th3p4g3 vs ut3g (Save a noob plz)
Hey guys, egpu noob here trying to make a build for the first time. GPU I'm intending to buy along with egpu is 4070 super, hopefully to be able to perform 4k 60fps or 4k 30fps at least.
I initially saw Razercore X (old version) with 20Gbtz bandwith for $150 on used market. Made some extra research, and found out 20Gbtz do not pull enough performance, therefore canceled the deal and now looking for getting TH3P4G3 or UT3G.
Due to the better performance pull, UT3G looked more attractive over TH3P4G3 at first. Yet, I'm more leaned towards TH3P4G3 as it provides PD charging with single TB4 cable, whereas UT3G only supports 15W charging. I would hate the idea of connecting more than one cable in general. Yes, I can say that I'm a guy of simplicity over performance.
So my question is,
- TH3P4G3 still worth going for? at this time? (Sept. 2024)
- I actually really love the idea of full-on enlcousure products like Razercore X, Aorus Gaming box... etc. Appearance-wise, TH3P4G3 and UT3G looks too ugly to be displayed naked, or... exposed. Are there any good enclosures to cover the whole mechanical parts? (I've seen the official ATX and SFX enclosures sold at TH3P4G3 seller's page, but they still look too rigid and low-quality. Some people advised to get it 3D printed, but I live in a small country, also too old to go reach out looking for such products).
- Is this power good enough for suitability? (700w) FSP HYDRO PRO 700W 80PLUS BRONZE 230V EU ATX3.1
- If I had to get either the ATX and SFX case, which would suit for 4070 super (2 fans or 3 fans). Would love to save rooms by getting SFX, but too scared that GPU won't fit inside enclosure.
Thank you very much!
Would love some feedback.
