    very tight fit for the gpu, the power connector position just nicely there to plug in two 8pin pcie..but overall a very fast silent for gaming and everything and i am proud of myself building it :mrgreen:

    Not really overkill considering the kid (14 years old) wana play the latest title like watch dog and wolfenstein :mrgreen:

    Because the laptop kaput i need to build this rather hurry so instead wasting more time ordering parts i have to choose whats available. From the price quotes i choose the reasonable parts reducing from around RM4.5K to now final spec RM4090.

    Not bad considering my sis wana buy a 15inch macbook for RM6K just because it look nice.

    i read in USofA many got their warranty rejected even a scratch is not the fault and not cause by user they still deny the RMA, many just not happy haha

    a week++ the kid is happy gaming it away..im quite proud of myself building the kinda awesome rig for him :haha:

    If Asus create an expensive so-called reliable line up, and they are still not able to honor warranty, then I think it's really FOS to provide longer warranty on their products.

    Yeah, a long warranty is useless if they are not sincere...
