I build 10 month ago my wird build https://www.reddit.com/r/ncasedesign/s/zWZRwXI30f

Was really happy with it. But temps was starting getting higher.

I decided to disassemble my Palit 5090 and replace the thermal pads with ones from Thermal Grizzly. I swapped the stock fans for two 140mm ones.

I also upgraded the AIO to a 280mm model and replaced the bottom fans with two 140mm ones. However, the AIO struggled a bit to exhaust all the heat, so I designed a custom top panel to accommodate two 140mm fans. I’m quite happy with the result now: the GPU hits 65–68°C and the CPU peaks at 69°C (down from 75–78°C).

All fans run on a custom curve, capped at 1000 RPM for both the GPU and CPU.

I also fabricated new rear panels (no photo) and integrated a power button and a USB hub.

Also for my 5090 got a Thermal Grizzly wired 2

Hello, I’m currently planning a build in the m2 round black, and have a couple of cooling options to go with. I’d prefer to use an aio with a few case fans where clearance allows, but I rather top mount the radiator than side mount it, and was wondering if others have had success do that in their builds? My aio of choice is the thermalright grand vision 240 argb black, and I was gonna swap out the fans for the thermalright infinity mirror 120 argb fans; I also have some slim fans coming in soon but was hoping to do an aesthetic and power class build using those options. At worse I do also have two air coolers of great recommendations the peerless assassin 120 mini and the nh-d9l, which offers clearance and cooling per others benchmarks, but they don’t have flair y’know?

Hi,

Finished a build (kind of)

Previously ran in the m2 grater in black, but got an Astral since so wanted to upsize a little, and I have to say the silver is growing on me.

Specs:

GPU: Asus ROG Astral RTX 5090

CPU: Ryzen 9 9950x3d2

RAM: Corsair Dominator Titanium 96GB ddr5, clocked to 6000mt/s cl30

MOBO: Rog strix x870i

PSU: Rog Loki sfx-L with custom cables.

STORAGE: OS: 4tb Samsung 990 Pro

Files: 8tb Samsung 9100 Pro

CPU Cooler: Coolermaster atmos ii 240 with noctua nf a12-25 g2 fans

Extras: G2 fans (x1 at bottom x1 next to mobo, both as intake)

Hopefully someone has done this build, and would answer if anyone has installed a wireview 2 pro?

Thanks

Hello, just got all the parts for the build and it ended up looking like this.

Specs:

AMD Ryzen 5 9600x
Asus Strix b850-I
Kingston Fury 2x16gb
NOCTUA nh-d12l
WD Red Plus 12tb
WD Black SN8100 1tb
Asus Phoenix GeForce GTX 1650 OC 4gb (lol)
Be Quiet! Silent Wings 4 120mm

I’ll deal with cable management later, just wanted to fit everything first.

I’m not gaming on this, will be used mostly for multimedia storage and music for me.

So, the NOCTUA will force air to the rear, psu to top, and the fan will force air towards the bottom. My main concern is silence, temps shouldn’t be too high.

What changes would be more optimal?

Thanks!

Build 57: RTX 5080 SFF | Ryzen 7 9800X3D | 32GB DDR5-6000 | B650E-I | 2TB SSD | NCASE x NFC Skyreach 5 Mini | 1000W

Hey everyone, just wanted to share my new build. Sold my 5090 to make this build, of course with some donor parts but mostly newish as I bought parts on the second hand market as well.

Case: Ncase M3 Grater

Motherboard: ASUS B850M Plus WiFi7

CPU: 9800x3d

Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 G2

GPU: 5080 FE

Ram: 64 gigs DDR5 G.Skill Flare X5

Storage: 2TB WD Black SN850x,
4TB Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus
4TB Acer Predator GM7000 (not sure about model)

PSU: Lian Li Sp1000p

Gpu sag bracket: ZCOOI MOD Ncase 5080/5090 kit

Fans: Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 twin pack, NF-A12x25 G2 twin pack.

Undervolt on the GPU and CPU, I just followed the basic undervolt from “ImWateringPSUs,” I love his straight forward undervolts and they just work for me.

CPU temp idle around low 40’s and goes up to high 60’s in cpu intensive games, cinebench was hitting 90’s but that’s not a realistic use case for me. GPU Idle is 31 and highest I’ve seen is high 50’s.

I could have reversed the CPU fans for some cooler air from the back but I couldn’t fit the fan on side to be on top without the PSU cables pushing on the gpu. I know, a side effect of the mATX motherboard but I don’t mind it much.

Only need two minor upgrades, taller case feet and I would like to replace that horrible looking antenna with one that is on the back.
