When it burst into flames because of the cable catching fire, you’ll be sure it will be the most expensive fire you have produced in your life.

Asus is an absolute joke with the pricing of their cards atm. I’m actually considering a PNY 5090 for $2400, doubt the price will get much better than that anytime soon unless I lucked out and found an FE in stock.

The Astral is (AFAIK) the only card that has per pin monitoring. Whether that’s worth the premium and risk of using Asus is up to you. For me, I’d rather burn my house down.

The Astral monitors the current of every pin in the connector and tells you when it starts pulling over 10 amps on a single pin to help prevent connector fires.

You get the pleasure of using armory crate. It’s simply the best. 🙂
