[SOLVED] how does a MSI Trident X run with a RTX 3070 run?

[jtyankees2321]

I was thinking about purchasing this one in particular https://us-store.msi.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=657 but can't find any info on how the CPU/GPU temps are and how it just runs in general. also looking to see how loud it is

It's probably a bit hotter and a bit louder than a normal tower case, But I can be pretty confident when I say it's fine.

OK cool I appreciate it it's insane that there's like no information about this model with the RTX 3070. Every review talks about the RTX 2070 or 2080 so hopefully it works out pretty well

I'm still torn on what to do lol

The ownership reviews after a few months or so may actually be more trustworthy.
Problems seem to 'pop up' that won't be found in a review done on day one, or just done in a day - one of those common problems being temperatures.
A particular model could receive high praise from reviewers for having excellent thermals, but later, there's ownership reviews bashing it for terrible thermals, like the TIM dried up quickly or something.
Probably best to change the TIM with these things anyway, since the manufacturer sometimes misses the mark with the application or uses some crappy TIM.
[I'm using TIM here, because I've seen that some models also use liquid metal, and that's not the same as paste, but they're both Thermal Interface Materials.]

Yeah I think I worded it incorrectly I'm looking more for a user experience than an actual review but I still can't seem to find anyone who owns it already lol

Performance should be good, overall. The system should be capable of performing well for a few years.

In terms of upgrade-ability, it could have some limitations due to its size.

It's very fresh. You're going to have to give it a couple more months for the more critical owner reviews to pop up.
That, or volunteer to be one of the early adopters/reviewers...
