danishcake posted:Are there any goon recommendations for fan management software? I like Fan Control. It lets you set custom fan curves for pretty much any fan you've plugged into your motherboard, including the GPU fans, and the curves can be based on any temperature control, or even in relation to other fans with the Sync curve.

The Louqe Raw S1 seems interesting although expensive at $300. Seems a lot like the Evolv Shift series. I hated working in that case though and the Raw S1 seems to address one of the common issues with ITX cases. Might be a good compromise for folks that want that Corsair One look. https://www.louqe.com/raw-s1/ https://sffgeek.com/2021/02/21/louqe-shows-off-its-upcoming-raw-s1-sff-pc-case/

This was my first computer build ever right here. Back in 2009 I built a giant gently caress-off machine in a coolermaster HAF full ATX case, with one of those overbuild V8 CPU coolers. At one point the overclock I had on it failed, and I ended up resetting it to stock without knowing why. Turns out the CPU fan had failed, and while it didn't play nice with the OC, running stock that fin stack was more than enough for passive cooling. Ended up running it for several more years.

To update on my own situation: The pslate PWM cables I got were so nice that I ordered 4 more, and I intend to trim and splice the cables on my fans to use these instead of the Noctua sleeved cables. Should make for a nicer cable routing experience from the fans. Of course, this kicks the rewiring project for the pump and now fans down the road a bit, but hey.

I just got some pslate customs late last week for my M1 5800X/3080 build. They reached out to me before starting my order to say "Hey, these won't fit with the sidepanel on unless you use low-profile PCIE power adapters. Here are some options..." I already knew this but I really appreciated them looking out for their customer base. I let them know I was aware, said thanks, and linked them the exact adapters I'm using. The cables look great, hoping to rebuild my system this weekend (I want to reroute the CPU 8-pin power), pics forthcoming.

Finding a card at all was hard, but the Sentry can only accept double slot, normal height cards. It's seems most cards this gen went to a super tall 2.5 slot form factor. Ideally I would have put a 3060ti in there, but those were impossible to buy in the UK

Sounds similar to my experience, I saw it hitting 90s in stuff like Valheim, likely contributed by the 3080’s heat. No BSODs though it’s just toastier and louder than I’d like. I need to update my BIOS to get PBO2 but I’ve heard people complaining about the latest ASUS stuff.

I've RMA'd it and am waiting to see if I get a replacement, and am awkwardly trying to get another store to send me back the 5600x I barely managed to squeeze into their return window >_> Really should have tested more thoroughly before running off with that return.

I'm leaning heavily on the inadequate cooler side. I saw an uncited claim that the BS3 was made for 95W TDP, while the 5900X is a 105W TDP part. I'm not certain of the real-world implication of this, but based on what you've reported, I'm very suspect. If you can fit a better cooler, I'd look for a better cooler. The BS3 looks like it would be better for cases that don't have as much clearance as the NR200.

The 5950X (and 5800X) will hit a TDP of 142W during boost, which is pretty pretty warm especially in a SFF case. IIRC all of the Scythe fans top out around 1,100RPM at 100% PWM, so that Big Shuriken 3 may not be moving enough air. Scythe seems to make pretty good cost-effective coolers for most folks, so they get a lot of recc's around here. What's the biggest Noctua air cooler you can fit in an NR200, the NH-C14S? Noctua is worth looking into if you want to stay on air-cooling. More expensive than Scythe, still cheaper than an AIO.

BS3 is 69mm in height, you just aren't going to be able to run a 5900x full tilt with that. NR200 fits CPU coolers twice as tall so it's not like you're short on options. Afaik Scythe Fuma 2 a common pick for the case.

Yeah I have the Fuma 2 on my 5600x in the NR200 and it fits fine, both with and without the tempered glass panel, contrary to the warnings on PCPP. From research it cools as good if not better than the more expensive NH-U12A and is pretty much the best air cooling option available in that case.

I got the BR3 as a stop-gap while waiting for a T1 FormD, planning to AIO it. That never materialized and I wasn't expecting to still get a 5900x, I'll probably snap up a fuma 2 for it if I keep the NR200P/5900X long-term. In the meantime, forcing my clock at 4.0 has kept things stable most of today, no BSOD yet.

Longish term Sliger CL530 review in low effort post form: I’ve had it for 3 months now. It’s good. I feel like maybe I could have gotten away with the thinner CL520 because my EVGA 3070 XC3 isn’t all that thick. I even moved the riser slot for the card closer to the vented panel and there’s still some room to spare. But then I’d probably have to deal with a smaller heatsink for my toasty boi i7 8700. Dust is more of an “issue” than with other cases, though the simple pop-off side panel exposing everything makes cleaning pretty simple. Still in love with the industrial, no frills spartan design. Biggest con is that it’s too slightly large to fit into my school backpack. This somehow remains important to me even though I’ve taken my computer to a friends house *twice* ever since I transitioned to the form factor in 2016. I know it’s dumb. Thanks for tolerating my post!

Do you guys run chassis fans at a higher speed than fans on your cpu heatsink? Warmer weather is coming and I was playing around with my fan curves on my tu150 system. Wanted some baseline recommendations on what to do.

Yeah, I started with a Node 202, and even with a 1660 Super it ran with the heat of a thousand suns. The 3070 FE actually did alright even with the backside being covered, but as I was chasing the 3080 at the time I knew that the 202 had to go and become an HTPC because it had a hard GPU size limit as well as thermal issues. In the end I had done everything, including zip tying 40mm fans on the exhaust next to the power supply and undervolting it to all hell. At that point my GPU was hitting 80-90C. The only 3080 I could get was the beefy boi EVGA FTW3 Ultra so I ordered an NR200 ASAP and I don't think I even hit 80C now. It sucks because I wanted a smaller package but it sure is nice not having to worry about setting UV curves and monitoring the temperature.

I base my fan speeds on noise level, I run all noctua a12x25 at the same curves and the max speed they run at is 1000 rpm unless the cpu hits 90C for some reason. It never does because all I do is game and the cpu is undervolted.

I've got two fan curves: one for winter and one for summer. Both are based on noise level until the cpu hits a specific temperature and then it goes whole hog. Using noctua fans x 3 in an ncase m1. Two in the bottom for fresh air intake for the gpu, and one intake on the side near the cpu. The cpu fan doubles as an exhaust fan. Cpu is also undervolted and runs around 40-60C under 95% of conditions.

I base my fan curve on max GPU or CPU temp using Argus Monitor in an NR200 with 2 bottom intake and 2 top exhaust. CPU cooler (Fuma 2) runs on its default curve, and I manage my graphics card curve (GTX1080) via afterburner to have it ramp up steadily instead of doing the annoying thing it used to where it was quiet until it was definitely not. For the chassis fan I do max GPU or CPU just because games don't really stress my CPU so I can't tie it to CPU temp, and if I'm doing anything CPU intensive it's obviously not gonna get the GPU going so I can't tie it to GPU temp. So it's just tied to both, whichever is higher. The fans definitely run at higher speeds than my CPU cooler fan because the Fuma 2 fans are I believe really heavily RPM limited. But exhausting harder really helps CPU temps in the NR200 if ambients are high (already nearly 30c lovely) and intaking right into the GPU is also great. Not sure how it is with the TU150 and the layout there. I would expect most people to run their fans a little harder in summer if you're not airconditioning.

My fans are controlled by a Aquacomputer Octo and a coolant temperature probe. The controller attempts to keep the coolant temperature no higher than 45C, and I have a minimum fan speed set so the fans don't ever 100% turn off. I tried doing a dT/Ambient control, but between the Octo not maintaining virtual sensors while the controller software isn't running and me not really sure where to measure ambient from, I'm kinda just sticking with a "maintain this coolant temp" which might as well be the same thing because the system doesn't care what the ambient is. If ambient is making the system hit 45C coolant faster or slower, the fans will spin up faster or slower. I feel like I could do better, but I'm not feeling like doing any more tinkering right now, at least until I finish the hardware portion of my build. Should be a couple weeks for my final shipment of custom cables to arrive.

Yeah... custom cables are the way to go in the SFF space. I can't put a price on the hassle-free cable routing the stuff I'm getting from pslate gives me. And Silverstone is a major offender. My experience with the SG05 and the modular power supply I bought for it was enough to make me pass on them as a consideration for this build.

Without knowing what else you're doing, the best I can offer is: 1) You can swap the nameplate and the PSU cord extender on the back. 2) Get power supply cables that are flexible so you can take advantage of the space between the RAM and PSU to rout your 24-pin ATX cable. 3) You should get a blank front panel replacement with your kit. Depending on what you're doing, it might be worth just eschewing the 2x USB-A, 1x USB-C, and 1x 3.5mm audio jack for a cleaner internal.
