Not-retarded price for a reason: it very likely is ex-mining and very beat up. Works just fine though, and that's what matters.

Nothing some vinegar or copper polish can't fix.

Since when does copper rust?

Holy shit, I finally acquired a Radeon VII, and for a not-retarded price too. Hardest part will be to find a waterblock that doesn't cost 90% of what I paid for the card lol

not bad!

Nvidia HBM cards still go for retarded money because of AI workloads unfortunately.

I have a problem. That problem being: my fetish for AMD HBM cards. Yes, I bought ANOTHER R9 Fury X :^)

There's already washers on it.

PTM7950 on the Bykski block works just fine, I'll just accept the fact my card's ****ed. In other news, PPCS had two Heatkiller R9 Fury X blocks in stock which I ordered. Bare copper but meh, $80 for both? sure.

God damn it. Just as I expected: the block performs even worse, and I found out why: the die of my 6900 XT is extremely uneven.

X299 CPUs still go for retarded prices unfortunately :( I'm after a 9th or 10th gen 2066 CPU with more than 10 cores but I sure as shit am not paying 7950X3D prices for CPUs that get curbstomped by a 14900K.

Well since Aquatuning had a 20% off Alphacool products sale, I bought their 6900 XT Toxic block. Hope it'll perform better than the pretty meh Bykski block I have.

Hah, the only thing I care about is FPS. Thus far, the 5700 XT curbstomps the Vega FE, even with it running at ~1.7 GHz. Next step: trying to find a sanely priced Radeon VII.

5700 XT received. Wow, i'm surprised how much faster it is compared to the Vega FE. Really shows how garbage GCN is for gaming tasks. Also scales like ass with voltage :( stupid thing scales worse than the R9 Fury X.

Fan grille installed. Rad looks 200% better with a grille tbh. Should be receiving my 5700 XT tomorrow.
