Your PC ATM

Have you thought about re-routing that PCI-E power cable? It would most definitely cover up the RTX logo but it might end up looking cleaner.
I did that the raw way with my old Phanteks P400S, I just used metal cutters to make a PCIe power cable hole in the shroud..

Nah, it's not like I ever see what's inside anyway (the old school kb/mouse drawer hides it from sight).
 
Did some much needed cable tidying for a case that has zero cable management.and finally got as close as I’m going to get to everything matching blue. I really don’t understand why this board is so weak with the RAM RGB. I even tried Gskils own program with the sane results. Regardless updated specs are in my profile I’m still quite pleased with the final product.

Update of how my PC was last time it was together. I'm very undecided and it lasted a whopping week like this. I'm now in the middle of a new build in another case. I'll post pics of that once it's up and running.

How the new build sits for now. Waiting on some more fittings to finish the tube run. Dual loop in this case with such a long video card is easier said than done :roll:

Yeah boiii, changed my motherboard.

Here is my current setup. Not really enough space to fit fans on the roof panel without remounting the cooler to be offset down, which just wastes thermal paste, nor does the system run any hotter with fans there or not (I can squeeze them in but there is a risk of collision with the NHD15S's fan clip), so I blocked off the front-most roof position to ensure air moves straight to the cooler from the front intake.
I am sure there are people out there that would rage about the orange fans, ha. Why must everything non-RGB be monochromatic these days? The EATX board is also extra long so the useless 120mm side intake fans were removed as well.

Looks like my gpu. Is that the 3060 xc gaming ?
 
Looks like my case. 4000d airflow ? :rockout:

On the other hand, followed Frizz's advice and tried to tidy up the atx and usb cable a bit more and straightened the bottom led out.

Yup, paid 72,90EUR last year when it was in sale. Today's price is 60EUR higher at 132,90EUR :laugh: pretty good case, even being the cheapest of the x000D lineup.
 
Noctua Industrial 4 Life! okay I have a couple 92mm Redux but it was a hard size to find but Industrials eveywhere else :love:

I really like the Redux series. 90% (or better, depending on your metric) of the performance of the mainline parts for 60% of the cost. Haven't tried Industrials.
 
Haven't tried Industrials.
They can move a ton of air, and they can be pretty rowdy. Or you can tame them with limits, and can be relatively well behaved.

I have only used 120mm and 80mm Redux. 80mm are excellent fans, the 120mms I would just go for Phanteks T30 instead (Chromax A12x25 seems funky quality sometimes). The A14 industrials have a different motor that are a bit more buzzy than regular A14 at all speeds.

I like the 140mm Industrials because they're physically tough. And no new modern 140mm design yet a la A12x25 so not much of a choice. Though I might have to swap out the push fan. It's a few years old A14 2000rpm, that my Unify-X frequently has trouble with (no matter what header it's on, sometimes doesn't spin at boot until I restart). The pull fan is a newer A14 2000rpm IP67, and works fine.

Some people run a thicker fan instead, but I can't run push-pull then, so until Caselabs returns and I can use a full height air cooler again, this will continue to do

I had a similar issue with a PWM 2K Industrial that literally just "Poofed" one day on this troublesome header on a previous MoBo so I had an identical DC version as a backup that had the similar symptoms about not spinning up I JUST finally replaced it again with a 2K PWM so I have full fan "parity" again

Bingo! I let my mine howl at full 2K at load but are silent as a mouse at idle

Funny story, I even opened an RMA at one point with Noctua over this fan on this board. Then later it all of a sudden decided to work again. By that time I already had a new IP67 so I decided to go push-pull.

My Impact doesn't have problems with either fan so not sure why the Unify-X is so fussy.
 
It would seem I got the looks I wanted.

7950X + Crosshair X670E Extreme, 64 gigs of DDR5, 4TB of 980 PRO etc. For now with RTX 2080 Ti until there is something worth buying for.

Nice and clean.:cool:


You should update your system specs! ;)


I do wonder though for what do you need 64GB RAM?.....

Virtual machines and FPGA design stuff and in the future possibly extend beyond to other CAD work.
First it eats your wallet, then it eats your RAM.
 
Had that PCI slot bracket for 2x 80/92mm fans lying around so why not put it to use with 2x Arctic F8 silents :)

Nice way to use the slot. Extra cooling is never bad !
