I don't think they solved the smelly nerd problem. Replacing the scent cartridge requires disassembling the card. For someone who can't be bothered to shower, how do they expect their users to do this to smell nice?
- They missed a huge opportunity to not make them hot swappable and brand them after manly names for the western market. If I'm choosing between a boring video card or a version that dispenses black ice smell its not even a choice.
  
  This OEM puts Waifus on their GPUs:
The Gamers Nexus team conducted a sniff test of the fragrance module using different noses. The general consensus was that it smells like a car air freshener, a free perfume sample kiosk from a mall, clean laundry, perfume, and fabric softener.
Not a word about an "ocean-thrmed" fragrance or a "more floral scent" as described by the OEM.
