My amusing gpu saga (continued)

[Mcnumpty2323]

For those of you who were enjoying
A bit of a laugh at the goings on even if it was at my expense lol
Luckily I know you guys sense of humour and not afraid to laugh at myself most times
The thread /post seems to have
Disappeared
@mrbell1984 and @alex h
In particular
Pleased to say the 2nd card actually wasn't nicked from under my nose
And is currently in the hopefully capable hands of DPD
And due to arrive tomorrow at long last it better be bloody good after all that carry on is all I can say lol

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

I found your thread?

https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/zotac-artic-storm-rtx2080ti.18883021/page-3

That was probably the beginning of it
The rest was on the open for business as usual post which has gone awol

Really pleased for you mate glad your sorted would have been a micky take if you'd lost that one aswell
And yeh I noticed it had disappeared myself think it was because people moaning about delivery times

Yeah probably
Thought they might replace it with an updated version
But apparently not

Unfortunately, a compatible water block for it will be available in 2025

Lol
Don't I still have to fit the block myself without breaking anything lol

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

All this fuss just to play the sims. pfffff

Lol
Minecraft with Ray tracing
No idea why people like that game at all

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

Yeh right don’t lie you sit n play sims all day lol

Damn you caught me out
But will it play crysis

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

On a side note
Couriers are also heroes currently
Can see the dpd guy is only half a mile away from me
But won't get here for almost 4 more hours
He's got around 200 deliveries today
Due to inconsiderate sods like me ordering luxury items to break the lock down cabin fever I guess

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

You might not get your parcel until Monday in that case

Lol
Can't even go catch him and ask a favour
As literally am not leaving the property due to my partner being in high risk groups

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

which card did you get in the end?

KFA2 /galax
Not one would personally have chosen
Their a lesser known brand here I guess
But to be fair I wouldn't have chosen
My current palit card
And its been flawless

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

The gpu has landed.

Totally not impressed at all

No haribos in the box lmao
Main thing is the screws and thermal pads seem to be there on the B grade block
That saves me having to hunt for some

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

That's so they can save 50p to claw back the saving you just had with the card.

Lol
It's because those noobs on night shift packed it lol

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

Maybe there's no haribo for night shift workers. Post some photos.

Not even opened it yet lol

[Mcnumpty2323]

Will fix links properly later on pc
Though this one actually works lol

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

So it's arrived at last glad you got it sorted mate now put that block on and enjoy

Thanks
Will test it after dinner
And fit block at weekend if it's working ok

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

That water block won't fit it's the wrong one @Mcnumpty2323

Lmao
That's possible it's not always simple figuring out the right block
This looks unused probably someone
Lined it up on their gpu and realised it
Didn't fit

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

what it doesn't fit? I was only kidding!

Can't tell until the original fans and heatsink are removed
But won't do that until tested the card to make sure it works
And I knew you were kidding lol

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

We have life lol
Squeezed it in behind my vertical mounted watercooled card
Tight fit but got there just
First benchmark is over 2x the overclocked watercooled gtx1070
Now I know it works as long as I got the right block should be watercooled by next week.

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

Dude you haven't even plugged the graphics card in. You can't play sims on that if you don't plug in your 8 pin. doh!

Lmao
I almost went and looked there
But of course that's the gtx1070 lol

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

Thank God for that lol

Yeah exactly
Just got to fit the block lol
Just playing with a bit of overclocking on it now

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

Someone told me you donating the card to me? is that true?

Lol
If I **** up fitting the block
Will donate it alright
It will arrive by air.

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

Just pretend to break it but don't actually break it then you can donate it via air travel. Glad you got the new one in though.

Was going to test it in the pc that's up for sale once the gtx1070 is in it
But stubbornly wanted benchmark
With exactly same hardware
Getting the power connectors on was
A real pita though behind the gtx1070
