Cheers! Gaming 62-66c for the most part, cpu stress tests are about 75c give or take.

Fantastic build! My friend has a similar setup. He recently upgraded the cooler to a Fuma 2 that gave him even better temps (running a 3900x).

In a cooler master NR200P? I'd be tempted but I managed to repurpose the noctua NH-L12 from a z87 / 4770k build using a 9$ AUD AM4 adapter kit, I was extremely stoked with that result.

Had to hand it to SilverStone, their wiring job is better than Phanteks. Sure that sleeve looks nice but not when you're routing it through that side passage and have to fit the front mesh filter right in front of the fans it gets a bit difficult to pass the cables through.

Ditched those RGB rings from the front. 99% of the time I have RGB off so I don't need them. Beside, the way the crappy Gigabyte software controls the RGB is that it's back to max brightness once you reboot, so you can't really dim them and forget about them. Beside, case LED aren't ARGB so you can never get white right.

All that's left is to replace the rear exhaust to something other than the stock SilverStone fan. Any recommendations for 140 with a wide PWM range and decent airflow?

Those Phanteks fans look really nice.

If you're looking for a great 140mm PWM fan with good airflow, I'd recommend the Noctua NF-A14 Chromax. It has very good specs and it's dead quiet.

Noctua's out, I'm not paying the tax. They're something like €28+ a pop over here. Compare it to Phanteks - €14.

That's actually a good price, here in Australia you're paying 25% more. It costs a left nut but you're getting 82cfm airflow at 1500rpm with the Noctua. I'd consider it a small sum to pay for just one exhaust fan, but it's your bacon roll and you can butter it whatever way you so desire.

I have a couple of them nocs in my spares box. they are nice fans, but yeah not cheap, even here in Blighty. new fans look good. i just put a mahoosive 420 rad in the front of my case, which is 3x140. I used corsair red led fans though.

You did mention "wide RPM range" so if you can find an A14 iPPC-2000 for about 25EUR then IMO that's a pretty good buy. Moves more air than the A14, is black (except for the vibration pads), and is a physically stronger and tougher fan than the A14, and has a wider RPM range that you can tweak to your liking depending on what sort of airflow/noise you want. Where I am right now the regular A14 is $33, the Chromax is $33, and the iPPC is $37 which makes the iPPC a no-brainer since I've seen it as expensive as $55 at times. Chromax is literally just a repainted A14, value is kind of questionable if they're not the exact same price.

But if it's just one rear exhaust fan, you could make do with just about anything. I heard that Phanteks is indeed the underdog in fans so it's hard to beat. You could also look for the Silent Wings 3 140mm; the performance as with most Be Quiet fans is underwhelming (super quiet, but not great), but their anti-vibration mounts are quite good, and I prefer the BQ clip-onto-the-fan mounts to both the Noctua SAV2 and AV2 pull-through rubber sticks.

Yes. Fuma 2 was almost touching the glass panel, but he got much better temps compared to the low profile cooler he was using previously. The cooler was configured to take in cool air from the rear so that hot air from the GPU has less of an effect.

Nah screw that old AMD stock cooler, keeps terrible noise. Replaced it with a Cryorig C7, hella silent compared to that turbine. :D

Love it!!!! I'm thinking that coupled with a RTX 3080 would make me a happy camper.

Thanks for the reply!

few changes since last time.
  • HDD removed
  • Extra Noctua fan on the NH-L12
  • RTX3080 TUF de-shrouded
  • Changed 2x silverstone slim fans for 2x Noctua NF-F12 Chromax PWM under GPU
  • Modified packaging to duct air to GPU Heatsink
  • Bling
Using Argus monitor to control case fans based on GPU temp, ~ same GPU temps as before, but substantially quieter.

Didn't have room anywhere else for the pump-reservoir than in the roof. This setup was total pain in the ass to work with custom loop, otherwise it's nice to have a mATX build once in a while. :)
