Nanoq S. 5080. 9850x3D. Air cooled. It can be done!

I've been having quite the Odyssey trying to build an air-cooled 9850x3D in a Nanoq S. Finally did it and it's working nicely so far!

9850x3D undervolt -25 PBO

AXP90x53 with noctua slim fan

PNY 5080 slim

Gigabyte aourus x870i

32GB Corsair vengeance ram

Samsung pro 2TB nvme

Corsair 1000w sfx PSU

Top fans - artic p12 argb

Front fan - thermal right h12015b slim RGB

Temps during idle and light work range from 55-60 with minimal fan noise. Gaming (RE requiem) is around 70-75. Pretty pleased with this build. I will try a few more taxing games to decide if I want to back to AIO in here.

Air cooling in SFF case - D3D GPU crashes?

I have a Nanoq S. When I first built the case, I was using an AIO. I wanted to switch to air cooling. I tried both the AXP120x67 and AXP53x90.

I noticed since switching to air cooling, I'm getting in game crashes and D3D errors. I'm wondering if it's because the cooler is blowing hot air down onto the motherboard, which might be carrying through to the PCI riser cable and maybe even the GPU?

When the crashes first started, I assumed it was a bad riser cable, so I replaced it. I still get D3D crashes (not as frequently), so now I'm wondering if there's a heat issue happening in the case. Has anyone had this happen in SFF when aircooling a 9850x3D (undervolted)?

I'm hoping somewhere in construction I didn't damage my GPU. It seems to work OK otherwise, not sure how I would test that vs other issues.

Noctua slim fan noisy?

I tried an air slimmer in my Nanoq S (atmos II 240mm). It was way too buzzy. I switched it to anoctua slim, but I'm still not impressed with the noise profile. I was hoping for something very quiet during idle/light tasks. I don't mind hearing the air move but the hum is very annoying. I have a 9850x3D and I'm going to try switching to air cooling. Just wondering if anyone with this case has any tips for AIO in case there's something I'm not thinking of with this fan.

Short USB-C to 9-pin cable for AIO LCD screen?

I can't seem to find a shorter usb-c to 9-pin for my AIO LCD screen. The one included was like 2 feet long, and the shortest I can find on Amazon is 11 inches. I just need one that's like 6 or 7 inches (that's what she said). Has anyone sourced a shorter cable without having to buy custom?

Finally got an atmos II in america!

I ordered both the regular LCD and stealth 240mm atmos ii. The stealth fits better in my case (ncase T1), and is a little quieter than the regular. They're both wonderful with a 9850x3D. The stealth came with the vrm fan which doesn't fit. I'm going to list the atmos ii on hardware swap. But I'm wondering if someone would buy the regular one with the stealth VRM fan, because I kind of like the LCD. Any Fan fans in here?

GPU support after gapping

I was able to install the pny5080 slim in my T1 case. To do so I had to Gap the GPU using risers, so the rear GPU bracket no longer lines up with the GPU screw holes. Does anybody have a creative solution for this? I have the travel bracket on the back so I'm comfortable that it's mostly secure, but long-term I would like to have it fully connected

Is this new atmos leaking?

I just opened my new Atmos cooler. There is some white residue on the sides of the radiator, but it doesn't seem like it's leaking. Nothing feels oily or greasy. Could this be talcum from shipping? Or something else? Do I need to return this? Is there a way to ensure nothing has leaked out?
