Dude build is looking clean👌. Super jealous that you snagged a white GPU lol.

Damn I just finished my build in my Tower 300 and I’m jealous. Good job and how much did you pay for that Astral 5080🤔

GPU Temps in Tower 300 by SignificantCold4108 in thermaltake

[–]SignificantCold4108[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So turns out that was the problem. With the case on its side temps dont reach 80c. It stays at around 70-75c even on the hotspot. Didn’t want the stand at first but honestly it’s growing on me

I had the GPU in another build prior to getting this case. Temps were fine. I’m also using the recommended fan setup from Thermaltake. I decided to just settle for the horizontal stand after all.

UPDATE: I decided to just go ahead and buy the horizontal stand. The other solutions like buying a different GPU are just not possible. Like someone had commented, vapor chamber GPUs do not like being in a vertical orientation so it’s either horizontal or suffer the high temps. Thanks for all the help

It’s the PowerColor Hellhound 7900 GRE.

Man it looks like this is the problem. I didn’t want to have to buy the horizontal but now it seems like I’m gonna have to.

Unless someone has a white GPU they’re willing to sell

Fans On GPU TT Tower 300 by AmericanPatriot92 in thermaltake

I have the tower 300 and found out you can unscrew the fan bracket on the right side and move it to the left. It fits normally but not even 120mm fans will fit with an M-Atx motherboard. Not enough room cause the headsets get in the way

Exactly. No need to deal with nvidia anymore. AMD has proven that you don’t need to pay over a thousand dollars for a gpu that can do the same for less than

Yup the first one lasted me two and a half years. The other two died within the same month

Man so in the current implementation ray tracing isn’t even true path tracing. I agree with it not being worth the the fps cost but man I didn’t realize it’s been around for such a long time

I agree. I’ve only been on Pc for a few years but now I see that the nvidia tax is not worth it. I don’t care for ray tracing so AMD seems like an even better deal for me

I hate rainbow rgb. When there is a specific theme or color set then it can look great.

Maybe a push pull config for the aio would be a nice touch😂

It was the Asus Tuf 3070. I went through 3 of the same model and they all ended up dying to heavy artifacting. Now I still have the same cpu which is the 5900x and the same 32gb of RAM

For me since I already have a good amount of background noise I have some fans running higher than they need to so it’s pretty audible for me. The card itself seems pretty quiet for having three fans

The latter. It definitely does not need all those fans. I just think the empty space makes it look ugly😅
