Just curious, tons of info on the Strix not so much on the Poseidon. 

 

anyone have either which do you prefer? having a built in water cooling block seems to be a huge bonus, but not enough info to confirm if its good or not

if it dosent by deafult you can always load on a custom BIOS on it that allows for that

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Yes the fans will still spin, but you can put them on the lowes setting with MSI afterburner
