That exposed fins on the packplate looks bad. Full cover gigabyte.

if you're trolling you got me I'm triggered 😉 they obviously did that for better cooling personal tip : 2 years ago bought two of those Ikea Alex 9 drawers and put my pcs on on of them, best decision ever my room is a dust sucking vacuum and I barely have any dust in my cases now (all intake have filters obviously) but still placing them higher than your desk is something I would not go back from noise is also better as long as you have minimal or full-on liquid cooling but then if your pc is all air cooled placing it lower makes things even worse dust-wise

Undying:

Interesting. I guess it has a purpose but it still looks bad dont you think?
Its not pretty in the photo but it wont look like that in your case, studio camera lighting to show defects is meant to highlight everything. I would never see it with my setup.

It's like with the 3090... when you spend that much on a gpu in the first place, why go cheap and get the discount model? Might aswell spent a bit more and get one of the good versions (aka strix or suprim)

wow, almost half of KW power just for GPU. Very expensive space heater. Oh and you can play some games too

It does look ugly with that large hole in the backplate compared to my Gigabyte 3090 OC but the cooling seems to benefit so no one will care about the looks.

I concur, I fabbed up a skeletonised platform to mount my pc about 15cm off the ground, even with the airflow configured to suck in through the front, blow out through the top/back and no mesh on the top there is only minimal dust in the case despite years of neglect
