| haxxiy said: I'm legit buying a new case because I don't think mine will be able to cope with the heat output from the new GPUs. I know that'll probably be an unpopular opinion but PC components should be subject to the same power saving laws that lamps, air conditioners etc. have faced in the last few decades. People were consuming more power than whole countries to mine bitcoins a while back for God's sake. The idea that a single chip would need 250 - 400 watts to function no longer fits today's zeitgeist. |
That's one of my main concerns as well. my current corsair case has a side drive bay and I feel like that's affected the two fans in front of the bay in terms of pulling in heat (it's going through metal holes, a thick mesh and then the drive bays which is quite bad imo). I think my next case is going to go with some high pressure static fans (large) and a drive bay hidden at the bottom. Might even try going for a water-cooled GPU block this time, since I'm losing interest in fan based GPU's (my CPU sports a closed loop cooler and that's been doing me fine the past few years).
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
