New Build: View + Ventilation
Hey everyone, I love seeing all the ingenuity that gets put into the builds in this forum, you really inspired me to restart a hobby I had stepped away from many years ago.
I work the design field, and 3D as well as large CAD models are critical to my work. I bought most of the components early last year just before the RAM-pocalypse, and at the time I was trying to build a system with headroom to eventually upgrade the GPU or CPU.
I've tried this in a few configs including vertical, flipped GPU, and even the vented glass panels. I think I'm settling on the horizontal config simply for ease of access and mobility. I've found the flipped GPU and undervolt to perform well.
I like and dislike the vented panels. If they made them with an anti-reflective coating I think that could do wonders for the part.
Lots of pics, what do you think?
Temps (load / idle):
5080: 74c / 38c
9800X3D: 75c / 54c
5080 undervolt: 825mv / 2600 MHz
Build goals were:
Thermal efficiency w/ relative silence
Fast 3D and future capacity to upgrade
Space efficiency
Water (my first AIO!)
Clean build / aesthetics
