installed components (mainly the tower cooler). The rest is a breeze.

Wahh, Accelero Extreme IV. Just wondering, does the hot air blown upwards from the GPU back fin get suck into the CPU cooler heatsink? Does it effect the CPU cooling

Artic Cooling Accelero Extreme IV without the backplate heatsink from Artic Cooling because it was a nightmare to remove Asus Strix GTX 970 backplate.

The casing have plenty of airflow.

My GPU's temperature is around 31c @ idle and below 56c @ load.

My Processor's temperature is around 29c @ idle and below 55c @ load.

Ahaaaaa. Good setup. Something to learn and consider if I change GPU in future. Currently I'm running Asus GTX970 Turbo OC SLI, zero slot gap in between, and I'm getting 80C + 76C at gaming 1440p UW or 4K with around 29C~30C room ambient temperature.

I wanted to explore using Artic Cooling Accelerro IV in a SLI environment. Unfortunately, I don't think that would fit in any setup given that it takes more than 2 slots (per GPU) and also the fact that I am using a Asus Xonar D2X soundcard in between.

Besides the size, SLI will run hotter than single card. I read that it will pumped too much hot air into the case and its better if you can get a reference card for 2nd SLI to blow hot air out. Otherwise you have to improve the case ventilation significantly. I know I've done CF with 2 x Dual Fan AMD R9 270 and temp was crazy high. Even the CPU temp went up because of the huge amount hot air circulating inside the case.

Interesting, thanks for sharing your experience.

As of now, my casing currently have like 4x 140mm intake fans (ie. front and top) and 1x 140mm exhaust fan (ie. the back). I find that this results in a slightly lower temparuture as compared to 2x 140mm intake fans and 3x exhaust fans setup.

What was your fan setup for your SLI / CF which resulted in large amount of hot air "trapped" inside the case?

RX 480 8Gb price released, RM1249.

Awesome price for a GPU which is as powerful as a GTX980 based on benchmarks.

Well, for one, the R9 270 GPU is already a pretty hot, even on the Sapphire Dual-X. Plus my case was pretty small, the BitFenix Prodigy M. CF with zero slot gap some more. Card temp reached 90+C for bottom, the top card reached 100C even on stock. I only had 2 x 120mm intake bottom, 1 x 120mm CPU AIO out rear, plus 230mm out top. Well I think even with bigger case, the result would have been the same because of the zero slot gap between the cards. Basically the top card is taking in the hot air coming out from the side of the bottom card. So after a while, ditch that, and when for a single R9 290 GPU. Now using Asus GTX 970 Turbo OC SLI. Goes well with the NZXT Phantom white color case.

Not sure about the RX470 but the RX 480 4Gb version is expected to by sub RM1k

I would be surpised that if GTX1070 and RX 480 are at the same level given the pricing but would definitely welcome the competition.

AMD targeting different market segment with RX 480. Its never meant to compete against 1070. Read that during E3, AMD announced the RX 470 and RX 460 too, which basically concludes the Polaris 10 line up. Guess GTX 1070 and 1080 won't be have any competition until Vega comes out. If RX 480 can come even to 10% close to 1070, its a no brainer if the asking price is here is RM 1,249.

thanks. wow still long time to wait for full lineup review/comparison of reference+AIB Polaris 470, 480 4GB/8GB and possible GTX 1060.
