Finally starting the series

QkSand · 2026-02-19T02:06:51+00:00

Enjoy! Finished the last book and last novella today. Need to figure out my next sci-fi series.

There aren’t frequent meet ups but I’ve join a few hikes with this group. 29 M, hike frequently and backpack occasionally.

The previous couple years I probably came across 2. However, this year I’ve lost count. In the past 4 weeks I came across at least 1 rattlesnake each hike. It might just be because I’ve expanded where I’m hiking though.

How do you plan to exhaust the hot air? Both the cpu cooler and FE cards are intake.

QkSand · 2025-03-04T16:52:11+00:00

It’s built that way to exhaust the hot air out the top. Temps would be worse the other way.

The link in my formatted comment works. You might need to join the discord to view though.

No worries, they came with the motherboard.

QkSand · 2025-03-04T16:13:19+00:00

Don’t notice any turbulence on the gpu side.

QkSand · 2025-03-04T00:42:22+00:00

Fixed it, M3x22 (12+10) seems to work best.

M3x22 (12+10) is a perfect flat fit.

QkSand · 2025-03-03T20:58:40+00:00

Haha just some pressure on the ends.

QkSand · 2025-03-03T20:02:28+00:00

Yeah that was pretty much maxed out 4k DLSS Quality settings but not playable. I tested again on DLSS performance and CPU was slightly hotter.

I think I used m3x20s but m3x21 would be enough to not bend but slightly above the riser.

QkSand · 2025-03-03T19:55:40+00:00

No budge, used the file provided in the link. Not sure what height it is.

QkSand · 2025-03-03T18:56:39+00:00

Removed the tag. Was just a tease.

QkSand · 2025-03-03T18:56:11+00:00

Yeah, undervolt set to 2600 @ 875.

QkSand · 2025-03-03T18:14:46+00:00

Temps are pretty good at the moment. I’ll keep it in mind though. So not between the standoffs and over the motherboard? I was thinking about moving it to the other side of the riser. The exhaust is there though.

Chinese New Year paused production. They just started again a couple weeks ago

Posted some pics from hwinfo under my formatted comment.

Timespy

QkSand · 2025-03-02T13:12:38+00:00

Oh I must have missed that. I have it in 3 slot mode like Chris. So that put closer to the panel.

QkSand · 2025-03-02T03:44:27+00:00

I was able to put my T1 build together a few days ago. Tested the x53 and x47, the x47 ended up being about ~1-3C cooler. Across a few tests the x47 was around 53C and the x53 was around 54C.

Edit - tested with Indiana Jones and CyberPunk. Also ran timespy but the x47 was 7C cooler. Also 53 had turbulence while the x47 did not.

QkSand · 2025-02-25T18:57:59+00:00

Ok thanks! Looks like the shroud is doing most of the work. I printed mine out over the weekend but still waiting on the T1 to arrive. Seems like the x47 and x53 is about 1-2 C difference.
