Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

I was waiting for a long time, at the beginning the prices at the start seemed too high, then I waited for the miners and outbids to calm down. As a result, I waited for well-known events, I decided to order immediately. While the order was moving from a warehouse from another city, prices began to rise, I was worried that the seller would cheat and cancel the unpaid order, as I had already done a couple of times. But no, it came at the old price. Now, at the time of writing the review, FB costs two (sometimes more than) times more expensive than I took.
After listening to the howl of cooling, I switched to a quiet BIOS, on it the fans start spinning much later and in real tasks they no longer stick out against the background of the processor. In a loud BIOS, the temperature in FurMark reached 56 degrees (but at what cost), in a quiet 80. In games, of course, it doesn’t come close to this. In Cyberpunk 1.50, when monitoring GPU load is close to 100%, there were no higher than 72 degrees. And about punk. For stable 60fps in FHD on ultra settings with RTX, you will definitely need to enable DLSS. I didn’t notice any visible deterioration from DLSS in the picture, and this pleases me. But for example, in WOW at maximum speed, FB works in rest mode. They even brought RTX there, in fact, the shadows just look different. Who needs shadows in an MMORPG?! :)

Pros

Due to the peculiarities of my PC case, the length of the video card up to 270mm is automatically credited to it). But even for such not very long video cards, the far edge can sag, sometimes up to 1 cm. I usually hang it on a screed, measuring it out with a ruler. This one has a rather rigid body - practically does not sag. Well done. Two BIOSes is an interesting idea.

Cons

Just these innovative fans of theirs. Designers can be as choosy as they want with the shape of the blades and the type of bearings, but in our time you can’t get rid of the roar of the fan motor once and for all - what’s the deal ?! This affects half of all fan models on the market, even expensive ones. With this VC, the rumble is very audible at 1000+ rpm, adding annoying humming notes to the inevitable aerodynamic noise. For example, dual-fan ASUS GTX1070/60 do not have such a rumble. There is an engineering regression. There is not enough connector priority designation (however, I didn’t see it anywhere), I had to select it by poking so that POST was displayed on the main screen.
