Possible Radeon 390X / 390 and 380X Spec / Benchmark (do not hotlink images!!!!!!)

I hope that these can but integrated into a proper loop with out having to change the block for an aftermarket one. Would be a big + to a lot of existing WC folk. May upset the likes of EK though

To me that actually looks a nice clean/simple design.

Doubt it as the blocks will have a built in pump I'd assume that wouldn't play nice in an existing loop.

Really? I think it look pretty ******* hideous myself. Each to their own I guess.
Having a shiny silver surface that's bound to pick up fingerprints seems like a bad idea.
And that big black area with the holes in just seems really uninspired and dull.

That said, I'm in the camp of not really being bothered what something looks like as it won't get seen much.
With graphics card and most cases you probably see them from the side most and if anything fro mthe back, so a backplate would be important if you're worried about looks.

Then you clean them off, its not like you are going to be touching it everyday.

Well, not me, but you know how enthusiastic some owners get about these things!

Complain about finger prints on a gpu? Heard it all now.

Ayahuasca · 24 May 2015 at 13:41

Some rigs it will blend in well, some it won't, just like all GPU's. If you care about aesthetics over performance then you can't really be helped other than doing your own custom mods or hoping a card is released that fits your colour scheme or whatever.

As I say each to their own.
I just don't see the need for it.
But I've never been a fan of chrome plating. Rather than doing a design let's just make it reflective...

My thoughts too. Though technically the pump should assist your existing pump

Don't see the pumps in these AIO's matching a D5 even on low though.

Would probably act like a mini hydro power station, ha, solved the power problem.

It looks like it has screw-in pipe connectors.

flipping heck :eek:

lets hope the after market versions are better looking, esp the MSI Lightning

there is one good thing though, the 390X is perfect for a Mini pc, because a bulky pc is starting to show its age, but first you'll need to find a really good DDR4 Mini Mobo and i bet these are rare .....uuum :confused:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-136-AK&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=2875,
here's one but i wouldn't buy an AsRock, unless they've improved since 2 years ago !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i might be wrong, AMD might be onto something here

CAT-THE-FIFTH · 24 May 2015 at 14:50

I think it looks fine,but so does the Titan X.

BTW,there are two DDR4 X99 motherboards out and they are both made by ASRock.

So are they barbs or G1/4 threads?

I think it looks great, I find it hilarious how passionate people can feel about the look of a graphics card. I prefer to look at my monitor when I'm playing a game and not into a case window.

^^^ This. What my gpu looks like is irrelevant to me, its all about how it performs.

GoogalyMoogaly · 24 May 2015 at 15:25

If does have threads for standard fittings then that could be a really good idea, assuming the underlying waterblock is actually decent. Plus that there won't be any problems with the inbuilt pump and an external pump.

Do have to wonder though, if it's watercooled, could they not have made it a single slot design like the EK blocks (well and just about any other block on the market). I guess you need somewhere for the pump, but couldn't that go on the end (just extend the length a little)?
