I am not disputing this, I am just surprised. Why is this the case? I thought a purpose built, short tube AIO without crazy bends would be equal to a custom loop with same size rad. I did Google it and most pps were saying AIOs are on a par, have shorter lives but most importantly - look crap...

Howdy! Just thought I would post a little feedback. Crazy ASUS on board AI overclock gadget got the CPU to 5.3G and the system remained stable. Not sure of voltage but temps were high 50s during POE 4k gameplay (Summoner build - so lots going on). My only observation is the AIO is quite noisy...

Thanks! :D

@tyler_jrb , good point about the cooler. I have a single rad in my current setup. Hopefully the double on the H100 will keep the chip nice and chilled, though the TIM is a fundamental part of the cooling process, so rad-size benefits are limited if the TIM is poop. No shipping email yet, was...

That further reinforces my decision to leave it be! Once it is installed and the cooler is on, I will leave it alone (unless something is wrong ofc). I am excited to receive my bits now! P.S. I know you guys are OCUK regulars, however I feel I should stress that the customer service received...

Final Verdict is in - 8 Pack says leave it as is! So glad I didn't go pimp with the 8086K - I did think about it! Would just be for bragging rights - and my cats don't give a damn :p

Thanks for the input folks, greatly appreciated! I am notoriously lazy when it comes to computers - once it is built, it stays built - hence why I was investigating this process before initial install. Your input has convinced me to assemble as is, fingers crossed for a good chip :D Thanks again.

Hello folks, Long time no post! I have been enjoying my PC (currently I5-3570), issue free so haven't had to post for a while. Some poor performance in games has prompted me to make an upgrade. I just indulged in the following: Intel Core i7-9700K 3.6GHz Asus ROG Strix Z390-F Intel Z390...

Pretty quiet I would say, though it's hard for me to say for sure as I always wear headphones. My case sits on the floor next to me, under a desk. I can't hear it unless I get under the desk, which I did do a few times to see when the fans were turning. Sorry for a crap answer!

Hello folks, Don't know if anyone out there is still holding out for the daddy STRIX; if anyone is - i can vouch for it's quality :) I am an ASUS fanboy, no idea why, just am - it just always works in my experience, but feel free to flame away! My STRIX was delivered after 62 days of waiting...

Az, speeds are good buddy. All i have done is download latest driver and i am getting 2050MHz clock with 1012MHz on the memory. That won't even be in OC mode as i haven't installed the STRIX program yet. Temps are high though, i hit 70C earlier?

T'was another distasteful GPU pun i feel, they should both be 'binned' from the forums ;)

Binned GPU processors and now GDDR5 it seems :/

Hello Az, I have the ROG STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING which is the daddy card :D When i saw the gamer P/N tag, I went straight to the ASUS website to confirm my P/N was the OC one i ordered! The P/Ns and clocks are: ROG STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING OC Mode - GPU Boost Clock : 1936 MHz , GPU...

Woot!! Finally the wait is over. I had to almost crash into the DPD driver to stop him though as i never got a text message, so almost missed my alloted window. So, after 62 days here it is;

Woo-hoo!!!! STRIX is on its way \o/ Only took ASUS 61 days to get it sorted... DPD had better not pull any funny business now by pretending to deliver it...

Consistency is the key to success ;)

Sucks buddy, i have a 670 thats makes a racket under load, still better than no GPU though. For whats its worth, and at the risk of finding a horses head in my bed, i agree with the OCUK CS policy. They take the view that we are in one massive queue. This policy spreads the love and the pain...

LOL! Survival of the fittest I would agree with, but queueing? :D Just tickled me is all, no offence meant.

This is exactly my concern, being one of those still holding on for a pre-order. I am hoping to avoid the silicon lottery by buying a premium, tested product from the start. Call me an optimist but shouldn't I be able to rely on the card running at the boost Clock of 1936MHz pretty much...
