True, though sometimes backplate designs can look nice too.
Another thing is when you have fan-assisted airflow inside your case (what you should have with gaming-grade hardware anyway), the effect of gravity on hot and cold masses of air (convection) becomes negligible - something we tend to forget when we build our systems, I guess.

True true, it doesn't matter, I actually have very good temperatures. High 70's (C) at best.

Do you overclock? If you do, it's not bad at all.

FTW3 is pretty highly clocked anyway, but I added another 50 or 60 for benchmarks. CPU is running at a 110W max, doesn't do more than that, only in Prime95 it's at 150W.

Reason I got a vertical GPU mount
Mind you, now swapped over to Linux, so no LED support for my GPU, go figure lol!

That's pretty nice too, aside from the last thing lol - maybe you'll get it later

there seems to be only one real app being developed atm and it seems that it has a rather nasty lil habit of turning gigabyte MBs into bricks.
Wanna take a wild stab in the dark as to what make My MB is?

Thinking of upgrading case fans from stock cheapo 140's. Since I prefer to keep my PC as quiet as possible (with mesh front) and have very good experience with the fan used on my DR4 first choice is:
Front: 3 x Be Quiet! SilentWings 3 140 mm PWM
Rear: Pure Wings 2 140 mm PWM

With current prices that makes it €80 for the set. For comparison, 3 Noctuas NF-A14's would cost about the same and are suppose to be a bit louder and I'd have to shell out additional cash for the exhaust fan. Any other alternatives?

dunno what happened to your comment @Kanan but I don't get what app you're talking bout

But its This app (There have been reports of Gigabyte motherboards having serious issues (bricking the RGB or bricking the entire board) when dumping certain devices.)

Open source RGB lighting control that doesn't depend on manufacturer software. For Windows, Linux, MacOS. Supports a wide variety of RGB components, peripherals, accessories, and lights...

yeah I thought I didnt get your joke and posted a stupid comment so i decided to delete it, but it seems you actually talked about a app.

funny enough .. and well good luck with that

nah mate, sadly its very true and as its the only app that i've found so far that looks to be doing rgb on linux.....

I love the LEDs on that graphics card! The brown Noctua fans on the other hand... :rolleyes:

are the silverstones that bad ?

They get the job done but they sure ain't quiet above 600 rpm.

cucker tarlson · May 26, 2020

I may have three phanteks 140mm fans for sale,almost brand new,came with my p600 case.Two intake ones already got replaced with argb pack and the rear exhaust I'm planning to replace with a ring 140mm from alpenfohn too.
don't know how they stack up against those silverstones and others.they're 140mm,3-pin,1300rpm iirc,look like f140mp without rubber corners.

I think BQ is a safe bet.

Did a Time Lapse form my last build

That's a cool video with some very nice editing too. Never seen an external water cooler like that before.

That's about as much as I'm gonna work on making the cables presentable. Needed a usb 2.0 and audio extension cable from cable mods to help with cables that plug into the bottom of the motherboard. Considering how much unicorn puke I got going on I think it looks ok.

One solution to those cables might be something like this, that way you can route your cables more direct. The disadvantage is that you need to buy two sets, as you get 1 up and 1 down, but they arent That expensive

oxrufiioxo · May 29, 2020

Those are pretty interesting I think evga has a more elegant solution for more money of course.... My pcie cables don't bother me though. I actually like the cables Seasonic supplies with their prime ultra titanium psu. I think the ones with the new GX and PX line are also pretty nice for stock cables.

Be aware that the EVGA solution will Only work on EVGA models though, as they switch their pins around so I'm told. I have the Seasonic Prime Titanium 1000W but still went with cablemod. The neat thing with those 180 adapters is that with a vertical GPU mount, the cables literally disappear.

oxrufiioxo · May 29, 2020

I've though about that with this case but typically you take a temperature hit even in a well ventilated case with a vertical gpu..... Right now my temps are crazy good about 64c under full load with a heavy oc which is pretty good for a 2080 ti about 4-5c lower than what I was expecting especially with the QL that aren't really know for performance I guess using 6 as intake overcomes that... My cpu temps are about the same which I thought they would be higher due to me switching to weaker fans and top vs front mounted radiator... maybe 1-2c higher at worse.

Overall I'm pretty impressed with the case. Happy with the swap from the 500D SE

I used the coolermaster vertical gpu mount, which places the GPU a good 5-6 inches away from the glass

I might still give it a try for testing purposes but if my temps are higher it'll be a waste of $60 cuz I will switch back to horizontal lol.

I like the cablemods version of it.

They are pretty much the same thing from what I can see, both do the same thing anyway. All I can say ATM is that with a room temp of 26C and just with general desktop usage, I never see the GPU temp go above 32C. Mine is a 2070 super and when I was on windows and using it i saw a high of about 62C I think it was during stress testing
