Is this a good pc for league of legends in 1080p

Yup, very very beefy heatsink, has a few heatpipes and sizzle, it cools better than a XFX DD, sapphire something custom and MY GOD, NON BLOWER REFERENCE IS SO FUCKING LOUD (and hot)! it's like a 20cm by 20cm  block of heatsink/metal, nothing special, cooled by a single 80mm fan that ramps up to 4600rpm (95%) to keep it at a cool 88C  

That's cause you are mining. Easy. Anyway, Blower cards are less likely to kill cheap crap like the VS

still, gaming still ramps it up to 90% fan speed for 92C...don't understand how it's better...

I am derailing this ever so slightly...in my defense, I brought up how I was mining with a W1 430W psu...which spurred on this conversation

Easy - mining destroys a GPU via forcing more power through it than it was meant to handle - the same way Furmark kills cards

I know but my point still is why would AMD have 2 different reference cards?

Spoiler

I really wonder whether the blower or the shitty more suitable for a 120W and lower GPU cooler would be better  (it's half as small as the blower heatsink basically), understand my point? Didn't realise how small amount of metal is used to cool the 175-200W GPU till I picked it up...may as well be a paper weight as it's able to not sag without  screwing it into the case properly ), also 5% lower fan speeds with it running a few degrees hotter (while been repasted 3 times trying to decrease temps...) during gaming is not better than what it is mining

2nd is not a reference 7950 cooler. That is a custom-reference design

Thank you all

Well it was designed before the 7950/7970 was released...so basically every AIB sold it as well so close enough to being a reference? Plus, no AIB really sold the reference blower card so back then, with the community I was in, we just referred it as the useless reference and blower

Acousticly optimised my fucking ass  (that's what it was called...a 9cm by 9cm heatsink (my brain stopped working when I said 20cm by 20cm when I know the fan is only 8cm in diameter) with a vapor chamber that can't cool for shizzle...).

Sorry for hijacking your thread slightly  Good luck with your build , it should run League perfectly fine at 1080p and other games at 1080p although at low/very low settings (depending on the game)

I think it might be a OEM thing - like the 760 Ti and that crap cooler

Probably, I don't understand how this cooler got past any one with a brain...17C ambient (miner sits 10 cm from open window so there's always cool air) at 90% fan speed (4600rpm) and 92C playing CS is not acceptable...I'm going to stop ranting as I bought the card for 40 quid  (made it's cost back in 3 weeks worth of mining so you know ) but it's really annoying when you have to sleep with it in your room...

Keep in mind - after running an hour of Furmark testing on my 280 my temps increased by 3*C permanently - I was getting 67 before and now get 70 - even after cleaning and in the same exact situation

system should work fine for league of legends. I would recommend going with a micro atx sized case though. A midtower with a build like that is kind of a waste of space imo. Doesn't really effect performance at all, but it is something to think about.
