Mem X is so slow.... Depends on the 3080.... the Strix cards are the unicorns.... none seep to exist... the Mem X I deal with seems to be getting 2-3 FTW3s every couple of days and the others trickle in as well.... This is for Calgary, AB

I have the Asus x570i and absolutely love it, currently its jammed into an NZXT H1 while I await my FormD T1 and new GPU....
Sorry I wont be much help with the DanCase, but as to the gpu... its a shit show still...
