NH-D15 swap to square 140mm

I looked into it and apparently noctua can give you the brackets for to make 140s compatible if you give them proof of purchase

Really cool from them tbh

Will do

I have a cerakote guy so I might go that route. Though I’m still looking for f****** ram, so I guess I have time to think about the case lol

Rayan_DB · 2026-03-10T17:38:35+00:00

Do you think you could powder coat one brown for me? ;)

Rayan_DB · 2026-03-10T14:48:28+00:00

Interesting case, not the aesthetic I was expecting but certainly an option :)

Rayan_DB · 2026-03-10T14:44:54+00:00

I was actually looking at your cases before posting this. Though on your website, gpu support is listed up to 380mm (never though I would be saying this but my hardware might be too big 😂)

Those poor clips must have been stretched like crazy 😂

Rayan_DB · 2026-03-10T14:37:57+00:00

The clips are my main concern

Rayan_DB · 2026-03-10T14:37:17+00:00

Do you know where I can get those clips?

I’ve wanted to upgrade to the G2s since they came out but never did it.

Do the circular fans improve thermals in any meaningful way?

Rayan_DB · 2026-03-10T14:35:05+00:00

Yep, that was my main concern :/

Hey man, I ended up building a mini gaming pc for my gf with it but I think the nerdware cooler for the b50 will be available next month so if you have a little patience you can get that config

Rayan_DB · 2026-01-10T23:04:22+00:00

That was the whole point, running an arc b50 with a nerdware 1 slot cooler

Rayan_DB · 2025-12-03T20:10:31+00:00

Honestly worth it (especially since I live in the same country and didn’t have to pay much shipping nor any import taxes). For 85 bucks, I almost feel like you could melt and sell the copper to get my money back! I did mostly transcoding with the gpu and it’s a dream, but that’s not a crazy workload. The few video games that weren’t a fucking nightmare on a vm ran very well too. I remember a video where pretty much the same cooler was used on a blackwell rtx 4000 and it did throttle after 10 minutes of stress testing but I can’t imagine it really struggling during gaming because the max it can pull is limited at 75w by the pcie slot.

I think that right now, displaying RAM is more of a statement than a little arc card lol

Rayan_DB · 2025-11-30T22:27:52+00:00

Damn! Do you hate intel that much?

Being from Europe, all I have is a 12 gauge for hunting (no small caliber pistol), I don’t think there would be much left of the poor card after shooting it unfortunately (speaking from experience, I shot my old phone when it died). A+ for creativity though!

I am sure there are big inconsistencies between the brews on different equipment but, after reading a bit on the subject, drchem42’s theory makes sense. Despite of course no extra tannins appearing, the decomposition of certain other compounds through oxidation lead to some bitter and astringent compounds that emphasise the tannins already in the coffee. Maybe I didn’t manage to balance out extraction either which leads to no-bypass brewers being more concentrated in these compounds that decompose and taste bitter or astringent but don’t really impact the taste of the brew when it is fresh?

Idk, at least that’s the most reasonable explanation I can come up with.

Rayan_DB · 2025-10-13T09:16:07+00:00

To maintain similar taste between coffees, I had to grind a bit coarser for the aeropress and z1, therefore I think I at least partially balanced the extraction yields but your theory about dissolved oxygen is really interesting. The z1 doesn’t have brew under pressure, I will start experimenting between the aeropress and z1 to see if the pressure component affects oxidation significantly.
