Will keep my Motherboard until it dies, been 5 years already.. 5 more wouldn't hurt, eh?

Yeah, myself was thinking of something of the Z77 Thermal Armor If I could find any such to buy and just attatch to my current board

Myeah, I guess.. Well, damn.. Or else I just try make something that I can just screw onto the screw sockets and what not, to cover the awful brown looking base.:S

If it was that easy, eh?..

Hello! Was wondering if it is possible to buy Motherboard armour, and use it on the ASUS P8Z77-V LX Like from them Sabertooth series, or Gryphon armour or what ever it is called? Or are those only for those kind of motherboards? Just to cover out the older looking stuff on my current board.

Yeah, aiming for the 1070, but depends on my brother if he wants to buy me 970 or not, as I sell it to him 100 euros cheaper, as it is 260 from the PC vendors around. But also, unsure about my motherboard and CPU itself. Quite old ones, just hopefully they last like, for longer time, not sure how well they do with the new GPUs!

What I thought, as most say, go for better single GPU.

I guess, but my experience with ASUS have been well though! And kinda fits my ASUS theme for it all But yeah, might go with 1070 if my brother buys my 970, as it costs 280 in store, I sell it for 150 to him.. So that will ease his 760 some, and me being more future proof!

Yeah, and while the RX 480 already rests at 300 euros, them better cooling ones will most likely cost even more so it'd be eaither 530 or 680 So might go for the STRIX 1070 after this month! If my brother still be interested in buying my 970. Unless 970 and 1070 is able to work together, though, that might be waste, as the 1070 will run down to the speed of 970 I think.

Yeah, but also, I would not buy a single 480, would Crossfire them in that case! Or but I do not like the heat output that we see on those 480 reference cards!

Well, was not single 480, would be two of them in that case!

Reference card rests at 499 Euros.

Yeah, but quite expensive at 530 euros!

Looking at the STRIX of course that is. If I'd buy 1070.

Hewo~.. Recently been browsing, and well.. I plan to sell my 970 to my brother meanwhile I can upgrade into eaither Crossfire 480 RX or a 1070, but not sure. Since my main monitor is 144, and only seen HDMI on the AMD card, yet this might be delayed until August, to see the other coolers instead of reference cards of the 480 at first! But I've seen Nvidia as always being the more, long lasting card and such due to my bad past with AMD cards before! Had a 7970 Powercolor, that died 2 months after I bought it sadly! And had several blue screens while playing! I do play some of the modern games but most be released next year that I got my eyes on. Advisors, ADVISE me!
