I gave up trying to buy a 3070 and bought a used 2080 for $450 that had a busted fan. Seller even included a Kraken G12 mount and an 240MM AIO.

If you want to take a picture of your case, it would make it easier to find the model. That would make it easier to figure out where to put fans. Also poo poo, the good Doctor is right. Three fan headers is pretty bad.

The fan headers on your motherboard can handle up to 1 amp. As long as you stay under that total you could potentially put as many fans as you want on splitters - the amperage of each fan will be listed on the back of the fan hub. The front, bottom fan mount isn't going to help much. It's so blocked off by the drive cage that it's going to provide minimal airflow. A better choice might be be to put an intake at the bottom of the case pointed up, using the mount in front of the PSU. How useful that is depends on how much cable clutter there is in that exact spot. If you do this you might want to add some height to the case legs using those foam furniture slider things. The major advantage is that it's going to be blowing cool air straight at the GPU which will help a lot. Alternatively, you could try a negative pressure setup by putting exhaust fans in the top of the case pointed straight up, and replacing the PCI slot covers with more ventilated ones (they're cheap, thankfully). With sufficient negative pressure, the GPU fans will start pulling air in from the unused PCI-slots. This is going to pull in more dust, though. grack fucked around with this message at 04:53 on May 23, 2022 |

Unlucky7 posted:The more I think about it the more I think I should make this a weekend project. Like, if I am going to do this I may as well get one or two more new fans or try that setup you mention. If I am going to do this I may as well do it right, you know? My suggestion to start would be to put one 120mm intake on the bottom case mount. You need to make sure you clear as much cable clutter as possible so there are no obstructions. This will give you the best "bang for your buck" upgrade as it will provide cool air straight to the GPU.

You may as well try it since you already have the fan installed.

Saturnine Aberrance posted:I could get an external caddy for it, i just didn't really want yet another peripheral hanging off it. I only use it for ripping blu rays, so it's not a huge deal I guess, just obnoxious. You couldn't just stick the drive in a drawer when you're not using it?

Saturnine Aberrance posted:The Torrent is obviously very tempting if I did decide to get an external 5.25 cage, problem is I also already committed to an enormous 220mm power supply (thanks to a very good deal), and the roof of the torrent supports a max of 230 - doesn't seem like a fun time managing cables, if it even *actually* supports one that long. Meshify 2 could still be in the cards though, but it's still case + $50-60 into the external drive mount, when I could get a Define 7 with a built in mount, even if its design is a bit out of modern style at this point. The Define 7 has mediocre-at-best thermal performance and you're going to put a 3080 in to it. It's really not a good combination.

It's not that Fractal *can't* make a good airflow focused case (ex. Torrent series), it's that the Define series has always been more about low-noise than anything else. There are still some cases that support optical drives and have at least partially mesh front cases, but they're rare. Phanteks has a couple in their Enthoo lineup, as well as Cooler Master.

Pfft. If you aren't already running a separate PSU for every PCI-E connector I don't know what to tell you.

Racing Stripe posted:I built a new PC but I kept my own case. I have a Radeon RX 6700 XT and a sound card, and with the placement of the fastest PCIe slot (where I installed the GPU) there was only one option where I could install the sound card, which was very close under the GPU. There is maybe 1/4 inch between them, which gives the GPU fans not a lot of clearance for intake. Is that a potential problem? If you have room in your case you could get a PCI-E 1x riser cable and move the sound card down a few slots.

What's up fellow "I strapped a pair of 120mm Noctua fans to my 2080's heatsink so it would run quieter" Goon  Instead of trying to run the fans off of the card, I went the much more expedient route and plugged them in to an unused motherboard header. I then used Fan Control to set a custom curve based on GPU temps.

Paul MaudDib posted:there were plenty of people baking their AMD GPUs in those days too, like Radeon 7850 and stuff were of the era. Even today you'll have some people who get space invaders after enough years, whether from failing memory module itself or solder (could be either). It still happens. God, I had a 7850 that I had to bake on two separate occasions. Worked fine for like, a year after each episode. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work a third time.

K8.0 posted:Virtually every cable I've seen appears to have the melted terminals pushed back through the housing, which has always pointed to a problem on insertion. If it's not happening with FEs, it's probably because Nvidia used a better housing that holds the terminals in place more strongly, or perhaps there are tighter tolerances so it's impossible to shove it in at enough of an angle that the pin starts driving the terminal backwards. Nvidia supplied all of the connectors to AIBs

Does it come with a case large enough to actually fit the card? That should be a bundle you could buy.

SourKraut posted:So did Billet even originally ask for their prototype to be reviewed? So far, it seemed like they were simply interested in getting it some initial media coverage, and thought LTT would be a good option. And then Linus turned it into a review. And looking at a few other things now so far, it seems like that’s what often happens. But why does everything need to be a review? 1. Billet offered to send the prototype attached to a card for LTT to play with, as well as custom machined fittings. 2. LTT accepted 3. Billet sent the prototype water block and fittings attached to a 3090 TI, the card which for it was intended. 4. LTT took the prototype off the 3090 TI, put it on a 4090 (which it doesn't fit), had a pair of employees that had little experience doing water-cooling do the build, and then slagged it publicly. 5. Billet asked for the prototype and card back. LTT said they would ship it back 6. LTT auctioned the prototype off without telling Billet 7. LTT told Billet afterwards that they had auctioned off the prototype 8. Billet asked for compensation. LTT stopped communicating 9. GN posts video 10. Two hours after video is posted, Linus emails Billet offering compensation 11. Linus posts a long whiny rant about it 12. LTT has yet to actually pay compensation 13. LTT still has Billet's 3090 TI that they also haven't sent back either. Full timeline of events so far, from Billet. This has taken ~9 weeks from when LTT originally got the card and water block.
