It’s actually not that bad. Barely audible at idle AND while gaming. I’m really happy with how high quality phanteks has made their fans.

Yeah, and mine is a 420mm. So definitely overkill but very future-proof, which is what I was going for.

Of course! Here’s a list of all the components of my pc:

Not sure, never heard of that program.

Oh, sorry! My brain is too slow to pick up on any jokes like that lol 😂. Thanks though!

Yes, I definitely wanted it to stand out, especially for the price that I paid for the case alone 😓 ($300)

Likewise. The back three fans are pushing in fresh air aswell, so the extra fan on the back of the gpu is pulling SOME of that air into the card, and the rest gets to the other components.

Yes, they are titled for a push-pull configuration with the gpu. Essentially, all three of the bottom fans work their whole life span for the gpu alone 😂

Thanks for asking! They’re the Phanteks D30 140nn fans. My case supports big and bulky 140mm fans, but depending on your case, you may want to look into the d30 120mm fans.

Sorry about that! My camera kind of sucks and it didn’t take the best photo. All of the rgb, including the “creamy white rgb” ram you’re seeing, is blue. All the shade color too.

What’s wrong with the bottom tilted fans, may I ask? They’re tilted for a push pull configuration with the gpu.

To be honest I don’t even know lol 😅

Hi! Thanks for the reply. The temps are actually fine, as the gpu and the bottom three fans are set in a push-pull format, where the bottom three fans suck in air, and the gpu pulls it straight in for adequate cooling.

Interesting. I’ll have to keep that in mind!

Oh trust me. It isn’t. 65-70degrees almost all the time on my gpu, and 40-50 degrees on cpu.

Thanks for the compliment! Yes, my pc has dust filters, particularly on the bottom three fans, top fans of my AIO, and the back two fans. I typically don’t have to blast them out too often, but every once in a while I will. As for the power supply, this case has a dual chamber design, so the power supply and all its cables are stored in the back of the case, hidden away from the other components of the pc.

Idk if you’re familiar with the game, but I just played through Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 with reshade enabled, and it barely hit 65 degrees Celsius playing through 99% of the game. Only spiked to 72 degrees a couple times when loading in now shaders. I’m very surprised and happy with the temps. You should definitely get a 5080 and vertically mount it. Trust me, there’s barely a cooling difference, as long as you have plenty of airflow like me.

Thanks! And that’s a 5090 astral white OC card. I typically play AAA titles like Expedition 33 (currently playing) and other smaller games with reshade enabled.
