Happy to see that the side panels now have expanded the ventilation openings for open cooler GPUs. That was the only weak point of this case in my opinion. Too bad the side panels are not yet available to purchase separately.

I did something very similar with an EVGA card. I just kept the shroud but changed the fans. 1. I see no problem in powering 2 fans instead of 3, as load will probably decrease. One observation I have is that I had to tune the fan curve, as my card seems to control RPM instead of a % load of...

May also be of your interest, a list of MB recommendations for Ryzen 3 based on current draw:

Nah, look up coefficient of performance. In very imprecise terms, refrigeration systems are not converting energy, they are "pumping" heat from a cold reservoir (inside) to a hot reservoir (outside). You can move much more energy (from one reservoir to another) than the amount of energy you are...

All the ways i can think of: 1. Find a way to dump the heat to outside instead of in your room, be it by ducting exausts or placing the radiators outside. 2. Increase room ventilation, perhaps by opening windows or using table fans. If possible place the PC in a point where airflow is higher...

I've never seen a comment age badly this fast.

My guess is that would be pretty bad. The shroud works as a duct for the radial fan, if you remove it will blow air in every direction instead of through the heatsink, so it will be pretty much useless. Also, the heatsink is pretty small, tunned for high pressure and an specific airflow...

I see. I though 100% speed would be 12 V, but so its instead 3000 RPM (max stock fans RPM). Thank you. I'm not sure about minimum speed (450 RPM) as I did not try to go that low. I'll check that.

I noticed after changing the GPU stock fans to the Noctuas, the Fan tachometer monitoring shows random spikes at some points in the graph. Like, its sitting at around 700 RPM, but suddenly there is a single data point at 1600-1650 RPM (close to the max speed of the fan), than back to 700 RPM. It...

I took the measures from the card, cut the circular holes in the same size and spacing in an EVA sheet, than cut around the holes a piece bigger than what the final piece should be (exacly the size of 2 120mm fans). I left a margin of around 2-3 cm in each side. Then, started a process of...

I recently made a change to my PC which I'm really happy about. I had the "standard" 2 bottom intake fans and open air cooler GPU configuration, which in my opinion although the easiest, its not the best by far. 2 fans mismatched in size and position working that close seems counterproductive...

Is there anything specific to keep in mind when chosing a platform for an itx system? It's pretty easy to find comparisons of Ryzen and Coffe Lake, but not much information specifically related to ITX. I'm thinking about compatibility, motherboard quality, cooling, etc.

What kind of wifi antena is this? I`m looking to replace mine and this seems a nice option.

Can you still control voltages in H370/B360? That would be nice for OP's case. Undervolting can do wonders about temperatures, specially on small cases.

Could you explain it a little more? How exactly do you attach the HDD bracket to the PSU mounts? Sorry if I'm being dense.
