Thanks I couldn't hold out for Vega any longer so this was a good deal at the price I bought it for. Palit are a very good brand and Gainward are their "sister" company. I'm looking forward to getting this tomorrow then sell my Vapor X and buy a waterblock for it ^_^ Props goes to Bonkersmental for linking the e-tailer that had this card at a very cheap price. I have bought from the e-tailer before so no worries with them

Then please give a review of the noise. We have thought about it for a long time. As our current "night" fan is quite noisy

A 5M Displayport cable and 5M 3 pin power cable from Amazon so I can neatly route my monitors cables along the desk mount arm

I ordered a RhinoShield crash guard for my S8+. It should give it a little more protection, without the bulk of a case and ruining the looks.

Nothing wrong with Palit Jetstreams. I had two 670s. Fans make a horrible whirring sound at full pelt, but I had mine in SLi.
Had a think about it last night and I am not upgrading my GPU yet. 1080 does not provide enough performance for the cash it would cost, 1080Ti is lolprice and Vega is miles off.

Palit Jestreams are usually really, really good, yeah. Congrats on the new 1080!
BigDaddyKong, I finally bought a case for my HTC 10. It's the Diztronic TPU case. I dig it a lot. I wish I'd bought it sooner.

It's quite hard and I did put my iPhone on eBay for a while but came to my senses and took it off. The Samsung is way prettier but I still love iPhone and without it my Apple Watch S2 becomes pretty useless as well as my iTunes collection.

It's amazing how many fittings/stuff you need to do something simple like a drain plug tbh. It works out bloody costly !
For me to add a fill port to my rig I had to use four Bitspower fittings and a Bitspower fill port. At full retail price that's like £100 plus the tubing ffs. Nuts !!
Not bothered with a drain port. It's very easy just to remove the CPU block (four screws) and stick a bucket under it.

Aye W/C fittings are one of if not the singularly most over-priced over-margined component in any loop, they cost pence to make and they charge the earth for them.. I'm amazed people still put up with the BS prices tbh.

TBH I would rather spend the extra £22 that it cost me to add a drain valve to the loop it just makes things easier, however I do agree with both of you that the prices are stupid. Now I have "well in different terms want" to buy a GPU Block and backplate £130 and then another 240mm radiator @£50 approx. but thats my hobby

You're going to hate me for this but recently a guy on another forum was selling a Bitspower 1080 block and back plate brand new never opened. It went for £45.
I was tempted to buy it myself, but I knew I would then have to buy a 1080 and I'm not sure I wanted to go that way.

Thats ok mate not sure if it would have fitted my 1080 as its AIB not FE. The Palit Jetstream, Gamerock, and the Gainward GLH all use the same pcb and cooler just different colours. The only difference between all the cards are a different BIOS and the Gainwards are binned

I have a decent collection of DVD's and Blu-ray's, but I have barely any limited editions or steelbooks. They're usually prohibitively expensive so I never bought them. The whole concept of paying over double for the same film is kind of weird to me. Still, I've always wanted Assault on Precinct 13 (original version) on Blu-ray and the £25 limited edition version looked too sweet to ignore.
I also bought a wallet to replace my leather one.
