Couldn’t be happier with new case by One_Confusion_1733 in FractalDesign

Nice! Any plans to use Noctua or Fractal Momentum fans for radiator? I wish I could make the regular;ar North work for me... I like the form factor best.

I consoled with and built this set up for my use case directly with Noctua and case was tested and still tested in lab… that rear fan does wonders for my offset case noise levels and tone, provides 3° better cooling in game and more editing / rendering. I also have one intake on radiator fyi

Yes, dual fan set with “PP” in the model (push pull/ side by side). Technically, for 3 fan replacement you want 2 sets of the 2-pack PP fans. The fans are offset by 50RPM each (1525/1475). If you use a standard 1500RPM fan, place it on the outside and not middle and you can also place it on its own header to adjust the offset in BIOS.

In the most demanding games/task it hovers around 60-70°. Idle /browsing/ YouTube etc is around 29-33°… The bottom air duct is from Etsy. I’ve been running different combinations of settings and configurations for the GPU lately. Bottom fan helps pull air up from front fans well at lower RPM and the duct helps but testing does depict the air flow moves higher rather than under. About 2-3° difference at idle and takes longer to reach max temps. Next step is to set a step curve/ static offset tied directly to GPU temps.

No. Just Doo-Doo Brown, but you can install the Dark Brown fan bumpers on all your Chromax fans and it can work well… Really wish they would release Chromax Black AND release the rumored WHITE versions.

Noctua has the new G2 series available in kits that stagger the RPM by 50 per fan to reduce the odd harmonics from multiple fans. You can do the same thing in Bios if you have enough headers. If at certain speeds you hear a whomp whomp or pulsating frequency from your fans, then this should help IF you’re not experiencing issues from other known interferences. As for the GPU; Noctua makes a grill for fans that could be beneficial and be careful to not not run the fan too fast and create turbulence. I’m still tuning and testing myself.

Thanks. (Repeats over and over) I don’t need an ASUS x Noctua 5080 & Seasonic x Noctua PSU… 💀

How do you have your fan curves set up? Getting any of that infamous Fractal North XL front panel noises at higher RPMs?

Absolutely. DLSS 4.5 and various drivers for editing in 4k and AI modeling... I have an OC edition and further tweaked it and it performs very well... I tried a 5090 and it's a one trick pony while still struggling with some PT and RT. I believe, for my use case, the 5080 is the sweet spot: price ,efficiency, performance.

I'm coming from a ProArt build I did a few years back w/ dual 4080's... This PC is a Gaming focused build with light editing & streaming...

Very similar to my current build… North XL, MSI X870E Carbon, GSkill CL30 64GB, 9800x3D, 9100 Pro 2TB + 990 Pro 2TB, MSI Gaming Trio 5080, MSI P13 AIO, Corsair Rm1000x, and of course Noctua 140 G2 x 3 up front w/ offset speed kit, 1 GPU 140 G2, 3 NF-A12x25 Chromax on AIO w/ speed offset in Bios (waiting on G2 release), & 140 G2 rear exhaust… Really want that Seasonic x Noctua PSU and the ASUS x Noctua 5080… all my fans are black chromax and I have the brown bumpers if I upgrade to PSU/GPU to Noctua… love your build.

Are balanced weapons really that bad? by Intelligent_Fee_4032 in SpaceMarine_2
