The case actually has tempered glass over the sides, but yeah, it's an open case design. Those types of cases are becoming more popular. I think they look really nice, so that's why I went with one. Although, dust will be an issue, so you gotta use compressed air regularly. That's a bit of an annoyance, but I think the trade off is worth it.
Why FE cards though?Tomorrow I will put in the water and then do cable management
Edit: It looks like the left tube is a little off. I'm gonna fix that.
When the cards were first announced, the FE cards were the only ones you could preorder (I was anxious to get them on release date). Also, they were supposed to have the best chips, with nvidia carefully selecting them, and they came OC’d out of the box.
This gen of nvidia flag ship cards are the best binned compared to AIB's.
one thing I'll always give them great customer service. Asus always sent me back refurbished shyt.

Check your temps and update drivers if you haven't
I hope you got a good deal cause those seem like lateral upgrades. I mean they're better but I'm not really sure how measurable that better will be for you. You could have went to a 7700K and that would have been barely better than what you had in most cases. Then again I shouldn't talk going from a 6700K to a 9900K. Did move that 6700K to replace a 3570K though.
Still crashing drivers are updated and temps seem to be normal
Try updating your bios and do a fresh install of the gpu driver (don't do the quick install, do that clean install, where it deletes all remnants of the older driver before installing the new one). Since you have a new chip, perhaps it has to do with your mobo. If that doesn't work, test your components, and fresh install if you nothing else works.So this is what's been happening...I've been trying to play through Doom (2016) again. The game is crashing to the desktop without any errors. Seems like the game itself has had these problems since release. I've already beat the game before and never had these issues. I've been trying to pinpoint a problem. I did have NBA 2k19 and Max Payne 3 freeze on me as well. Those games haven't given me any trouble since then. Doom 2016 is still crashing though and it sucks because it's one of my favorite PC games. Bring on Doom Eternal...
