ekio Quality Control issue on a $4000 card ? :LOL: How much we need to pay to deserve a minimum of respect ? Reply
uplink-svk This is actually Asus' standard MO. I've had all Matrix cards in the last 5 years, and they were all a flop, people just don't talk about it at all. 4090 had terrible pump noise, I've had two units, both suffered the same defect. https://photos.app.goo.gl/BLXvMxczUqxCYax26 And 2080Ti didn't work as intended. Had worse temps than basic Strix Air. https://photos.app.goo.gl/hqHdDUd1dajScTgLA Reply

LM gives diminishing returns on aircooling. It gives literally few degrees Celius down, absolutely not worth it. I've used LM for over a decade and a half now, then I completely switched to graphene pads and now I switch between graphene pads on high pressure heatsink/cooler devices and PTM on mid to low such as lightweight notebooks. LM is a bad joke. Both Sony and Asus should know by now. PTM and Graphene Pads rule supreme. LM is great for direct die Liquid Cooling, alas it deteriorates after 2 years or less, so having it in PS5 is a really bad move. Only when the seal is superb and gasket around APU flawless one can hope for 3 – 5 years due to lower oxidation and drying out of LM. Also LM damages contact area of the surface of copper coolers and more. Reply
