Ive decided to go with the corsair link cooling and lighting unit for my fan control and lighting for build instead of using the bitfenix led light strips. Does anyone have any experience with these, the corsair link anyway?

Its actually not that loud, a friend of mine has one and he has the same case as me, he will typically keep the fan speed around 50% and I couldnt hear it over the sound of the fans in his computer.

She's definitely a keeper.

 

Beautiful card, though. I always loved the blower style Nvidia cards has. That's basically won me over when I considered an R9 290, haha!

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.
