Has anyone else been crazy enough to try this?
I absolutely hated how my 240mm AIO looked mounted on the right side of my case. No matter the orientation it was in. Over time of upgrading my build this was the single thing that continued to drive me crazy. Recently, I’ve been looking at new cases for a build I’m putting together for my son, and I noticed a lot of modern chassis feature hidden radiator mounts.
In a haze of late-night excitement, I looked at my own rig and thought, “Why not?”
I stripped out the SSD mount and managed to slip my radiator right through the slot where the 24-pin power connector usually routes. I mounted the radiator where two 120mm fans normally go on the back panel, but here is the kicker: I took my 140mm fans from the top of the case and mounted them outside the back of the chassis to force fresh air directly through the radiator.
Honestly, I am stupidly surprised by how good the performance is. I’m running a Ryzen 7 7700X—which is notorious for running hot—but with this setup, my fan curve never needs to cross 55%. It is whisper-quiet, cools significantly better, and I’m kind of in love with the industrial look.
Has anyone else done an accidental "ghetto mod" that actually turned out amazing? Also, what other performance or aesthetic mods should I look into next?

I’ve been putting my iPhone 17 Pro Max through its paces over the last couple of weeks, running heavy benchmarks like 3DMark stress tests and some high-end gaming.

Visually, the performance is incredible, but the thermal throttling kicks in way faster than I expected for a device with this much power under the hood. It feels like the hardware is capable of absolute monster output, but the passive cooling just can't keep up with the sustained load before it dims the screen or drops frames.

For those who push their devices hard: are you noticing a steep drop-off during long sessions on the latest iOS, or are you using external cooling setups/specific settings tweaks to keep the frames stable? Curious to see what benchmarks or stability percentages everyone else is getting.

The NASA pc needed more storage for mission critical data. 3d printed from petg in 2 pieces, tool less attaches to existing screw holes.

With a lil space marine in dere too

I bought the thermal take CTE C 750 TG for my gaming build a little over a year ago. Some changes to my office set up mean I need to “upgrade” into a smaller footprint case. I am looking for suggestions, I’ve always had good experiences with thermaltake’s cases and fans. My requirements:

Needs to accommodate a 359 mm RTX 5090

Needs to accommodate an ATX motherboard

Needs to accommodate a 360 mm AIO

Should have good airflow, prefer to be able to reuse my 140 mm fans but not a requirement this case will be reused to house another device so I can keep the fans in it if I need to.

While I bought a model of graphics card that would work well in the vertical orientation – the RTX 5090 gaming trio from MSI uses a traditional heat sink cooler, I think a more typical orientation would work better for my new set up.

Would love to hear peoples suggestions

I wanted to make a spacey build without doing pure white and settled on this beast or a rig. Also first PC I've put together, super nerve racking but so satisfying to post on my first try.

So I thought a martian dust exterior/nasa white interior with orange accent colors would be a nice enough visual

Hey, Finally got all my pieces together~ This be my first build and i hope things go well.

Well if anything happens i have back up cash just in case.

The theme am going for is: Soul crystal~ there are a few games i enjoy playing were there are gems that have souls trapped inside of them. And this teal colors with pale "sea foam green, does match a few ghosties. Anyways hope it goes well.

And i'll update/post the finish results.

Built a red reactor instead of a PC.
Finally finished my Thermaltake Tower 600 custom loop build and it came out almost exactly how I imagined it.

Specs:

• Ryzen 7 7700X
• RTX 4070 Ti SUPER
• ASUS TUF B650M-E WIFI
• 32GB DDR5 6000 CL30 (A-Data XPG Lancer)
• Samsung 980 Pro 1TB
• WD Blue SN580 1TB
• Custom hard tube loop

Goal was simple:
clean tubing, deep red glow, minimal RGB chaos, silent daily operation.

Still tweaking fan curves and coolant lighting balance, but overall I’m pretty happy with the result.

What would you change next?

Nature inspired Thermaltake View 380 WS. Curved hard tubing, wood accents and minimal RGB.

It always feels like somebody’s watching me…👁️

I am a big fan of air cooling so I thought I'd try this one out. For anyone looking to add this to their tower 300 just be aware that it is heavy and does have some sag. There isnt a way to change the orientation of the screen so you have to do a little work to get the picture oriented correctly. I used a phone wallpaper and switched the orientation in paint. The built in temp readings are basically useless in this orientation as they will always be upside down. The cooling hasn't been bad. Stock 5800x runs around 34 degrees on idle and 68 to 70 playing Warzone.

Has anyone else tried this and how did you address the sag if you had any?

Soo I've been doing some testing with my brand new Dr Power 3, and the PSU I'm testing was causing me some issues (see in a different post), and while testing all the cables, I saw THIS happen on the SATA tab.

PSU in question is an EVGA 1200P3 Platinum unit.

Watch that 5V line, at around the 3 second mark.

What is going on there?

Is this just a visual glitch or should something happen that isn't happening in the clip?

It usually hovers around 4.99 and 5.00v, but sometimes they'll flip around and show either 4.00 or 5.99, like shown in the video. That's what I wanna know about.

First time owning/using one of these things btw.

Tested another PSU in my inventory and it's showing 5.12 to 5.13 consistently. Corsair TX750w bronze unit.
