Is it difficult to change the feet after building the PC? Like if I decide to switch them after the fact, will I have to remove the motherboard, GPU, and PSU to get to them again?

No it isn't. I did change the feet after installing the hardware. Just use a ratchet

Guys, someone on reddit posted that his Cryorig C7 temps dropped by using the backplate instead of the washers.


Could be worth a try?
Click to expand...

What? Is this even a thing, to not use the backplate?

Personally i just used it..didnt realise there were people not doing it. The c7 backplate does suck a little though..it puts a lot of stress on the motherboard itself. Be careful not to overtighten

It's a pity the back plate isn't compatible with my Strix z270i :(

How is that so? It works fine with my strix z270i. Make sure you use the backplate with the intel label facing up and dont overtighten the nuts (which may bend the motherboard). The m2 slot is clear and everything bolts into place just fine. Here it is pictured..im using the c7 heatsink with the noctua fan

I'll have another crack at it this weekend then. I just couldn't seem to get the backplate to sit flush against the motherboard at all.

Yeah i can see where you're coming from, it takes a little wiggling and adjusting the heatsink angle till it gets just right, then putting a little force on the backplate so the nuts will connect, one by one. The c7 backplate design is a little shitty but it will work fine

I have the ASUS z170 i pro gaming board and i had to carve out some of the backplate of the c7 to make clearance for a set of chips. The backplate was quite carve friendly.

I had to use the washers with my Asus z170i because there are large components on the back of the motherboard that interfere with the backplate. It's impossible to get it to sit flush, thus impossible to tighten evenly. After seeing that reddit post I may try to find a fix.

Like i said above, you can easily carve out the backplate with a knife to make room fort those components.

What do you guys think about the EVGA 1080 ti FTW 3?
Click to expand...

looks like the new ICX cooler is 3 x 100mm fans and this case has a max GPU size of 295mm without bracket.

Cannot see it fitting in terms of length. The 1080 classified was only 277mm

Just got a package from thermalright :)
you can go directly to 2:03 if you don't feel like watching the unboxing



Can't wait to test it out.

That's so pretty, but It won't fit, isn't it?
Is there a copper version of AXP100 H?
 
Diverge said:
Nope, and my tracking hasn't changed yet either. It's kinda weird that some people got them yesterday, in the same state, but others have zero tracking activity since they left Germany.
Click to expand...

Yeah I'm near the new england area and figured today would be the day. The tracking site is BAD.
 
My tracking hasn't updated since Germany either. West coast delivery.
 
Still no sign of movement on the tracking info. Probably would have been better to set our sights on Summer 17, then anything would have been a pleasant surprise

you gotta bend the heatpipes up to fit the fan bellow. i'll test it without the panel first
Click to expand...

What is the best way to Bend the heatpipes without destroy them.

Cooper is alot softer i think then other metall. Do you heat them up and then change the angle of them to get the Tower higher up ?
 
lol oh boy there was 7 left after me. I think it's going to go all the way to zero before the end of the day lol

they're probably raising the price since it's gaining more interest, and/or have very few left.

Ahh! now im nervous, gotta get home from work to try and get one, i was going for a white and green build but maybe i'll change to white and copper/bronze color aesthetic.

you heat with a heat gun (optional) and slowly bend it while being wary of any sign of kinkage. shouldn't be to hard
 
hey dan! how about you contact varick from thermalright. they might be tempted to jump onboard the dan HSLP-48 now that 8 copper heatsink just disapered (are disappearing ;) ) overnight from their old engineering stock. there is a demand, and they are seeing it even on their official facebook page now.
