Overview

As soon as I saw Noctua's announcement about a partnership with Asus to make a GPU, I knew I had to get one because I had been wanting to do a Noctua build for quite some time. Unfortunately, scarce availability and inflated pricing made it impossible to buy one, but I was incredibly fortunate to take advantage of a local trade and the rest is history.

The build is everything I had hoped for and more. I love the simple aesthetic of the case and it feels so good to have low temps with a low RPM custom fan curve. Gaming performance at 1080p/144Hz surpasses expectations. I will be pleased for years to come!

My PBO settings are an all-core negative 30 voltage curve and limits of 100 PPT, 80 TDC, and 100 EDC.

Take a look at my matching Noctua themed keyboard based on the KBDfans Tiger Lite or check out my other builds, Goldilocks and Mini Mesh Box!
