Posted January 12, 2016 I want to get an R9 380 that suits the black and blue theme (So no MSI GPU :'( Unless painting shrouds doesnt cancel the warranty).

Posted January 12, 2016 Get a Sapphire, it's all black. Want MSI? Using plasti-dip on the shroud won't void the warranty, but taking the heat sink off to do it does I think. Sapphire or XFX from me. Just don't get Gigabyte lol. I used to be quite active here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 12, 2016 get Sapphire Nitro it's subtle dark gray/almost black, XFX makes Black and add some blue or white LED also Kingston HyperX Fury RAM comes in Blue, since you'll most likely end up with Black GPU, might want to try that Blue Fury RAM or get 2 Black / 2 Blue sticks it really makes it look dope CPU: Intel i7 5820K @ 4.20 GHz | Motherboard: MSI X99S SLI PLUS | RAM: Corsair LPX 16GB DDR4 @ 2666MHz | GPU: Sapphire R9 Fury (x2 CrossFire)Storage: Samsung 950Pro 512GB // OCZ Vector150 240GB // Seagate 1TB | PSU: Seasonic 1050 Snow Silent | Case: NZXT H440 | Cooling: Nepton 240MFireStrike // Extreme // Ultra // 8K // 16K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
