Look at it the other way, 180'. it wont fit, i looked on the Notua website, so had to get the S version. the pipes on the D15 hit the top VRM cooler, the S is offset so upside down there is enough clearance.

all this hassle is why i went with a 240mm AIO a few years back. Got it for a good deal.

Good deal. You will have to replace your cooler long before he will, that is the trade off.

My temps are probably better too, it's pretty good on the 12700k tbh

air cooling doesnt really work that well when ambients are 40C. they lack the thermal mass and reduce efficieny pretty quickly. i had already tested with my mates D15 before going for AIO.
EDIT: what this means is with an AIO i can have the fans at a lower average noise level than on airflow and have them go all reeeeeeeee all the time when there is load.

and loads during gaming and what i do arent really constant high loads. they go up and down, which means the thermal mass has time to let go.

not to mention i have only 65W for the 240mm rad to dissipate. which is super overkill imo.

good thing it cost half of what the D15 does here in india

as i said i got a very good deal on amazon.

and i am a mechanical engineer (from what my bachelors in engg says at least) so im sure i can jerry rig something

It's very cold here now, about 10c or below outside. Even with our 22-23c room temp it keeps my 12700k at 29-32c idle. pretty impressed tbh after the custom loop

Upgraded to more adequate PSU for my system. Also got myself a treat, Amech SGT-4 thermal paste. It was quite cheap with Amazon Prime so I couldnt resist.

Edit: Why did I post this here? This was supposed to go latest tech purchase forum :laugh:

its technically winter here now but days are still 30C

EDIT: my room stays between 24 and 26

Resurrected my old rig. Planning on turning it into a mega server soon with some cheap enterprise u.2's

DR4G00N · Dec 15, 2023

Decided to simplify my gaming system by getting rid of the water loop. Considering the 5600 & 3060M combined only peak @ <200W it didn't really make sense to keep it.
May pick up a PA120 for the CPU later, the Spire actually does a decent job (75C @ ~4550MHz CB R24) but it wouldn't hurt to have something a bit better.

Now if only I could do something about the obnoxiously loud PSU fan, maybe I'll just pick up a new 750W or something since it's over 9 years old now.

Great work! Looks really clean alright. Been a while since I've seen a PSU fan up.

Yeah I got tired of it vacuuming up all the dust off the floor, the bottom filter is just loose mesh so it only works slightly better than nothing.

My build seems a little confused right now.. but it runs ok..

I know.. but with that Asus card in there, the GPU was starving in the top slot, at least now it can breathe

If I am honest I don't even need the thing in there, but it bugs me to have stuff laying around collecting dust.. might as well power it up and get it dusty

Till I change my mind again :rolleyes:

Hi,
Guess if you don't mind you rtx card at x8 it's okay.

There are magnetic filters designed for exactly this reason.

So some time ago I moved my AIO from the top of the case to the front. Unsurprisingly, it resulted in very stable CPU temps, no matter the GPU load.

I also switched the fans from 2xArctic P120 (on the rad), 2xNZXT 140mm (front, included with the case) + 2xNZXT 120mm (back and the "toilet fan", also included with the case) to 3x120mm Corsair LL (the rad and back of the case), Arctic P120 (as the toilet fan), and 2x140mm Corsair LL (top of the case).

Two days ago I decided to move the AIO back to the top. Reasons?

- I wanted a bit better airflow inside of the case (the front fans were pushing air through the rad, which blocked most of the air)
- the ~2mm clearance between the GPU and the rad was making it really difficult to do anything inside of the case which involved taking out the GPU
- those 140mm fans were simply looking much better at front than the 120mm ones ‍

- the itch to tinker with the PC again

Results are, again, not surprising at all. CPU temps went a bit up, GPU temps went slightly down (table attached).

I prefer the way it looks right now (the "rainbow RGB" photo) with those 140mm at front, but I would really preferred to stay below 80°C on the CPU (call me old-fashioned).

Do you guys think it's a good idea to keep it that way? Or should I, given those temps, switch the AIO back to the front?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Cooling isn't really what I had wanted to do, but does a pretty alright job regardless. DIMM's certainly need more dialing in especially with four DIMM's, but had just pair running at the kits rated 7000MT/s and passed memtest86 with it. The four DIMM's I didn't have any luck yet posting that high best it could post was 6200MT/s, but had a good handful of errors as well. I think the IMC is just set too conservatively low mostly and possibly a bit more CPU VID is needed. Seemed to perform pretty decent with the 2 DIMM's. The single thread was within spitting distance of the higher clocked 13900K so not half bad.

14700K 7000MT/s

Hahah, that reminds me, my last pc came with a big piece of glass obstructing airflow upfront, so I replaced it with a window screen, lol, just cut it up and taped it on with electricians tape. It honestly it didn't look as bad as it sounds. That computer actually kept dust out better than my current one, still not 100% sure why. I should have positive pressure, even tested with some matches. But my last one had hugely positive pressure. 3x as much intake than exhaust, so I guess thats probably why.

---

Anywho I am just really happy to finally have my pc back up and running full strength. Its been a mess these last few weeks. The dead cpu and the all the troubleshooting, exchanging parts yada yada, then using the 12100, everything was only half screwed in, all the rgb was mismatched and I didn't bother hiding cables. Feels good to have everything back in order

Super Firm Tofu · Dec 20, 2023

Upgrade/Rebuild of the Linux box with a new (old) case, MB, CPU, RAM. I need to get some different fans for the the case and CPU cooler, but these will do (noisily) for now.
