I understand.

I've not seen this cooling framework before, which is semi-odd, but I've developed an appreciation for Zotac, MSI and ASUS with their customizations.

Don't expect cheapness, which you really shouldn't, but expect a ball busting performance for the enthusiast that cba with making all the shizzle themselves.
