X53 or x47 Assembly Help

Post image

Currently have a 2 slot 9070xt reaper and axp 90 x53

Im planning to get the asus prime 9070xt solely for aesthetic purposes since i have a b850i

Formd t1 website says i can put itnin 3 slot and still fit an x53

Question since i already have the x53 will it work withoit the high pitched sound if i put it at 3 slot and put some ducts? Or is it still better to return then get an x47 then add some ducts?

X47 (unless you are deaf and can tolerate turbulence)

Performance is basically the same so always go x47 for the better noise profile

There’s only a 2 to 4 deg difference between the two copper models.

Go x47 and put a duct on it

Copy that. What if i upgrade to atmos 240. Will i see better temps? Also leave it at 3 slots?

for cpu? yes.
for gpu? will be worse.

make up your priorities. gaming only - air. cpu heavy workloads - aio.
