My temps are at 100c

Hello, my computer’s temperatures were suddenly running extremely hot. I started receiving errors indicating that the PC was overheating. So, I purchased some Arctic MX-6, 8G. I applied it in an X shape on the CPU, but it is now running at 100°C right after booting up. So, I removed the thermal paste, reapplied it, and the temperatures are a bit better at startup, at only 90-95°C. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I still have plenty of thermal paste, and I noticed that this AIO from Corsair is not installed properly. So, I’m going to reinstall it so that the tubes are at the top. I’m not sure why this is installed this way other than the person who installed it didn’t know any better. Any advice on how I should put the thermal paste on? I have never done it before.

Tower 300 Optical drive placement.

I have recently started collecting CDs and ditching spotify, so now I need a way to fit a slimline optical drive from an old laptop into the PC. I highly prefer *in* the case because I already have enough stuff on the desk.

I will take recommendations for certain drives if its required for a certain idea to fit in the case. I should have working 3D printers in the near future so printed solutions are good.

Yes, i googled already and found nothing helpful.

Thank you guys for any ideas 😃

First loop ever in the Tower 600

Built my first custom waterloop in the tower 600 and BOY was it an experience haha 😂. This case and I have a love hate relationship - once I think I’ve figured something out another issue pops up. But I’m glad I got it done even though I’m only using a single 360 rad. So far temps are good, and I am seriously loving this case after thinking for years it was ugly.

I love thermaltake though! Ct120 ex ARGB fans are the best and I use them in every single build. Can’t beat the colors either. 🩷🩷

Tower Users - Which GPUs run fine I/O up, and which ones don't?

I'm trying to gather data from people using Tower cases to see which GPUs work well in the vertical orientation (I/O up) and which ones struggle with temperatures.

I am currently using the PowerColor Hellhound RX 9070 XT, and I've noticed that it runs noticeably hotter hanging vertically. From what I've read, some GPUs seem perfectly fine in this orientation while others experience higher temps. I have switched to moving the case horizontally on the stand but it takes up more space and not a fan of how it looks. Looking into swapping gpus, so hopefully you all can help make it easier.

If you could please share:

  • GPU model (brand + specific model):
  • Core temp under load:
  • Hotspot temp under load:
  • Fan speeds:
  • Any undervolt/overclock
  • Screenshots would be appreciated

Thank you!

Room Temp’s from PC

Hey all,

I own a pretty beefy desktop pc with an RTX 4090 ti, intel i9-13900k with 32gb’s of ddr5 ram. I know some of that doesn’t matter here for what I’m asking, but recently more room has been exceeding 86-87 degrees with the AC set to 70. To compensate I purchased a bionaire 2 way window fan blowing outwards as well as a desk fan blowing the exhaust from the PC towards the fan to try and keep the heat exhaust from continuing to heat up my room. Well, come to find out I just got my electrical bill back since trying to compensate for the heat and my electrical bill went from about 400 dollars to 600 in one single month.

Really trying to figure out what most folks do or take any recommendations for reducing the room temp from the heat generated from my PC without blowing 200 dollars a month on cooling.

Thanks.

Almost got my new build ready

In the middle of a theme build but sadly vertical mount had to ruin the clean look by not providing enough room for the capture card so i had to come with a workaround now i am waiting on the last couple of parts to finish the build mostly fans ram and the lcd panel becouse i got a faulty kit of ram when it arrived

12vhpwr cable melted on Psu and thermaltake support is useless

Last week on Saturday I was playing apex legends with my friend normally and my pc shutdown, it happened twice I decided to check the cables, I was lucky my gpu was ok but the cable melted on the Psu, I tried to reach out TT via their page and the only way I was able to do it was with the stupid form they have, one week and half later and I haven’t received any response, not even the case number

Thermaltake Tower 300 AIO - 420mm, white and with screen

I'm looking for a 420mm AIO cooler (i7 13700k) for a Thermaltake Tower 300 case. I'd like the cooler to be white if possible. As quiet as possible. And ideally an LCD screen. Any suggestions?

Thermaltake 600 RAM cooling abilities.

After questioning the RAM cooling from the side fan near the RAM on the Tower 600 case, I decided to test out an actual RAM cooler, this one is from Thermalright, the MC-2. It does look great. RAM is at 1.45v, CL28 6000hz.

Without the RAM cooler, I was at 35c temps while gaming.

With the cooler, I am still at 35c temps. Edit: The fan speed is on the same hub/profile as the GPU fans, about 75% fan speed when gaming, GPU is 45c.

Just sharing the phenomenal talent that went into the Thermaltake Tower 600 design. That fan near the RAM actively cools the RAM enough. Thanks Thermaltake!

Edit; further review on measurements with this case:

The Thermalright MC-2 fits almost perfectly between the Arctic Freezer III VRM fan, and the 27mm Arctic P14 Pro fan. There is only a couple millimeters of space on both sides, barely. I used the clamps that came with it, the riser hardware lifts the cooler up higher, which will work with taller RAM sticks. I did not expect it to fit so perfectly.

TTRGBPLUS 3.08: memory leak

/PSA:

We all already knew this but, once again the latest version 3.08 of TTRGBPLUS is an even bigger mess. In my system it keeps on gobbling up memory up until 1.3GB... ..and beyond if you have the patience for it. After a few hours everything crashes because the system has run out of swap space. Never thought I would ever see that error again after 2005.

3.06 is steady at 271MB memory usage.
Since 3.07 cannot rotate displays (A much needed function especially in a tower300/600) my advice is to use 3.06.

/end PSA

funny: Thermaltake has an TTRGBPLUS subsite at https://ttrgbplus.thermaltake.com/

But the latest version posted there is 3.07.

on https://www.thermaltake.com/downloads you can find 3.08 if you want to experience this first hand.

RTX 5080 Vapor Chamber in Thermaltake Tower 300 (I/O Up), any long-term experience?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently deciding between an ASUS TUF RTX 5080 and a Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 5080 for my Thermaltake Tower 300. As you probably know, the Tower 300 mounts the motherboard rotated by 90 degrees, so the GPU sits vertically with the display outputs facing upward. I've read a lot about vapor chamber orientation affecting some GPU coolers, but most discussions are about older RTX 4080/4090 models or are purely theoretical.

I'm looking for real-world experience from people running a vapor chamber GPU in the Tower 300 (or Tower 200, since the GPU orientation is identical). For context, I plan to run the GPU at around 320–330 W (slight power limit, no heavy overclocking).

Thanks! I'd really appreciate first-hand experiences rather than speculation.

Adding more fans into Tower 600.

I'm wanting to add more fans onto the left side of my case. What fans would you recommend? I have an ATX motherboard in the case so getting wires fed into the left side seems a bit of a tight squeeze. I'm also looking into the possibility of new wires; I would love for them to be thinner/low profile if possible so I can fit the fans in. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I love my tower... towers!

The Tower series is not just for Aesthetics. You can build some serious workhorses in them too! The tower builds are the backbone infrastructure of my nonprofit organization.

...

Specs

Tower 600 build "Main NPO workstation":

Mobo: Gigabyte B850 AI TOP

CPU: Ryzen 7950X

RAM: 256Gb crucial Pro 5600 ( yes it actually runs at 5600 "Expo 1" incredibly stable- 0 errors under extreme 97% capacity OCCT stress testing 🤯)

GPUs: 2x RTX 6000 Blackwell Max-q (I have two of the workstation edition cards as well that have been in the tower 600 in the past but right now they are in the "twin backup node")

Storage: 2tb gen 5 nvme, 4tb gen 4 nvme

PSU: AsRock PG-1600G

Case fans: 3D printed rtx 4090 replicas (I call them my jets, they flippin' scream if they need to), stock (awesome) thermaltake top exhaust fans.

Tower 250 build "SuperNas/SNAS":

Mobo: Minisforum 790S7/BD790 class

CPU: UNLOCKED "minisforumVOODOOmagic" 7940HX (cpuMark score> typical 7945hx)- I cannot recommend Minisforum all in one integrated motherboard options enough, they exceed every single expectation you could possibly have for that kind of platform in my experience.

RAM: 64gb Crucial so-dimm kit

NO dGPU, instead a 16PORT SATA HUB installed in the pciex16 slot

Storage: 81tb-ish total, 4x14tb WD Ultrastar hdd's, 1x24tb Seagate barracuda, 1x 1tb samsung pro gen4 nvme "worker drive", and 1x 128gb TrueNAS boot drive

Thermaltake made an awesome case family to build in.

RGB doesn’t work on PSU or case anymore.

It used to work but it doesn’t anymore. I checked the BIOS and it’s fine, all other RGB is working I press the button on the case and it doesn’t do anything. I downloaded the Thermaltake RGB Plus app and it doesn’t enable it either.

The Tower 600 Matcha Green Whitebuild

Finally I got my hands on the Tower 600 in Matcha Green. I wanted to transfer my Whitebuild so much in this case and now i‘m finally done!

Love how it turns out, really in love with the colour combo of Green, Black and White.

AX700- AX100- AX100; 4 qty 560mm radiators - 1 qty 280mm mm

For reference I designed this around using dual loops - gpu being xt45 (560mm) ut60 (560mm) and ut60 (280mm) with 2 pumps and 1 reservoir

Gpu loop was supposed to be xt30 (560mm) and ut60 (560mm)

The place I ordered the radiators from sent the monsta 560mm radiators (80mm) thickness - instead of the 560mm ut60 (60mm) thickness radiators.

Needless to say 2 monsta 560mm radiators fit inside the bottom chamber and still have room for drain tubing to have valve at the front of case and drain exit at rear of case.
