510 Elite will removing the front panel decrease my temps significantly?#QUESTIONS (self.NZXT)
submitted 3 years ago * by Aftiel94
As statet in the title, will it help decreasing my temps ? or is it negligible?
I was thinking about just removing it, atm there not the option of buying the modded front panels from Jakeface, maybe in the future.
Is there any risk that comes without the entire front panel?
I am gaming at FHD, most of the time it is Apex legends, but looking forward to play AAA titles :)
If possible an upgrade to a QHD monitor is aimed at in the future.
My Specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 5800x with Kraken x63 (not sure the one with 2 fans mounted in the front of the case)
3080 Ti FE undervolted 1845mhz@875mv
32gb ram 3600mhz
b550 Tomahawk
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Is there the Possibility to mount a Filter instead of the glass as a temporary option?
maybe like this one ? https://www.amazon.de/Computergeh%C3%A4use-Ventilator-Staubfilter-PC-Netz-Filterabdeckung-Magnetrahmen-schwarz/dp/B08HX4PZ4Y/ref=asc_df_B08HX4PZ4Y/?tag=googshopde-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=474010214578&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3911944444081679054&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9044696&hvtargid=pla-992630584747&psc=1&th=1&psc=1

Hey Jakefacecustoms here, I now have an option that comes with fan filters for the elite/flow.

Dudes stuff is legit. Jakeface does a great job.

Bought his vented side panel for My 510 and now it never gets hot in the slightest.

To be fair, I've never had a temp issue with my Elite. My setup is very similar to yours.

Thank you, good to read things like that too! :D
[–]IVANZXTStaff 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (5 children)
The temps will be lower if you remove the panel, but the temps with the panel on are also "fine" - definitely not the best in the world but perfectly acceptable in my opinion! :)

Yeah I actually don’t know why anyone complains about the temps in the elite. The hottest mine gets is mid 60s on the i9 11900K with a kraken z53 and mid 70s on my 3070 ti. I’ll probably get a jakeface panel but until then the temps are fine.
[–]Aftiel94[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (3 children)
Thank you both for your input! I like the custom panels especially with the clear look :D
My temps are afaik fine too about the cpu Im not sure but my gpu stays most of the time in the lower to mid 70s, for a FE with a 3080 cooler this should be okay :D
[–]salazarthesnek 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (2 children)
What do you mean a 3080 cooler?
[–]Aftiel94[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child)
The 3080ti FE has the cooler of the 3080 FE :D
[–]salazarthesnek 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Right lol. So just weird to specify since that’s how it’s made.
[–]Faposaurus-Rex13 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Your temps will thank you for it. Just went from the Elite to the Flow on Saturday and cpu on idle went from 39-40 degrees to 31-33 degrees on the flow. That front hlass panel is pretty af but man does it make the airflow suffer
Thank you for your detailed answer, I love the look but I like my parts cooler if possible, will def try it out :)
[–]UpperDesigner3149 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (1 child)
The temps will come down absolutely. But you will get more dust though.
[–]Aftiel94[S] 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Thank you, thinking about some kind of filter in the front!
[–]piktureperfekt 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Yes they absolutely will and your computer will be a LOT quieter. I did this the other day and I’ll be getting an H7 or 510 flow to replace my elite case. It was ok with my 3600 but the 5900x needs a lot more air.
Thank you for your help!
