#5000D AIRFLOW PRICE DRIVER#
You know, the weirdest thing, ever since this new card (unless it was the most recent driver or Windows update), Windows 10 is treating the Alienware AW3423DW as still connected even when off, connected via Displayport. I can imagine a ton of folks will be returning these things or at the very least running their desktops with the side panel off. I would not feel comfortable with that much tension on those teeny tiny 16 pins. I'm actually kind of surprised Nvidia was able to launch this card since it really pushes the ATX form factor envelope. If you jump through the mental gymnastics, (RTX Titan was $2,500, RTX 3090Ti was $2,000 this is only $1800 and is sooooo much better), it can even be portrayed as a good deal, HA! Dear god what has this hobby become. Not to mention it's roughly $1800 in the US after tax. The card uses more power than an entire desktop machine, just for the GPU. In the span of about 20 years we went from a single slot GPU to a quad slot, power hungry nightmare.

Who would have guessed that when the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro introduced the floppy drive power connector that it would devolve into the hideous monstrosities we are seeing late 2022. It seems we are long gone from the days of a quick expansion card install.
Great write up and thorough pictorial, I think a lot of people could benefit from this as people really lack the Geo-spacial awareness to imagine this behemoth in the flesh. So I got the fans that come with the X, plus I can switch between glass and mesh depending on the usage. I have the Cablemod 12-pin cable on order, plus I'll get the 90 degree adapter as soon as it is available.Ĭase is the 4000X, I just bought the mesh grill from Corsair for $5 later. At least all that space around the 3090 is being used. Upgrading from an EVGA 3090 XC3, one of the smaller 3090 cards. Blends well with the motherboard and gray accents of the 4000X case. I agree on the fan area, but I do like the minimal look of the silver/gray backplate and side. This card is considered one of the ugliest, or cheapest, looking cards due to the basic black plastic fan shroud.

Despite that just being under what even Cablemod recommends for their own flexible 12-pin cable, I didn't have to force bending the stock cable much at all.įurther down you'll see how the support bracket install onto the motherboard turned out.
The Gigabyte card sticks out 1.5inches, leaving only 1.5inches for the power cable. The 4000X has about 3 inches from the PCIe bracket to the glass panel.
Length wasn't going to be a problem, but I was concerned with the space between the GPU and Glass Panel. At the time, I did not realize it gives the giant Strix a run for its money in size. Not wanting to leave empty handed, as the FE could be a unicorn, I ordered the Gigabyte 4090 Gaming OC. After waiting too long for the FE, everything was just about sold out. I was aiming for the Founders Edition on launch, but we know how that went. Pick-up was scheduled for 17th, but was ready on the 15th. Purchased from Best Buy around 6 AM on October 12. Hopefully this helps anyone looking at the Gigabyte 4090 Gaming OC and how the Corsair 4000X / 4000D will handle it.įirst, take how big you think these cards are in photos, then make them 20% bigger when you see them in real life.
