LONG GRAPHICS CARD

THERE ARE SOME great deals to be had on RX 480s at the moment, and the Asus ROG Strix RX 480 8GB is a good example of what’s out there. This triple-fan card boasts higher clocks than the reference cards, but isn’t noisy under pressure, which is a boon. Its length can be a problem, though, and indeed wouldn’t quite fit inside the Antec P9 until we removed the middle drive bay—a ridiculously easy task that simply requires the releasing of one screw. Once removed, the card eases into place no problem, then it’s simply a case of connecting the power cable.
