IntelGaming over at Twitter shared a photo of the first ever Arc powered PC build that was live streamed over at Twitch. This PC features the following specs
CPU: i9-12900K Mobo: Strix Z690-EGPU: Intel Arc A770 SSD: Intel 660p NVMe RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 Case: ASUS TUF Gaming GT501 Cooler: Noctua NH-U12APSU: SuperNOVA 1000 G6
The A770 In All Its Beauty
One of the most important highlights is the Arc A770 from Intel. The Founders Edition (FE) design features a beautiful blue design as an embodiment for Intel’s theme. To comply with the modern designing standards, RGB is included, lighting up the ‘intel ARC‘ logo. The intricate shroud design leaves no room for error in both thermals and beauty. A simplistic yet professional approach has been taken by team blue. A black-themed shroud with the Intel logo paired with their trademark colouring slapped on, indeed makes for an interesting design choice. For thermals, two fans with a slight sprinkle of RGB have been used. The overall dark blue light from the PC reflecting off the GPU embellishes the look of the A770.
The Packaging
On unpacking the box, you will be greeted with the beautiful GPU in an upright position. Above the GPU, you will find the official documentation for Intel’s Arc A770 titled as ‘Let’s Play‘.
A770’s Specifications
