Tp4's take on dat edgerunner cybrsp1ne theme.
Had some doubts initially about the ID sizing, but it looks pretty decent after making spacers reverse wrapped around a calibrated pen tube..
They sell 2 kind of separators, smooth matte gloss, and sparkly glitter, the AN4 and below are glitter, too eye catching, so the AN6 are the only right ones to use here, they also make chrome, but they're not sold without special order, and you have to order 30+. AN6 is 13.8mm which is larger than most 12mm AIO tubes, that's why you need to make spacers.
It's tricky to pose the cable because you need it to twist just right to look flowing while floating above the GPU.
Then there's the separator spacing and quantity. In this case, thematically, 6x is the upper limit, it already looks crowded.
4x frames better in overall visual weight, but then breaks the theme, as it doesn't look like a spine. Spacing is using an even growth rate to look natural, perfect division looks terrible.

9070xt still very hard to find. hrrm..
tp4tissue:
Tp4 has figured out why virtually all other 7900xtx runs hotter than the sapphire model cooler.
Sapphire does not cool the vrm with the main heatsink. Their vrm is only attached to the aluminum mid-plate. The heatsink only touches the ram and core.

I think launch day was probably the best chance to get one sadly. the restock efforts have been fairly weak so far.
I ended up also picking up a 4070 ti super in white, to go along with the computer I bought. as much as I was liking the 4080 super FE, it's simply not a great value even at MSRP so I'll likely be letting go of it. I can still play my games at 4k with the 4070TiS on medium or high and it's a 16GB card, so should be good enough. Interesting thing I ran into is a bunch of driver related crashes when I used the latest nvidia driver while testing the setup last night. Had to use an old version from December and it seemed to fix things. Out of laziness, I still have my old AMD drivers and did not use DDU when rolling back to an earlier nvidia driver. oh well

It started to glitch out my older 1060 pc. I go to adjust desktop color settings in the control panel, and select pc graphics, and it stopped blackscreening.
But I don't have games on this pc, so idk if it still does that in games.
