The Poseidon is longer and fatter than my GTX 980 Hydro Copper cards. Ive had these installed since 2014:
Ive been with EVGA Hydro Copper since GTX 480. This is my first attempt at another brand (ASUS). One thing I do not like about the Poseidon so far is the G 1/4" threads are way too close to the pcb. So if you have a normal bitspower compression fitting (like I did), it will not fit directly onto the thread because the compression fittings are too wide. You will need to extend it out a bit. In my pics Im using 1 extension and some angled fittings.
Anyway, cant wait to go home from work today to try this card out
Would one of you all do me a favor and upload the posiden bios to techpowerup? Im running the XOC bios on air and while it can be done I want my fan speeds a little lower. Regardless if any one thinks it wont help with my strix OC I would still like to try it. Thank you
XOC is great but I am looking for a bios that can give me %130 TDP with out being fully unlocked for heat reasons. I belive I have tried them all except this one.
I doubt anyone who expects to actually acquire bitcoins would try mining with GPU cards vs. dedicated ASIC units nowadays.
However, mining ethereum and SIA and other less influential cryptocurrencies will likely remain popular due to their added versatility. With that being said, it seems like the go to Nvidia card is the 1070, and possibly later on with revisions/optimization to mining software, the 1060, for ethereum mining. The 1080s (especially the water cooled ones) have escaped some of the cryptocurrency fervor due to their relatively lower price to performance ratio in terms of processing power for mining.
With that being said, they are back in stock at Newegg and I have one on the way!
Now, I will have to figure out how to stuff that big boy into my Corsair 600T. I can't believe the thing is almost a foot long (insert 'That's what she said' jokes). Haha
What are your thoughts on which is better? I had heard that the copper piping is good on the Poseidon, but not as good of cooling as a proper custom waterblock. That said, the fans were a nice backup feature if something went wrong.
Which would you get, if you could do it over again (Aorus is about $10-$20 cheaper, not that it matters at this price point): the Aorus (with block installed) or the 1080 ti Poseidon?

I would have if i had seen this post but i've got it packed up ready to be returned now.
