I think I had that cooler on a 7900GT :toast:

de.das.dude · Feb 11, 2022

got a couple of these spinny bois

Kovoet · Feb 11, 2022

To replace the 120's at the bottom of my case.
Now if Corsair could just hurry up and get the LCD upgrade kits for my cooler then my case is complete

I presume you got those simply because you wanted more RGB?

Kovoet · Feb 11, 2022

LOL I take my watch off when on the PC. I keep my colours always static on everything. If I choice I'd have no RGB

That was just how the site auto cropped the picture because I quoted you...

I meant the fans, since they're apparently not that great due to the actual fans being slightly smaller, as the RGB ring takes up some of the space the fan blades would normally use.

My wife loves The Witcher and my 2020 Secret Labs Titan so naturally I had to get her this. Not gonna lie a little jealous :laugh:

They're not that compromised in reality and do ok plus he's on 140's.

I have 7 of the 120s they are pretty bad depending on how you use them fine as case fans though. I wouldn't use them on a radiator as they perform worse than the LL variant that already didn't perform that well due to the smaller fan as the @TheLostSwede was saying.

I am using LL fans on my top radiator, they are not the best for a rad, and will be probably changing them for vardars.

For your use case with a custom loop where you can control the flow and other variables they are probably ok. The Vardars are solid performance wise but them being pretty loud kills them for me I'd personally stick to the LL over them. A couple c ain't worth my stuff sounding like its about to take off into space....

I didn't realise vardars are pretty loud, shame as they look pretty good. I don't have the LL's on max rpm they are set with a ramp in the bios.

That does seem pretty neat but some people are probably gonna think you bought a case given the cost :laugh:

Closest thing i could get that works with this Enthoo 2. Couldnt find a company that makes a combo distro & pump specifically for it.

You already got a custom loop? DOH you have looked at specs.

Did have a quick google, there are no plates for that case with pump, weird.

Did you get the 5 pack? it comes with a somewhat decent ARGB+Fan controller.

That should be much better, specially with the D5 on it.

Getting one of these at weekend, not exactly new but it does have a proper Gsync module in it for 1440/144hz

Once the Mrs releases the funds I do want the Lian Li fans but these will be suffice as they fill the hole at the bottom of my Corsair 680x case. But but my temps are ok at the moment with them.

I have the 4K version and I'm not over the moon with Asus displays. Have had three panel swaps, one because they messed up and got dust behind the replacement panel.
It's also been a bit glitchy from time to time, so be aware that there might be some issues, although hopefully less so on the 1440p models.

I have the QR version in storage and honestly it is pretty great holds up really well to my LG GN850 when looking at both from a normal sitting distance. Assuming in 2022 you got it really cheap its a great monitor.

Not sure they are all that comparable pretty sure the 4k TN model they made back then used a much different panel.
