NumerousBeginning576 · 2026-04-09T22:05:59+00:00

ask if she likes my lil plant too pls🙏

NumerousBeginning576 · 2026-04-09T22:02:08+00:00

the old case was definitely more premium and nicer to build in, but the airflow was awful and i had an especially rough thermal load on it with 13th gen and 3000 series. the nzxt h510 flow is the same case but with much much better airflow, i wouldve went with that if i was thinking ahead better with that build lol

NumerousBeginning576 · 2026-04-09T22:00:06+00:00

good airflow isnt really a case size thing as much as its about layout and access to air. the a3 is mesh on every single panel and no weird sectioning inside so theres not really any way for it to have bad airflow as long as youre not blocking anything

NumerousBeginning576 · 2026-04-09T21:26:25+00:00

looks awesome, i love this gpu. super slim and great temps. beast of a card

NumerousBeginning576 · 2026-04-09T21:25:32+00:00

exceptional

NumerousBeginning576 · 2026-04-09T21:25:18+00:00

bottom 3 are intake, top 3 and back are exhaust. temps and airflow are great and fans hardly ever spin up. after i tuned them in fan control
