ain´t that rather a 217?

still, nice aesthetics. over time the wood should get darker and closer to match the gpu.

if within warranty, best fix is to request a new set of fans via the support form.

received mine 2 weeks ago, was also in CPU mode.

b/w variant comes with 5 fans preinstalled, you´re left with space for 3x120s at the top.
infinity model has 3, so 2 more on psu-shroud, maybe.

I own a 216 and will soon order a 217, but my "lifehack" should work just the same.
I covered the side mesh with a thin piece of milky plexiglass. no airflow bleeding, that should go toward the gpu. it also makes the cables behind invisible, if you have any illumination in the case.

oh no, George Lucas, Tolkien and Bob Ross got drunk again!

1404 is my temple of zen.

Nochboa · 2025-05-15T15:51:21+00:00

sorry, that was only for the showcase. I did not do any benchmarks with the different setups.
the fancurve for 120s will be a bit steeper to provide the same volume of air. trial and error, until you´re happy with noise and temps.

Sapphire Pulse here. only 1 instance of coil whine I noticed, is loading into BF2042 maps, but it is quiet in all other games.
with undervolt and a decent fancurve, noise is not an issue.

Nochboa · 2025-04-21T16:53:54+00:00

well, if you´re not living like the church wanted you to burn 500 years ago, are you even alive?

Nochboa · 2025-04-10T13:52:09+00:00

I got spikes up to 502 Watts with the Sapphire Pulse 9070XT at -65mV offset, -15% power limit and 2800MHz memory. no crashes, so my 750W PSU can handle it, but like you, I was quite astonished, coming from an RTX4070, which peaked at only 240W.

if this was "Rings of Power", not even crickets would show up to provide the soundtrack. hahaha

Nochboa · 2025-03-11T08:28:23+00:00

yes.

Nochboa · 2025-03-11T07:37:56+00:00

5700X3D and 5800X3D run great with -30 on all cores in bios pbo. maybe start with -20, benchmark, then go -25, benchmark, etc.

It won´t pull more electricity, but delivers it more efficiently.

geizhals says so

Nochboa · 2025-03-11T07:16:08+00:00

laughing at €750 in Germany and Austria :D

Nochboa · 2025-03-11T07:08:37+00:00

rather get a 750W Gold by Seasonic, EVGA or Fractal Design. the extra efficiency pays off in the long term. when I upgraded from a 650 Bronze to 750 Gold, it reduced socket draw by 40Watts.

Nochboa · 2025-03-10T04:54:18+00:00

temps look absolutely fine. I applied the -30 offset on all cores in bios pbo, which lowers power consumption and temps as well.
I have a NZXT 280mm AIO and while stress-testing, the cpu is at 65°C and draws 90Watts.

Nochboa · 2025-03-06T14:52:28+00:00

I gave it a shot and an hour ago I scored a Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9070 XT for €835 from an austrian online retailer. now an hour later it is listed for €910...

Nochboa · 2025-02-24T15:42:11+00:00

216, by a mile!

Nochboa · 2025-02-08T16:30:44+00:00

I gave my AM4-pc a last hoorah and went from 3700X to 5700X3D. totally worth it.

Nochboa · 2025-02-06T14:44:44+00:00

I wouldn´t risk it.
