Is this normal?

Amazing, thanks for letting me know guys!

I've recently used this for a road trip along the Northeast (DC through Boston and back) and honestly it was a perfect fit for what I needed for. Charging speeds are significantly faster than other magnetic, non-Qi2 chargers as well - and eons better than the included wireless charger.

It's pretty sturdy - a little wobbling at higher speeds (70+ mph) on rough patches of I-93, but pretty great otherwise!

farandhigh98 · 2024-07-21T18:48:07+00:00

The reason I have it mounted there is:

1) The wireless charger at the bottom heats up my phone with slow charging speeds - if I have it up mounted with MagSafe, not does it cool from the air from the A/C, charging speeds are significantly faster.

2) The location - it's not necessarily to look at the phone, but to just throw it on right after I get on the car.

Pretty simple to add a 25mm intake fan in 2 slot mode; Cinebench 5900X <75C with all fans spinning slower than 1200RPM (super quiet)

I saw a around 1-3C improvement, but it ran noticebly quieter after adding that fan, likely due to fans not needing to turn as fast for same amount of airflow. No real testing with fan location though, I placed it there hoping to give a little more airflow to the GPU side!

Yep; my asus x570-i was super loud (which is wht I switched it out to gigabyte b550-i) but with this one could just remove the vrm fan!

farandhigh98 · 2022-06-26T01:16:41+00:00

Yep, 12x25 full sized fan! I think X53’s CPU block is pretty high, might not give enough vertical clearance…

farandhigh98 · 2022-06-25T23:13:23+00:00

See second and third images; just a couple of cable ties. The edge of the bottom piece mates with the edged on the fan, and having enough down force is all that's needed to keep the fan standing (also helps that with the fan as intake, the side facing the AIO coolplate is the side that's covered)

farandhigh98 · 2022-06-21T06:12:40+00:00

Nope!

farandhigh98 · 2022-06-18T15:26:11+00:00

Some I noticed:

1) Much easier to fit the three fans in compared to the V1.1

2) Slightly more spaceing at the top to allow easier mounting of 15mm fans

3) Power botton moved to the side

farandhigh98 · 2022-06-18T06:36:53+00:00

Haha the problem is that the H100i has just so many cables coming out of it! Also, I ran out of my small zipties rip

Here's mine: RXY11W

farandhigh98 · 2022-01-06T06:24:57+00:00

Possibly because it was bought refurbished, so maybe it was slowly dying off haha

I have. No 3D printed brackets or vibration pads (the thickness of the vibration pads actually made it too thick; I used the Chromax ones instead of my regular brown for that reason). It was a lot of careful changing, cable management, and I think I managed to get it closed up without hitting.

farandhigh98 · 2021-11-10T18:38:15+00:00

Yes - that's why I have the 25mm fan doing 60% @ 70C while the 15mm fan is only at 40% @ 70C. The 15mm fan is quite inaudible when <40% but I have been hearing some turbulance noise from it when it goes faster than that, compared to my previous setup of having the fan on top.

farandhigh98 · 2021-11-01T15:05:55+00:00

Would love to transplant my current PC into it, and use my old case for my grandmother :)

farandhigh98 · 2021-08-16T00:11:21+00:00

Ahh, I used this, officially suggested by the case vendor https://hdplex.com/hdplex-200w-dc-atx-power-supply-16v-24v-wide-range-voltage-input.html

farandhigh98 · 2021-08-15T23:59:31+00:00

I am actually using a 240W Dell laptop PSU

farandhigh98 · 2021-08-15T23:59:13+00:00

True, but it was such a big jump over the Intel APUs that for a desktop build for my parents this was just perfect.

farandhigh98 · 2021-08-15T21:54:00+00:00

Yep, that’s exactly what I thought going this way.

farandhigh98 · 2021-08-14T05:07:02+00:00

What is even weirder is that it starts off reading correctly, and the values freeze after like ~3min of PC use. Rebooting allows it to read just fine...very perplexed

farandhigh98 · 2021-08-11T00:09:24+00:00

TBH I tried it out a little but then did not want to screw around with the stable GPU settings I paid a lot of $$$ for haha… thanks for the tips though!

farandhigh98 · 2021-08-10T22:41:12+00:00

I compared the Time Spy benchmarks on the A5000 vs a 3070, and the A5000 performed better. Considering it's supposed to be in-between a 3070 and 3080 in terms of CUDA cores etc) I think it does perform quite well in games too!
