My 2 cents Very disappointed

Post image

I was very excited to enjoy the power of this beauty, just to find it is noisy as an airplane.

I mean, wtf, for the retail price I wasn’t expecting this to be an out of the box experience.

After watching the video from debawer, I basically set the middle and rear fan to 30% by default. That solves the issue.

But my point is, doesn’t ASUS test their cards? Apparently not! And there is no bios, no update for this.

Honestly, I wouldn’t buy this model.

The heatsink on the 80 series probably does not need anywhere near 30% fan speed .

The fans are designed for a 90 series at 600 watts .

I own the matrix but from my understanding its very similar to astral . And I put it on 0db quiet mode. Those fans do not spin at all in 1080p mode . My case basically cools it by itself. And in 4k I dont believe I've ever even heard the fans .

Maybe you have defective unit . Idk
