Who else is looking forward to Cryorig's Ola case?

Hardware Hub Build a PC
1

I am looking forward to building my build at either the end of the year or next year. I kind of want to make a compact build that is a powerhouse. One of my friends is a Mac person... He adores the aesthetic appeal of the Mac Pro. I want to build something that makes it look like a cotton gin. I am thinking, by the time the case releases, about putting a AMD zen processor onto a mini itx board. Hopefully, by then they will also have a gtx 1080 ti released as well. (I know that combining the zen processor and gtx 1080 ti sounds like sorcery.)

I'd like to hear other community members ideas for this case.

I sense high tempatures and high costs in your future

I want it.. though the problem is my preference is AMD and AMD doesn't like giving us blower-style coolers.

They've had blower coolers for like ever though

5

No... Sounds like atrocity. Monstrosity.

I hope that the lower (supposed) power draw of the zen processor is 95w. It might create less heat. AMD hasn't been known for making cool running products, but maybe this generation will be the unicorn...

like I said.. they don't like giving us blower style coolers.. the only GPU that had one available and that was WAAAY later was the R9-390.. which is a overheating monstrosity. a blower style for the 380 or the 370.

And with the 200 series only the 290 and the 290x had readily available blower style coolers available..

AMD should give us one for Polaris since it's so efficient.

I think that's mostly due to the heat issues ya, the RX 480 and 470 will have blower coolers though

9

They have 65W APUs, and Bristol Ridge should be pretty efficient

eh I wouldn't be so sure. AMD sent Austin Evans a blower style R9-270x back when the 200 series launched.. it never came to market for consumers though.

I would like the decent blower stile cooler from AMD. No matter i have great airflow in my case... The blower style may keep the GPU slightly warmer, but it keeps everything else slightly cooler...

12

I want the big daddy though. Summit Ridge could be a cost effective solution. If AMD can hit a decent IPC target, it might be the alternative to Intel's 8 core I7.

13

All they really have to do is charge less than $1k for the 16 thread CPU

14

hmmmm kinda looks like a trash can.


15

yeah but for a case like this which doesn't have the greatest airflow. something like a blower style is required.

16

If you ever seen the mac pro case. that was it was called in the beginning...

17

It would be a glorious day for all of us. AMD could sing songs of rejoice against Intel.

so? because the first cloud looks like a dog the second cloud can not also look like a dog? there are dogs in the sky i promise.

I know airflow is an important factor. If it is a well designed case, it will have decent enough airflow. The only thing I am waiting for is the official specs on the GP102's. If they are longer cards, this case may become an issue. I am hoping they will be roughly the same size as a gtx 1080.

I was just making the point.
