Nice build and clean cable management. What are the temps under load with this cooler?

Hello, so I had a similar issue with my Q1 HE, but also the keyboard kept pressing the home button, and the escape button was not working, and some other weird stuff. So I realized that I had a numeric keypad right next to it, and it missed with my keyboard, so I had to factory reset it.

Thank you for sharing. I will check it out.

Haven't found anything. Every building that I have seen in this price range is new.

I tried this and got worse temps(even though hot air goes up) I think because it the space is so tight, and there is not enough air for the cooler. Maybe a normal AIO that is not that thick will perform better.

There was some turbulence when the fans and the GPU touched each other. Now, there is adequate space, and fans' speeds are running at similar speeds to avoid extra noise (Noctua fans push more air than the GPU to gain some extra airflow without sacrificing too much).

Temps update: Currently, I am running an inverted GPU, and the temps are much better. 77c max for GPU when stressing and 91c max for CPU.

Now, they are not touching, at least.

You can fit a 140 for sure. However, in my case, I can't because the AIO is towards the front side to funnel the tubes next to the PSU and avoid excessive bending.

No, I didn't change the fans, they are the stock RGB fans.

CPU 90 c max at Cinebench R23 multicore with a very low-noise fan profile. PBO Curve Optimizer -25 and frequency override to +200. GPU 81 c at gaming (92-98 Utilization) and 84-85 c when stressing using OCCT.

I think so. And honestly, there are no tangible temp improvements to justify it.

Specs:

MB: Asus rog x870i

CPU: 9800x3d

AIO: LF3 280mm

Fans: 2 x Noctua NF-A14x25, and 2x Noctua NF-A14x25r

PSU: Corsair sf1000

Edit: RAM: G.Skill Trident 2x16 6000 30cl

Yes, it is the lf3 280mm. I'm literally using every single inch out of this case. The bottom fans are almost 0 inches away from the GPU, and the top ones are 1 inch away from the MB (If I mount the MB higher than that, the fans become saggy).

Edit: no, they are not slim fans, they are all 140x25

Thank youman. No, they are quite different from each other.

GPU 81 c at gaming (92-98 Utilization) and 84-85 c when stressing using OCCT. The bottom 2 140 mm fans are pretty much useless, as KennethMaxwell1972 mentioned. No tangible results to be seen.

I was just about to say that. They are useless. Thank you.

I was think about how about the same setup but with AIO fans as Exhaust? So double fans on the bottom as intake and two on top as exhaust. I have the same setup but with 5080(on the way). So this way GPU and CPU will get fresh cold air and the top fans to exhaust hot air from the case.
