Yes I think the same. I don't see a real reason to add it but some customer mention it. So I try to improve as much as possible. I think it will not increase the price.

EVGA 1080ti FTW3 specs were leaked... same clock and boost speeds as the FE Card, My step up request from 1080 to 1080ti FE is feeling more justified![]()
What do you think about this for V2?

My one and only suggestion for V2 is to make it 10mm wider so it can accommodate a much larger array of cooling solutions on the CPU.
Finally got my case yesterday Dan. It took awhile, but I'm sure it was worth the wait. Thanks for making it.

Someone also made a picture showing an elevated side panel with an RGB-LED-lit acrylic spacer.
Are you planning on doing an acrylic spacer? or know how to get one done? I really liked your idea but no idea where to start.that someone would be me lol
anyways for anyone having problemes with ddr4 memory running at the XMP profile on the striz z270i, I did testing for maybe a week and finally got a stable settings after undervolting the ram from 1.35v to 1.275v. it was running too hot and crashing as soon as the cpu went above 70C. the board is really tight. so yeah now 3000mhz runs no problem. hope that helps someone![]()
There are some screws on the backside of the motherboard. That is the case of my Asus z97i-plus, and from what I can see on photos, they are the exact same location.Out of curiosity (If I ever feel experimental with my z170i) how do you safely remove the heatsinks? Just pure force?

Oops sorry... what i meant is the headroom between both cards is zero, you could max both card to the same frequency, there's no added benefit to the ftw card other than extra cooling.

Case also got extremely hot lol.

I'm curious about this. My Ncase M1 gets quite hot on top and by the motherboard, but it is cool where the intake fans are. Is your case cool where the intake fans are?
The only intake is the CPU cooler. On mine, yes you can feel cooler air immediately surrounding the CPU cooler intake area on the side panel.I'm curious about this.

What were the temps without the Mosfet?? At what's oc?Removed the Strix IO heatsink tonight and tried a Scythe 120mm 12mm fan. Conclusion: stick with the Noctua A9x14, and remove the heatsink if you're using the LP53 with the fins running perpendicular to your RAM. Removing the mosfet heatsink provided a 10c or so improvement in Prime95 temps for me.
The Scythe looks bad ass and really cools the rest of the mobo, RAM, and SSD well. My RAM was about 15c cooler, in fact. But it is pretty loud and offers no increase in CPU cooling performance over the Noctua. It sits about 42mm tall once installed, but it has to rest on the wifi card module of the z270i and the RAM, or just the wifi module depending on how you want it, since it is so large. I.e. even once secured to the heatsink it sits about 1 or 2mm above it. The version you can buy separately is also not PWM, sadly. (Do they sell a slim 120mm 12mm fan with any of their CPU coolers?)

In your awesome cooler overview Meccabolix i seem to have missed the orientation of your fans. I have just installed the LP53 with Noctua a9x14, vertical orientation and used your YouTube video as reference - this have left me with the fan pushing air towards the CPU. Is this the correct "optimal" setup? You other lovely guys are also welcome to tune in on this.
Oh, and if anyone is interested I also removed the I/O shield, and used Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. Overall a 10c reduction in idle and on load from my Cryorig C7. However, noise feels like 80 000 dB reduction.
Yup i put mine so it blows towards the cpu.
Yes the A9x14 on the LP53 should be blowing air on to the CPU.
