Great review on the taichi by Hardware Canucks, looking like I made the right choice on this one

I got a message from DPD about collection location for a parcel, and the only thing I have ordered atm is from OCUK so fingers crossed for a dispatch today on my TaiChi!
edit: damn thought it was the taichi but looks like its a set of flush cutters for doing custom cables :(
Thanks very much! Will go ahead and pop a pre order in- also the fact you have sounded generally impressed with them and are using them in a branded bundle is very promising!
Running on a 6600k igpu since Xmas waiting for pascal. The pain is real. Cant even play home-world remastered at at >720p on it. Dota runs at 40fps with medium settings
Depends what you want. Amp extreme does have the larger cooler- trend for the 1080's appears to be that the largest cooler wins in terms of thermals and noise. Overclocking is almost irrelevant sadly (though the zotac does give you a pretty nice boost clock and memory overclock)
Switched my pre-order to the amp extreme, hopefully less of a wait than the FTW. Disappointing by the rather lackluster thermals on the FTW Tbh, especially with how long they have taken to get the card out compared to the other two slot coolers (i know the amp is not a 2slot!)
I ended up reordering my FTW from the jungle because I got a large student discount that probably means they are making a loss on the card. Just hope there are enough going to retailers next week that they can satisfy preorders, will suck if we are waiting till august or later for enough stock
Owch yeh the 480 isnt as impressive as I was expecting (based on the hype). Think I will just stick it out with my FTW pre-order. Was hoping I could stick one for under 200 from the jungle using my discount but they are considerably more expensive than OCUK ( £209 vs £230 on the saphire).
Decided im just going to wait out on the 1080 FTW but check out what the AMD rx 480 performs like at the end of the month- if that card can hold me over for 6-12 months of playing vr games I will wait for the 1080 TI I think. If the AMD does not look great then the EVGA will be out about a week...
Has anyone seen how the msi gaming x stacks up against the ftw in terms of cooling and noise? Tempted to switch to the msi as I can get it sooner. Can only manage a 2 slot cooler so I'm a bit limited in choice. Strix is to loud at load for me.
Hate the look of the msi but no case window so...
Tried to change my shipping address on the ftw because it's taking so long and I could well be on holiday when it ships but told I would have to cancel and reorder as I used Amazon payments- so right to the back of the line again.
This really sucks I'm sorry but if I had been told that I would...
Yep only way I can get better prices is with my 5% student discount on a jungle themed website however
a) Said websites cards are more expensive than OCUK without
the discount and it only works out a few pounds less expensive with
b) no great customer updates on card shipping like we are...
