My beef with SLI is the added heat from a second card and not all games utilizing a dual GPU setup.

One thing I did in this build compared to my other is I front mounted the AIO this time instead of top mounted. Check this out for why~ 10C better processor temps in an open fan GPU environment! WOW! No change in reference style blowers, but this right here shows that you can offset any added internal case heat by configuring your build correctly. |

Even though it goes against every bone in my body, I'm half tempted to say **** it and make my next build, which is maybe 2 months down the road, an AMD build.
I would literally gain nothing by doing it. The sole reason would be just to give AMD a little more market share and hope the Ryzen chips age better as more games start to move towards more threads. Either way I doubt there would be any buyers remorse. I just have little faith in AMD's ability to keep up. |

I think Ryzen is really going to mature into a nice platform for AMD. I didn't feel super awed by the release at first, but I think the next reiterations and the maturation of software support is going to make it extremely competitive down the road. |

I really have no interest in Threadripper. It's more like r5 1600 or maybe r7 1700 if I just want to splurge for no reason at all vs Coffee Lake.
