High power GPU in node 304

mapegl · November 7, 2015

Does anybody have a high-TDP GPU with an open-air cooler in his/her node?

What exact chip and model do you have and what are temps under heavy load?

I wonder if the node has capabilities to take a 290 Trix and have decent temps.

I would look at the Core 500 instead of the Node 304.

Also both should be just fine.

I had a 280x club 3d in my node. Ran around 75 c

I really don't like the core 500. Ugly IMHO. But that's just me. I don'tont play as much anymore and want a case that is more subtle and small enough to not take away too much space. The node is fairly good looking I think. I am actually thinking about downgrading to get something suitable for me....
