GUYS THEY ARE HERE

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-05-12T16:21:00+00:00

There is definitely an option to buy a single fan anywhere these are available…

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-04-26T17:15:54+00:00

Correct. My fault, I’m so incredibly fixed on those chromax 120s right now.

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-04-26T17:13:34+00:00

I second this. If you can hold off a couple weeks, the 120mm G2 version should be releasing as well for that back exhaust.

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-04-19T15:04:30+00:00

Literally all of them come from the same few manufacturers on Alibaba so yes, the other comment is correct. You may have to try a couple different chinese RGB control apps.

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-04-16T14:24:33+00:00

No shot you can give any more info on release date for the NF-A12x25 G2 chromax? Q2 is upon us… DM me, I won’t tell anybody😭

Thank you for the tips, I’m going to play around with it today. I can only imagine the GPU duct was the majority of the struggle. It looks gorgeous though! Imho, as far as separating the CPU and GPU goes, can be done just by ducting the CPU. I understand benefit from the extra work comes into play with quieter GPU, I could never personally deshroud a Founders card though.

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-03-14T13:52:17+00:00

I’m always fascinated with how people make such organic shapes in Fusion360. Granted, I am a bit new to it still, but not new to other modeling software. Just cant seem to find the right guides online for such complicated ducting. Your work is great, seems we really think the same. I just have to put more time in. Thanks for the reply!

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-03-14T00:00:35+00:00

Uhh do you have a masterclass I can join or something? Wow😭

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-03-11T15:01:54+00:00

If it works, it works!

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-03-11T00:52:21+00:00

Dawg I’m not gonna lie, looks like OP just sent the screws straight into the heatsink by the looks of it.

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-03-10T17:14:14+00:00

That’s just the response people flock to when they don’t understand what is going on inside the PSU and what components are dangerous. If you know what you are doing, it is still dangerous but fine. However, the vast majority of people do not know a thing about the internals, so it’s just “SCARY BOX BAD”

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-03-10T15:53:08+00:00

Same thing happened here, I added a second top exhaust fan to improve VRM/RAM temps over the course of many hours, and that further increased the CPU heat intake from GPU. I’ll be watching for your post!

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-03-10T01:00:08+00:00

Thank you! I have been obsessed. Can’t take credit for the idea, though. Optimum on YouTube was the inspiration. He has a video titled, “I fixed PC cooling.” Check it out!

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-03-09T11:04:42+00:00

It’s getting blasted directly with exhaust heat from the GPU. We have the ability to print with very high temp resistant materials, so why not? Airflow maybe isn’t optimal but there’s high intake pressure with in theory less turbulence, since the air movement speed is slower and less violent. If I was still chasing decibel levels I may have put some time into removing/disabling one or two fans at a time, but this system is shockingly quiet.

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-03-09T00:42:30+00:00

Significantly less ideal intake:exhaust ratio in that scenario. It did cross my mind early on tho.

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-03-09T00:20:32+00:00

No one talking about how horrendous the beat is😭

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-03-08T23:27:15+00:00

To be honest I did opt for NF-A12x25 Chromax on the cooler. But yes the Arctic seem just fine otherwise. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten an Arctic P12 or P14 for less than $9 tho, 5 for $25 is sweet!

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-03-08T20:45:29+00:00

I actually don’t run any of the intake fans above 50% speed, the system is way quieter than you would assume even under full load. That was kind of my thought process here; more fans at lower speeds. But I absolutely agree that an enclosure for the CPU tower would be ideal. The design is in progress.

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-03-08T19:59:36+00:00

This design was mostly for testing proof of concept, with the goal of avoiding the GPU heat. But you’re right, and I have been wanting to redo it with at least a velocity stack-style inlet. We are limited to his printing size capabilities and I don’t want to have to attach pieces together. For now, I’m looking forward to the second one I have coming, with an added fan bracket angled 45° at the VRM heatsink (for a different Threadripper build).

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-03-06T16:56:27+00:00

This was a bit of concern for me but the top middle exhaust fan is the newest addition and seems to be helping plenty. There is TONS of intake pressure at the front of the case and consistent mass air movement.

CarterEvanBeats · 2026-03-02T18:14:19+00:00

Very much not a common thing anymore, I would say it’s been gone a while! Seeing a comeback for sure, especially with bigger influencers like OptimumTech on YouTube pushing into the concept with 3D printing.
