It won't affect your CPU temps negatively like it has for me but it still won't be effeciently cooling your gpu. There's no vents on the gpu bay so the hot air will pool up there quite a bit before exhausting out the top and that'll raise gpu temps. I recommend going with a reference card or a full loop.
Ahh. I hadnt thought about that... Thanks!
I had two particularly noisy high flow 3000rpm noctua industrials and they did very little to help the reference 290 I had before I bought a non reference 1080. IMO it's not worth the hassle, bottom fans will cool an extra degree or two extra but will make the case even more crowded, noisy, and hard to work on.
No, because no motherboards support Thunderbolt on an internal header.
Would you still rather have USB Type-C if it were 1.) limited to USB 3.0, with no new features, and 2.) limited to a single Type-C port, in place of the current two USB Type A? Because that's all that's currently possible. Like the Thunderbolt situation, no motherboard headers exist for USB 3.1 Gen 2, so the only benefit to moving to Type-C is to have the reversible connector.
Probably it was late night when I wrote
After several hours I am done with everything but I have a huge problem now. When I put one the sidepanel on the PSU side my computer doesn't turn on. The CPU fan spins a few times and then turns off, clicks on again, turns off.... When I turn on the computer without this panel everything works fine. What now?
Well, turns out that one of the pins on the sidepanel wasn't properly pushed in. Now everyting works fine
good morning
recently i switched form a aio (nepton 240m) to a Noctua NH - U9S with two fans (air flow right to left)
i did this because i coudlnt stand the noisy sound of the pump , for now the rpm of the fans is at system start at 1300-1400rpm and under load at 100%cpu around 1500-1600 rpm ( i have to find out if my board is correct set to pvm mode )
i also have two 120mm fans at the botom for the titan x to get fresh air inside , one 120mm fan on the sidepannel across form the psu for fresh air into the case , the psu fan faces to the other sidepannel ( gets his air from the outside )
cpu to cool is a 6700k , i read the temps with cpuid HWMonitor , for stresstesting the cpu i used prime95 v289win64
i made a litle tabel where i compare both , i did run prime for about 10 minutes , ambient temp was around 20°C+- anyting beside the max temps are moment reading because the temps are always changing but not much
prime is a worst case scenario this will never happen while gaming or every other thing you do with your pc and this are the numbers of my pc they can change depend on running time and other things
ps the two fans from the aio pushed the air form the inside to the outside
That is a great temp IMO. I am running the same cooler, however with the airflow currently set from bottom to top and I have my 6700k running at about 1.2v at 4.2ghz and my temps go into the 80s during prime (version 26.6 so it runs a bit cooler even). Not sure if I got a bad chip or if it's just because my setup isn't finished yet. I am still using the integrated graphics and no additional case fans installed yet. I'm not sure why but my temps seem very high.
TL;DR: This is TMI, just personal reflections on my build, had to share, apologies and don't read unless you are exceptionally bored.
More stuff arrived today: The EVGA 1070 FE, HyperX Fury 32GB of DDR4 2400, some PWM fan splitter cables, and the temporary home of the system until my M1 arrives two months from now -- the SilverStone SG13. Also ordered an SFX to ATX bracket, so I can mount my SF600 in the SG13.
I must say, it's been almost 10 years since I've built a system. I'd just been using an old MacBook Pro, but I finally got the money and passion again, so... it's happening. What's amazing is how different things look and feel in real life compared to a 2D image on your monitor... I'd been researching stuff for months, I knew all about these components, but they are very different in real life. I'm sure that's how the M1 will feel, though I know every corner of it on paper.
For one, the graphics card -- wow, have things changed. This thing is enormous. Much bigger than I expected. And HEAVY as heck. It's like a brick. The SG13 on the other hand -- much smaller than I expected, and my expectations were informed. Since it's only $40 I expected it to be super cheap and shoddy, but no -- again, online images were deceiving. It's actually quite attractive, and the build is solid. It'll make a great spare case. The 1070 FE dwarfs the SG13 when your intuition is that it should be the opposite. Technically the former fits in the latter, but it's like a 400 pound man living in a 60 sq ft home... Can't wait for the rest of my system to get here. And of course the M1.

In general, if a card has a tall PCB, don't expect it to fit. I can guarantee this card will not fit.
