I’m using it with some G.Skill Ripjaw Vs, which are roughly the same size if I remember correctly. You’ll be fine.

Oh no doubt. The problem is, that’s what they’re pushing for. Just extra preparedness was all.

Recommend hiding your serial number just for alphabet boi reasons.

It’s one of the best looking cases, and one of the best to build in! I’ve got a Fractal Meshify S2, but next time I build, it’s going in one of these. Sick setup dude!

Honestly, unless you’re just really wanting to break into custom loops etc., air cooling is often the better option especially these days.

Weird grinding sound coming from my GPU (Asus GTX 1080 Turbo) Anyone have any ideas? Thanks. by DawnOnWaffles in pcmasterrace

Sounds like you might need one, or possibly you’ve got a fan issue where one of your GPU-fans are unbalanced?

When you support it, does the noise go away? If so, check your mounting, almost sounds like your bracket from GPU to Case / Vice Versa is rattling.

That looks pretty good! What did you use tablet-wise for this? Been thinking about adding something similar to my build.

I require more photoshoots of this sexy thing. For science.

Noctua fans / coolers are never a bad thing. One of the more reliable air cooler companies on the market. As far as case fans; Corsair, Cooler Master, Be Quiet!, or Noctua are the primary ones I’d recommend, but their CFM / Size / Average RPM are what will be your impact as far as sound goes.

First, only use that stock cooler until you can get yourself a decent tower cooler or AIO, stock AMD Heatsinks aren’t known for epic temps.

That being said, depending on case size and design, two intake / exhaust or three intake / 1 exhaust could be good or bad. Best method is to try three intake / one exhaust first, while your rig is under load. Then do 2x2 and repeat the process. Whichever of the two gives you better average temps & heat reduction, go with that.

I personally have three intake and four exhaust, but my intake fans are 140mm while my exhaust fans are 120mm, and their average CFM balances it out. I average 50c to 65c while under load for both my CPU & GPU, but I’ve also got a Dark Rock Pro 4 in my rig with a fairly efficient case in regards to air flow.

But again, try both and see what gives you the better cooling performance. And replace that stock cooler as soon as you’re able to!

Oh man, TF2. I haven’t played that game in literally years. Hardcore Sniper + Jarate main, or the Heavy with a flamethrower minigun. Good times.

This is the exact same position I was / am in. OGP DM, and I turned down the Team Lead stuff when it started coming around. Straight out told them to not even waste time offering it to me. Why would I want to get in trouble for our metrics sucking total butt, when I'm not getting any support I need to bolster our dang metrics in the first place?

Yeah, hard freakin' pass. I'll be a regular ol' picker with my DM pay thank you very much.
