It will be $199 for 4gb. I really can't see the point of more than 4gb if it is more than 30 dollar difference. Anything approaching the $300's for nice cooling and 8gb, just save for a 1070. I am looking forward to a 4gb model with non-blower cooling, whatever price that comes to be. This cannot be...

Re: Seasonic Titanium PSUs

I can say with absolute certainty that either Seasonic will work over the phone to fix it with you, some setting or windows adjustment (I know it is crazy sounding but i have heard that from them) or they will replace it for you. that is the nicest company I have dealt with ever, that and Zalman.

In effect it is just a bendy heatpipe. Could be useful for some installations but looking at that radiator the fins look a bit close together for passive operation. A radiator like the original Zalman Reserator would be more suited for fanless operation but this looks to be more designed for fan co...
