There are few less well known brand GTX1080 FE in here that costs around RM3,200.

For example, Zotac, Digital Alliance and etc.

Well known brands GTX1080 FE are about RM3,600 to RM3,700 over here based on the current forex rates.

However, shops here tend to quote price even they do not have stocks as they mainly operate as agents.

so where can i get the asus strix oc for cheapest? have to order from overseas myself is it?

I am quite curious if the pricing of the Asus Strix GTX OC (be it GTX1080 or GTX1070) in Taiwan (where Asus HQ is located at) would be the cheapest since it would be almost directly from the factory.

another indepth review on the asus strix 1080 oc
http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/asus_...080_review.html
not sure about cheapest, but seems like at least it doesn't have throttling issue. but whether the fps increase is worth extra cost, or whether to just simply get founder edition instead  hmm.gif
by the way thanks for sharing the youtube video since it covered lots of AIB choices  thumbup.gif

Thank you for posting that review of Asus Strix GTX1080.

I have an Asus Strix GTX970 and I didn't really like the cooler as it was really loud after 70% fan speed. Therefore, I replaced it, photos attached:

Welcome for the AIB videos as I am heavily considering for GTX1080 or GTX1070,

As of now, I am planning to get either Zotac (triple-fan version), Gigabyte (triple-fan version) or Galax (triple-fan version). I would like to avoid replacing the cooler this time.

May I ask what casing you use?

Sure.

Corsair Obsidian 750D Airflow edition. It is a full tower.

Thank you, like the idea of drive bay at the bottom. Nice Casing..
*
The drive bay is removable and can be attached in other areas.

I have two of these cases.

Quite sturdy and not too heavy also (as compared to Silverstone TJ10 ESA edition, which I previously owned), I managed to transport this entire casing (including the installed components) to Jakarta.

Gonna get me one of these case. easy to manage cable and got removable drive bay.

Lately, most of the casings will have cut-outs. You could consider the following casing:

1. Coolmaster case pro
2. Phanteks series
3. Corsair's Obsidian series and Graphite series

Those were the cases which I was considering on the top of my mind.

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?

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

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

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.

Very nice white casing and colour matching with your GPU.

Will you be replacing the 2x Asus GTX970 with GTX10XX series?
