Which 1660 Super's model is the best for noise/temps?

[Neymus]

Everything is in the title, money isn't a problem but I prefer not to spend a lot for the GPU since it's almost the same.

Normally ASUS Strix, but tbh just get cheapest or if u care that much about temps and noise get a cheap 1660ti super and underclock it or something.

 

I say the second part just to make others happy personally i always go rog strix and vertical mount ;;)

I can't find an asus strix model... In my country at least. Also, I plan to overclock it, that's why the temps must be low, noise isn't a major problem to be honest, it'd be just better.

Oh and also, design doesn't matter. I don't have a windowed side panel.

ahh yes i see that there isnt one yet i was looking at normal 1660, supers are new so im assuming they haven't made one yet if they bother.

 

personally i would go rx 5700 (xt) are those a viable option and is there any around?

seriously though just buying a cheaper better card will be better than buying a high end lesser card and ocing it if you dont care about noise and aesthetics.

I've considered the rx 5700 yes, but the problem is my PSU (a bronze be quiet system power 9 500W), I'm not sure if it will crash or not, so I'm going by the safe option.

Would you recommend me a cheap 1660 Super model in particular? I've seen that Zotac makes good cards for a low price, do you know if that's true or if there's a better option?

unless your CPU is a 9700K or 3900X, RX 5700 is no problem

that should be ok unless as stated above, but even so, i think your still better off buying a better power supply and a gpu rather than just getting a high end 1660 super.

I prefer taking a 1660 Super to save some money, then I can upgrade to a RTX 2060/RX 5700. That's also my first build, I think I'll be ok with a 1660 Super, but if the prices go down with sales I'll take a better GPU.

But yeah okay, I'm getting a cheap model like a Zotac, got it.
