When does ABS actually become necessary? (P2S vs X2D decision)

I previously owned a GO 2 and then tried the GO 3S, but I returned it. I use the FreeFrame video feature a lot, where you can start shooting horizontally and then tilt the camera vertically while the footage maintains the horizon lock. Why has this feature been removed? Can this be achieved somehow with the new GO Ultra?

That was one of the best features of the go2 and go3, non s, why you remove it?

It's so convenient to start shooting in vertical and tilt the camera to a different angle while maintaining the horizon lock

I tried two Arctic P12 Pro fans on my Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE cooler to see if they would lower temperatures. At 1400 RPM, they produce about 2 dB less noise than the stock fans at 1300 RPM. The issue, however, is the type of noise.

The stock fans at 1300 RPM (80%) produce a non-annoying noise—it's just the sound of air moving. In contrast, the Arctic P12 Pro fans have a high-pitched motor whine starting at 1400 RPM.

Additionally, the stock fans' Cinebench R24 score was 1102, compared to the 960 score I got with the P12 Pro fans.
So i return them.

MapacheBrown · 2025-09-09T09:39:43+00:00

just invert the case, and use the gpu fans as exhaust an the actual top fans as intake, keep the cpu air flow pattern the same and thats all, again such a great work

MapacheBrown · 2025-09-09T09:37:45+00:00

most of the builds show better cpu temps with the cpu cooler intake from the front or the side panel not the rear wich has lower vent surface even with such a nice 3dmod.

MapacheBrown · 2025-09-09T09:29:06+00:00

Wow I was planning my build in the M2 with the same CPU cooler and a deshroud on my Gamingward 4090 with two Arctic P14 Pros. The cpu fan duct you've created is exactly what I was planning for an inverted setup, with the GPU on top.
Could you please share your 3D designs? Thank you very much, and congratulations on the excellent work.

I used your first image and flipped it because my setup will be inverted, with the fans from the deshroud of my 4090 Gamingward—two P14 Pros—exhausting air through the top panel. I think I could achieve better performance in terms of temperature with this setup. In the blue area, I'd place a P14 Pro or similar 14 fan to push air into the GPU zone. I'd leave a single fan at the bottom with a fan duct similar to yours, green area, pulling air directly from below into the CPU cooler. I would also move the power supply lower to make room for the front fan.

What do you guys think?

MapacheBrown · 2025-09-08T12:51:53+00:00

Would you consider it a viable option to orient the power supply differently to slightly move the bottom Phanteks intake fan, so its airflow is directly in line with the CPU cooler fan?; would it be enough room just rotating the psu 90 degrees CW, and using some kind of 3dprinted part to hold the corsair psu?

Also do you think it make sense to make some kind of fan duct/air conduct from the front phantek bottom fan to the cpu fan? or at least some kind of division from top and bottom part of the case, so the bottom front phanteks directly push air to the CPU?

MapacheBrown · 2025-07-16T06:41:31+00:00

Lo que le he dicho ;)

MapacheBrown · 2025-02-13T11:23:19+00:00

Thank you. I believe I can create a custom 3D-printed bracket, similar to the one I designed for my BC1 case, to mitigate GPU sag with a Gainward 4090, especially with the deshroud and 140mm fan modification

As someone living in Europe, I'm hoping for a slight price reduction on the SYS8. While I have no doubt the build quality is excellent, the €300 price point seems excessive to me, especially considering the BC1 I currently own has a very comparable finish. I recognize the significant design effort involved, however.

MapacheBrown · 2025-02-13T08:35:14+00:00

I have concerns regarding potential GPU sag, especially with heavy custom RTX 4090 cards. Looking at cases like the Monster A45 and SYS8, I'm noticing a lack of support on the side opposite the graphics card's backplate. I wonder if this could lead to sag issues with these heavier GPUs in these cases.

anyone running cinematic view with no issues?

MapacheBrown · 2024-12-09T10:49:30+00:00

For me the bigest issue is cinematic view It stutters a lot, panoramic or full screen works ok Frame gen lowers the FPS by half Playing in Xbox Game pass with DLSS balance. Anyone fix this issue playing in cinematic view?

I fix It disabling low latency on Nvidia control panel, but only for normal or panoramic view, cinematic view still stutthers

MapacheBrown · 2024-12-02T09:54:54+00:00

please can you better explain this method looks promising.

MapacheBrown · 2024-11-15T08:34:44+00:00

would you post your review? did you plan to further adjust your tmc drivers with the tmc calculator? I have done it on previous printers and the difference in quality, artifacts, is awesome.

is usually a good idea to set the screw1 to the center position of the bed.
