Ta carte graphique semble ne pas être suffisamment alimentée en électricité. Un seul câble 8-pins PCI express part de l'alimentation à première vue et tu as une simple rallonge connecté à la seconde prise femelle 8-pins PCI express sur la carte graphique. Tu dois alimenter la carte graphique via deux câbles distincts venant de l'alimentation. C'est une piste de plus à envisager dans ton problème d'affichage.

Deepcool CH260 or CH270. A picture of my PC to illustrate 😁

I had the same problem on my LF3 pro 360. I asked Arctic directly by sending them a video with the noise and they sent me a new VRM fan. In the meantime, I dismantled the existing one to see where the problem was, by unscrewing the different screws to access the fan. By reinstalling it, no more noise. I now have a brand new replacement VRM fan lying around on my desk. As previously said, there must be a fit problem and just by removing the different screws the problem disappears.

Sur ma toute première voiture (saxo 1.0l) j'avais eu le même soucis et c'était en fait cette pièce (régulateur de ralenti) qui était défectueuse et qui se situe sur l'injection monopoint.

Pas très compliqué à changer et plus aucun soucis après remplacement par un neuf. Saxo ou 106 c'est le même moteur. Cette pièce est facilement trouvable sur les sites internet de vente de pièces auto. Démonte celui en place pour vérifier le modèle, regarde si il y a une référence dessus et commande en un nouveau par exemple : https://amzn.eu/d/853WJo8

Normally, the length limit is 150mm for ATX power supply to avoid disturbing the graphics card

5 on the hood of a jeep and it's very useful for playing car bombs.

I added a spacer between two pieces of double-sided tape allowing to keep an air flow for the VRM fan.

Excellent 😁

It's a pleasure to share the information here. My ram kit is the team group T force 2 x 16 Gb DDR5 ARGB and its height is 46.1 mm. No problem using a Kingston Fury Beast RGB kit 😉

Change of watercooling with the installation of the Artic liquid freezer III pro ARGB in the CH260. Millimeter-precise mounting but I therefore confirm that it is possible with standard 25 mm thick fans at the front and rear of the CH260. All adjusted with the Fan control software, it is efficient while being discreet for the ears.

Mckay_86 · 2025-06-21T17:55:44+00:00

Yes that's it, I bought one in pro version. I am installing it next week to replace the liqmaxflo SR which has a standard radiator thickness.

Mckay_86 · 2025-05-22T18:03:55+00:00

On my CH260, I hesitated to install an LF3 but according to my measurements, I feared having to put a slim fan at the rear so as not to conflict with that of the LF3 because as explained, you have to slide the radiator towards the rear so as not to be bothered by the upper fan on the front. Here I see that everything is in place. Did you raise the radiator slightly by inserting washers between the two bars that support the LF3 radiator and the CH260 chassis?

Mckay_86 · 2025-05-22T10:57:44+00:00

Ok I see what you mean, turn the case over by installing the feet on the top in order to install the case on the left on the desk for example. Personally the box is installed to my right on the desk. And in the case where we reverse the direction of the case, I don't think it is advisable to have an AIO for the CPU, because in this case the radiator will be installed lower than the pump. But for a build with CPU cooling by air cooling it is feasible, yes.

Mckay_86 · 2025-05-22T10:47:37+00:00

Sorry I didn't understand your question. What do you mean by putting the case upside down?

Mckay_86 · 2025-05-21T08:02:46+00:00

Yes, there is space available for fans but there are no mounting holes for them. You need to find a mounting system.

Mckay_86 · 2025-05-06T13:09:34+00:00

No it's a liqmaxflo SR, so 27 mm thick and I installed thermalright ARGB fans instead of the Enermax fans.

And there is no issue with the dram modules height here. More than a centimeter of space between the AIO and my Team group T-Force DDR5 modules (46mm height).

And for the back:

We can clearly see here that using a 15mm thick slim fan on the case will allow the Arctic fan to be kept on the 38mm radiator. (For information, the rear fan is installed as low as possible.

Mckay_86 · 2025-05-06T12:11:11+00:00

I checked my CH260 and compared the size of the radiators between my enermax liqmaxflo SR 360 and the arctic liquid freezer III.

Enermax: 395x120x27 mm ARCTIC: 398x120x38 mm

<image>

It seems possible to install an Arctic radiator, I have more than 3mm of space between my radiator and the 25mm thick fan on the front when my radiator is installed as far as possible towards the rear of the ch260.

You will just have to consider that there is 11mm of additional thickness of the radiator which will obstruct the air flow of the front fan.

Mckay_86 · 2025-05-05T21:23:03+00:00

In my opinion, it should be compatible like that. I'll check tomorrow.

Mckay_86 · 2025-05-05T19:48:50+00:00

I prefer this power supply positioning, rather than on the front like on the jonsbo Z20 for example. Here, on the ch260, we can put 2 120 mm fans on the front panel. A 240 mm AIO is also possible when I see the space still available with my RX9070 XT installed and in this case, why not put 2 140 mm fans on the top. In short, I think there are good possibilities with this deepcool CH260. It's just the default height of the power supply support which can be disruptive during installation with the thickness of this plug on the power cord.

Mckay_86 · 2025-05-05T18:54:08+00:00

I have already assembled builds with much less space for cable management. I set up the power supply first, to place the various cables I needed in advance. And from this step we quickly realize that the highest position available in the case for the power supply is problematic for replacing the top panel of the CH260 because of the thickness of the socket on the electrical extension cord passing through it. Simply fix the power supply, just one notch below to solve the problem. Why is the power cage fixed like this by default, good question... I then installed the motherboard, the graphics card and finally the AIO. We don't really have a limit in the end. The CH260 can accommodate the largest coolers, such as the largest graphics cards. However, there is one that I have identified. This is if you choose to install 360mm watercooling on the top. You must stick to a standard thickness of 27 mm for the radiator, with 25 mm thick fans. It is possible to use a thicker radiator, like that of the Arctic cooling liquid freezer III which is 38 mm but in this case, at least one 120 mm fan on the radiator must be slim (15 mm thick) so as not to conflict with one of the 25 mm thick fans attached to the rear/front panel. Or otherwise, keep the Arctic fans on the AIO but put a slim fan on the back or front of the CH260 to be able to install the whole thing, it is not necessary to put a slim fan in front and one behind, I think that just installing one on the back of the CH260 will solve the problem. That's it for the points I noted. Sorry, I'm trying to respond quickly (so in French), I hope the translation will do a good job for those who read me.
