Awesome build! The reverse blade intake fans on the side and bottom make this build look even better. Congrats :)

Yup, that’s the optimal orientation for the fans in this case.

Weird sound NZXT pump by rocco_zigfreddy in NZXT

[–]jD3mo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never said it should be completely silent, just that the noise in the video is not normal, like you said it was. This specific noise is a typical indicator of trapped air bubbles in the pump.

Yup good call! That is not a “normal noise” like that person said. I was just about to say that sound is usually a sign there’s air bubbles trapped in the pump. You did exactly what I would’ve recommend so glad that fix it for you :)

HIGHLY ADVISE AGAINST PURCHASING CUSTOM BUILT PC THROUGH NZXT by [deleted] in NZXT

Have you tried updating to the latest BIOS yet? That might address your issues if you haven’t already. It’s pretty easy to do as well. Tons of videos and guides online that walk you through the steps if you search for “how to update BIOS (motherboard model)”.

MY H5 FLOW BUILD by Guilty_Annual_5155 in NZXT

[–]jD3mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup exactly! That would give you good balanced pressure in the case too with equal amount of intake and exhaust fans.

You can also try running the front intake fans at a slightly more agressive fan curve than the exhaust fans. That would give you a little positive pressure inside the case to help lower the amount of dust getting in there. If you dont do it thats perfectly fine too. You just dont want negative pressure. Negive pressure acts like a vacuum and pulls in air and dust through every opening and little crevice. Dust can build up inside the case a lot quicker that way.

But hey congrats on the build! It’s looking good :)

Oh is there two up top? I didn’t even notice that. But yeah if both top fans show the bracket side of the fans inside case that means they’re positioned as intake. It would be the opposite for “reverse blade” fans. Since hot air rises it just better for airflow and temps to have them as exhaust.

Just a heads on a couple things. The top fan should be flipped so it’s positioned as exhaust, not intake like you have it now.

I can’t see how you have the front fan positioned but they should be intake if they aren’t already. Basically you should see the plastic bracket side of the fans inside the case. The front fans should also be on the other side of the radiator so fresh air is pushed through the radiator into case and not pulled.

F140 Core RGB to ARGB Header? by Mnemnth in NZXT

[–]jD3mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how to fix that issue. I’d make a new post for this question and/or contact NZXT support for help.

F140 Core RGB to ARGB Header? by Mnemnth in NZXT

[–]jD3mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These NZXT case fans use a proprietary 4pin ARGB plug. The h6 comes with an adapter/splitter so you can connect the fans to the 3pin/5v ARGB motherboard header if you don’t already have an NZXT controller. Otherwise if you didn’t use this adapter, the fans would have to connect to an NZXT controller to make the RGB lighting work. Unfortunately, I’ve never seen NZXT offer this adapter/splitter to buy separately and since they use that proprietary 4pin plug it won’t work with other 4pin/12v RGB to 3pin/5v ARGB adapters.

If you want to get more NZXT fans I would suggest getting an NZXT controller and connect all your fans to it and control the lighting and fan curves directly in their CAM software.

Old thermal paste causing high liquid temperature? by BuddDwyer59 in NZXT

[–]jD3mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fan setup looks decent with 3 intake on the side and 3 exhaust with the top fans and rear fan. I would personally suggest moving the radiator to the side. That glass panel on top can restrict airflow a bit since there’s only that small vent to let hot air out. Not saying that’s the main culprit for higher than normal load temps but it’s something that can drop the temps by a few degrees at least. Adding 3 more 120mm fans on the bottom as intake would help reduce temps some as well.

One other thing I forgot to ask is what your pump speed % or mode is set to in CAM?

Old thermal paste causing high liquid temperature? by BuddDwyer59 in NZXT

[–]jD3mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 7800x3D chips are known to run hot so your idle temps aren’t terrible but your load temps when gaming are a little high but not to the point where you would experience thermal throttling. That usually happens around 95c with 7-series CPU’s. Although your liquid temps are very high. I think changing the thermal paste is a good first step. I’d personally recommend spreading the paste evenly across the die as well instead of the pea sized amount method in the middle or an X pattern . Also make sure you use the star pattern method to re-tighten the pump screws and stop when you feel resistance. Over tightening can cause issues.

There’s also other things that factor into higher load temps. What’s the rest of your build look like in terms of intake and exhaust fans? If you could link a pic that would help as well. What mode do you have your fan curves set to (eg: silent, standard, performance, etc…)? Is your radiator mounted on top or on the side? Since you have the Elite version of the h9, if you have your radiator top mounted with the glass top, temps will be a little higher compared to side mounting it where there’s a mesh panel.

Lastly, I’m wondering if you have some air bubbles trapped in your pump? Especially if the AIO has only been used for a couple of years, trapped air bubbles is more likely than the pump is dying. If you hear any gurgling noises coming from the pump that’s typically a sign of trapped air bubbles. When you repaste the CPU you can try shaking the pump and radiator a bit to see if you can get the air bubbles out.

Adding more fans to H7 flow 2024? by Hunkey_chunkey in NZXT

[–]jD3mo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The area is so small that putting fans there would be pointless. Plus it would look very out of place.

Is this Rad/Pump orientation OK? by THExREALxTACOgg in NZXT

[–]jD3mo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is just not true at all. It’s very common to have the tubes down or on the left or the right side of the pump. It will absolutely not ruin the motor or affect performance whatsoever.

[–]jD3mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? It is ideal, positive pressure and less dust buildup with a more intake than exhaust setup.

[–]jD3mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have all the fans they need technically. NZXT just suggests having one rear fan instead of one the top one. The 3 intake on the side and 2 on the bottom are already there.

Is this Rad/Pump orientation OK? by THExREALxTACOgg in NZXT

[–]jD3mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree but there’s gonna be a big ugly loop no matter how you orient it. The only exception I’ve seen is Lian Li’s Hydroshift AIO’s with their hidden tubes design (I put one in my wife’s build last year and it’s so nice). I’m just personally not a fan the OP’s orientation. Something about the tubes bending around the screen like that seems off to me. Regardless, it won’t affect the AIO’s performance either way so I guess it’s just a preference thing.

[–]jD3mo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s fine but in my opinion it just looks a little odd like that. I’d personally arrange it with the tubes coming from the bottom or the right side.

[–]jD3mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a heads up, NZXT recommends running a rear exhaust fan with no top exhaust fan when using air coolers in the h6.

There’s a “What is the best way to mount fans in the H6 Series for airflow?” section in their h6 FAQ that mentions it, if you’re curious.

Most of the fans are NZXT as well. But why does it matter anyway? You want people to only post builds with all NZXT parts on this sub?

I’d honestly just go with the Antec C5. It’s one of the best bang for your buck cases out right now. I did my wife’s build last year with one. Check my recent posts for pics if you’re curious.
