Sure you could upgrade the riser cable, but the 3M should work with PCIe 4.0 and if it doesnt work, simple disable pcie 4.0 and you are fine.

optional will increase the price of the case... use an adapter if u need type a :D or get one of these magnetic cables

No dont add it... usb-c looks much cleaner !

If u want sleek sata cables.. Get the Silverstones, they are AWESOME! Also avaible in black https://images.app.goo.gl/2wH252pHq73FcsNA7

Pretty much the same dimensions, nothing changed. I recently asked myself whether it would be beneficial to thermally connect the backplate of the GPU to the frame (middle wall) of the case. So that the case acts as a heatsink. Maybe i will test it

Simply ask the reseller

So the Sapphire Pulse seems to have a height of 46mm. The dan cases website says, that card with a max width of 45mm (with backplate) will fit. So the Sapphire could maybe fit

The thermal design is horrible. I think the best cooling results u will get, with a cooler that is using the stock shroud. Otherwise the perfomance will be worse when the sidepanel is closed. So if u dont want to modify the case, try to stick with the stock shroud. Just swapping the fan will...

Also 3M says the riser is foldable!

Just my thoughts: remove that heatsink completly. The cooling with the cpu cooler fan will probably be better anyway.

The C7 is load because the gap betweetn the fan and the side panel is so small. Doesnt really matter which fan u use. Both Black Ridge and NH L9i are therefor much quieter

3700x shouldn't be a problem. 3800x and 3900x have a much higher tdp. Probably possible, but don't expect die cpu to boost higher then base clock speeds

or your cpu isnt running on "intel specs" and is boosting more often then it should. u can try undervolting etc ;). do the temps get much lower with opened side panel?

Are u using a fan duct?

What do you do when u get bored? Buy unnecessary stuff :D I bought a used peli case for transporting my case safely when i'm traveling. I will transport everything except for the display. Dan Case Mouse Keyboard (currently looking for one 60%, maybe SK621 or ducky one 2 mini) Xbox Controller...

92mm fan is mounted with screws

Performance didn't increase but the quality overall a little bit

Yep they change the coating i can confirm that

Yea their design simply isnt well thought out...

This is at least my last Alpenföhn cooler. Wish noctua would have produced this cooler. They would make the product better in any way

I meant vlp

The cooler performance isnt worth spending more then twice the price for lvp

Nothing yet... i guess its getting delayed or they really meant at the end of february :D Caseking is listing the new batch for the 4.04.19 :/

I have never had problems with my msi gtx 1070.. The fan is never running in desktop modus. My card isn't running hotter in the Dan compared to my old define s

The first batch of produced black rdige coolers had quality issue, this issues should be resolved with the new batch of the same cooler

Anyone wanna test this radiator :D https://www.aquatuning.de/water-cooling/radiators/radiators-active/19376/alphacool-nexxxos-xt45-full-copper-50mm-dual-radiator?c=352 Looks pretty cute, i wonder how good it will perform. BTW Alphacools has now low profile "AIO" water cooling bloocks...

Got a call from alternate today, where i purchased the black ridge. It seems that the new charge is comin in at the end of february ;)

Great now i have the desire to get the V4

Returned mine today and alternate, mine wasn't soldered correctly too.

hot tip... dont ruin your cpu cooler or your vrm heatsinks... if u use a 90/120 mm fan blowing directly on them, u dont need them at all...

I bet the manufacturer will have to pay for the manufacturing problems so they will receive the faulty coolers

Wow dayumn, did they mention when they will contact the customers?

Not yet

They would be pretty polite if they do replace it. One reseller from germany (alternate) where i ordered my cooler, removed the black ridge from their website. Guess it will take some days/weeks till the new badge of coolers arrive

Didn't get anything from alternate yet. Afkward to send the cooler back

Interesting, maybe this is the reason why my cooler didn't perform as good as I expected

Well the C7 is noisy af and the air temperature in the case drops significant. The noise of the c7 would drive me crazy

As shown in my results, the 92mm fans pretty much perform the same and a 120 fan is very noisy above 1100 u/min. PantherB your results are pretty similiar to mine, it seems that the cooler isnt just perfomaning that much better CPU wise, but it helps pretty good with the temperatures in the...

Interesting, i may will test it.

CPU Temp wise a NH-L9i with a fan duct perfomance similiar. But the overall temps in the case of other components like SSD (mounted at the lowest position under the PSU), mainboard, GPU are several degrees lower (as shown in the diagrams).
