My wallet its modular too. Sometimes its TICC for 1 or 2 days and after it shrinks to quantum realm.

Modular as well as not skimping on cooling. A full copper heatsink would do WONDERS on not only heat efficiency, but space as we currently see how much is needed to cool current gen cards

@@kokumosu copper is to expensive and modular desine is also expensive

They are probably mad now! 😂

Modularity; Asus voids your warranty with stickers

I would buy a rtx 4000 if that happens

🙋 Same!

Absolutely me too ✋️!!!

Yep.

Same here

Right 🤣 I wonder if all of the tolerances are from calliper measurements. Looking at the lengths DeBauer goes to ensure micron-tolerance in his products I'm amazed a custom heatsink machined 'at home' is this capable.

@@dylanevans5644 I get what you are saying, and the reason is economies of scale. If you have the proper equipment and know how to use it, you can handmake things like that. And it is very impressive indeed! But having the process for hundreds of units is something completely different. When you can't just maneuver your way around problems at the rate they appear on each individual unit, that's when tolerances and process finetuning starts to matter so much more.

Deal

And, looking at the benchmarks, they're running it pretty hot so you might end up having to in the near future.

@@Lurch-Bot where is it running hot? It's not even touching 80c.

I remember the first time I heard of a "Ti" card...legendary.

@@nfcerick3634 GeForce 3 Ti was better than GeForce 4 MX!

1080 ti kingpin was is the nicest looking car to date.

​@@greebuh It totally is! That mesh of copper heatsink with dark fans created a new aesthetic.

@yensteel it would have been nice to see EVGA keep making cards. My old 2080 ti ftw3 ultra was really nice after I got the cage looking fan shroud accessory but it didn't hold a match to the old Kingpin.

@greebuh yep. I have the 2080 ti kp and 3090 kp and have still been looking to get a 1080 ti kp, it really was the best pcb ever on a consumer gpu. I was actually a bit disappointed with the 3090 kp .

@Apollo-Computers They aren't cheap either, a broken on on ebay is going for 500 bucks lmao

Yeah except you didn't actually do that

@@AgentLazarus yeah nobody can wake up

Really appreciate you stopping by to comment. Thanks!

Welcome to the channel, friend!

Welcome aboard!

It's why EVGA left.... they were awesome cards back in the day.

😍

We can barely afford our business! Thank you for the compliment.

I almost turned it off because it felt like low quality AI content usually used to scam people for the first minute. Yeah, I wanna know a lot more about their process but, on the other hand, I don't think I need them to in order to replicate the results. They probably think they stumbled onto some great secret for air cooling and need to keep it close to the vest when anyone who has studied physics at the undergrad level can likely figure out for themselves whatever they are considering a 'trade secret', lol. Also, they claimed to have set a world record but provided zero proof. You need screen shots showing that you're number one, while logged into 3DMark under the same account you posted the result. Something tells me this is half BS. And the part that is BS is the part that sounds most impressive. They probably set a record for specific CPU/GPU combo and used an i3-10105 so they'd have zero competition. I've set a lot of 'records' this way using CPUs such as the i5 3570s where almost nobody has paired them with the modern GPU I'm benchmarking.

Thank you! Always learning and working hard to improve the videos.

I haven't even retired, yet. I can't wait!

Thank you! Welcome to NFC!

Thank you! Welcome to the channel!

It is very possible. A few companies out there do that and it appears to work well. I just didn't like the Volvo look of the original shroud.

Thank you for your continued support, brother!

@@nfcerick3634 Come. Now that you've finished this video, it is time to spread managed democracy!

Thank you, sir!

❤

Welcome to the channel! Thank you!

If you don't have one already, then you deserve one!

Exactly! "They" can do it, they just don't. I hope one day SFF is as popular and affordable as ATX.

Have to start from the bottom, but I’m glad you’re here!

Shunt mod

Yeah it’s a 6 pin but it can be done with just one cable. Not sure if that’s what you’re asking. Maybe Erick will chime in but if you watch the A2000ti video on our channel you can see video on how it’s wired up.

@@NotFromConcentrate Ive just never seen that mod before (with added power). I guess the shunt gives direct access to the powerplane on the PCB?

@@fVNzOit’s quite simple actually. The side from the shunt where they soldered the wire is the side that normally receives 12V power from the motherboard. By adding a cable there, it will draw current both from the motherboard and your cable in parallel. This means power draw will always be split 50/50 between PCIe slot and the cable so if you would shunt it so that it draws 100W it will pull 50W from motherboard and 50W from your cable.

@@LaurensVanWiele I see, that is very cool.

I agree. Josh is a legend in my book. We both greatly appreciate your support.

Thank you friend!
