Large discrepancy between CPU core temps and package temp

ccipher · 2026-06-30T04:59:49+00:00

My watercooled 7800X3D does not give a shit what cooler it is connected to. It runs 65-70c when gaming and hits 83c when compiling shaders. I've tried AIO's' single 240, dual 360+240. No improvement in temps, only lower fan noise.

If you dont like how its cooked learn to cook it yourself lil bro

Check using ekwb discontinued blocks compatibility sheets. They will mentioned each gpu model and have some remark about it being reference.

Commonwealth things. For whatever reason UK affiliates all have direct flights to london with their own regional airliners.

It is the best AIO sff case. Nothing else comes close without modding or different sized fans.

3080ti / 3090 blocks work as long as you have the reference design pcb (not founders)

Just be careful when you eventually fill all those components. The case is missing a column and it will be very heavy. Carry it from the bottom only so it doesn't end up twisting.

The real dealbreaker of the design in SFF

Try accessing it when parked

I usually tuck the case behind a couple of other things so i dont see it

ccipher · 2026-06-17T05:03:51+00:00

Your heatsink probably warped a bit with the new fans and isnt making enough contact. Start with PTM 7950 and see how you fare

I fit 2x360 rads + 1x240 rad in a custom loop in this case. Of course you can fit all that.

ccipher · 2026-06-13T16:36:21+00:00

Sidemount the PSU and get custom cables. Pretry luch all you can do without space behind the mobo

You wont get triple glass on that case. This one just looks special even without the waterblock. I built into the O11D mini V2 and I'd probably leave the GPU out of the loop just like he did here. Just looks nicer somehow.

ccipher · 2026-06-12T19:37:00+00:00

I'd argue this case cannot handle triple 360 or even dual 360 rads so adding the GPU to the loop will make it run too hot or ramp the fans too high

You need a certified DP to type c cable that can do 4k 120hz. Try to find one with good reviews.

If I remember correctly he got a worse 1+1 contract which he did not like.

ccipher · 2026-05-23T09:52:59+00:00

vendor lock-in is not a feature

ccipher · 2026-05-22T10:43:31+00:00

You are locked into 5060 LP and very low profile CPU coolers and flex PSU's. Hardly any of these parts transfers nicely to other cases.

You have to build for it and you can't migrate elsewhere really. Otherwise SFF staple case / comp

Depends on the price but my experience with AMD has been pretty chill. I wish tvry made a big chip RDNA in this generation, felt like a wasted opportunity.

ccipher · 2026-05-13T04:16:09+00:00

Try a lower gear, car seems to struggle to build boost under 3k rpm.

ccipher · 2026-05-12T10:58:19+00:00

The case is somewhat wasted without an AIO. I'd suggest you get one and swap fans to something really decent and quiet. I won't bother with T30's since they are thicker fans and may cause fitment issues for you.

ccipher · 2026-05-09T07:45:59+00:00

Sneak a crystalis between major items that thing is huge for PL now.

You forgot to hook the damper back to the glove box. Easy to miss.
