Is a GPU useful

for anything besides playing videogames for the vast majority of people? Don't get me wrong, I think they're cool technology and like video games as much as the next guy, but $800-1000 for a fucking vidya toy? Not even including the rest of the fucking computer? No thanks. How the hell can anyone even justify that?

welp, massive parralelism.
its useful in breaking encryption and ai for starters. also mining.

also graphics-related stuff, obviously

Yes, GPUs are heavily used nowadays in 3D rendering for movies, architectural visualization, etc. In fact they benefit more from powerful GPUs than games do.

Take the GPU out and find out.

What's the point in having the CPU AIO radiator on the front intake instead of the top exhaust? Aren't you just blowing hot air back into the chassis?

it's a 280mm and that's the only place it fits in that case

CUDA, Tensor, 3D rendering, NVENC (video encoding/decoding), CAD. Etc, etc.
If anything that's their main purpose and they were used for it decades before they were used for games. We're just lucky we got to cut some slack.

I see mounting options on the top. Swap them out, top exhaust with rad, front intake, back exhaust.

I read the manual for the case and the front is the only place that fits a 280. 240 and 360 will fit up top. I'd rather have it up top of course.

Good AiO.

post your gpu it looks cool

nice looking PC buddy. What's that card at the very bottom? Isn't it blocking a lot of the case I/O stuff?

>Aren't you just blowing hot air back into the chassis?
meme
you're blowing warm air instead of hot air
air is better than no air, warm or cold, the goal is to transfer heat.

Just a de-shrouded 2070S.

Thank you.

An older PCIe sound card. You mean motherboard I/O? That's all under or behind the card, no conflict.

looks really clean, most deshrouds look like shit with wires and zip ties

Thanks, the fan cables are tied up on the other side to not dangle around, but you can't see that.

cute kitter cater

Cloth tape. Just used it to hide ugly sections/cables or bind cables. Like to get the sound card PCIe power cable in shape, I put copper wire into it and then wrapped it all with the tape or the PCIe power connectors for the GPU, one was dual 8pin and the other 6+2pin, I cut off the other connectors and terminated the wires and then used the tape to hide the cuts. Got several pairs of those Seasonic modular cables so no biggie.

Thanks.

He didnt chose that hardware based on logic, he chose it because of looks and reddit upboats
