Notes:
- Do you have any questions? Not all test results make it into the video to avoid clutter, so just ask if anything is unclear!
- Correction: The Gigabyte Gaming OC has two HDMI 2.1 ports and two DisplayPort 1.4 ports, not 3x DP 1.4 like I say in the video!
- Correction: the ROG Strix card also has two fan headers, hidden in the middle of the shroud. Hidden so well I didn't see it, and even ASUS marketing apparently didn't when they made the product website :D

Note for Seasonic owners / buyers:

If you currently own a Seasonic (PRIME, FOCUS or CORE, 650 Watts or more) PSU and buy an RTX 3070, 3080 or 3090 Founders Edition, you can ask for a free 12-pin cable to match your PSU. Do the following:
- Provide the serial number and a photo of the power supply rating label of their PRIME / FOCUS / CORE unit,
- Provide a proof of purchase and serial number of their RTX 30xx VGA card that uses the 12 Pin power connector.
- Use the 12P Cable Application form on the Seasonic website to send them the above details.
This is a limited time offer lasting until the end of this year and while supplies last.
