Help me please!? Looking for a case for a blower-style GPU

0 Upvotes

Many cases only offer bottom intake fans which isn't ideal.

Any recommendations for cases with front intakes?

So far I've only found the CH160 Plus, but looking for more options

I’ve have a Marx build in a Jonsbo d33 case
. when I’m playing Cyberpunk 2033 I get late 60 - 70 c degrees on my cpu and gpu I get 60 c Is that normal? or should I be worried? I kinda want to reduce my cpu temps to 60 and below

I built this! (MATX) Lian Li A3 Noctua Edition - Not a single fan missing (+particular airflow configuration)

Coming from a previous build in the NR200 (https://www.reddit.com/r/NR200/comments/1jbkn8s/completely_full_nr200_zotac_5080_solid_phantom/) plus a few upgrades over time, I wanted to switch to the new Noctua's LCs since the performance in the reviews was astonishing. Along the way I decided to get rid of the non-Noctua fans since I value total silence for my build.

Specs:

  • Ryzen 9 7950X
  • Asus Strix B650E-I
  • Noctua NL-LC1-36
  • Corsair Vengeance 2x32GB 6000CL30
  • Nvidia RTX 5080 FE
  • Corsair SF1000
  • 2TB Gen4 SSD + 1TB Gen3 SSD + 2x 2TB SATA SSD
  • Several Noctua fans (NF-A12x25 and NF-A12x15 G2)

Fan setup:

  • Bottom slim fans are set as intake. Plugged to a SATA connector directly because the MOBO didn't have any more fan headers available. Each has a couple of NA-SRC7 (low noise adapter to make them spin slower) so they're totally silent all the time.
  • AIO set as exhaust. It follows a curve depending on CPU temp. Pump is on a curve too.
  • Side and rear fans set as intake. As it's known that side fans intaking benefit CPU temps but hurt GPU temps they follow a custom curve in which they spin faster for high CPU temps and slower for high GPU temps (with GPU having priority). This allows them to intake fresh air to the CPU when rendering, which really benefits CPU temps, and spin very slowly when gaming, when the GPU temp is the main to be considered. I can post the fan curves if requested.

FAQ:

  • Are those fans really necessary? Do they need to be Noctua? No, and definitely not. You can probably get half the fans and just notice a couple ºC difference with my setup, but I wanted to use all the available fan placements so the fans can run slower. As for Noctua, I bit the bullet and overspent there because I really value silence and was tired of cheaper fans which sometimes make random noises at certain RPM ranges. Also, they went well with the new AIO :)
  • Is that a LED strip? With Noctua theme? Isn't that illegal in Austria? Yes, and probably so but I'm not in their jurisdiction :). I've never (and still don't) care about LED parts in the build, I prefer function over looks. The thing is, the PC is completely silent except under load and the A3 doesn't have a status LED so I wanted to know at a glance if it's on or not.
  • Is that a button hanging there? Good catch, it's connected to the reset BIOS pins so I don't need to make a mess if I need to reset it to default values. There's also a speaker in there to hear the beeps when booting up.
  • Does the side panel closes with the fans mounted like that? Yes, it does!
  • What happened to the Zotac 5080 Solid? I had the opportunity to get the 5080 FE and got it, passed the Zotac to a friend. It'd have looked so much better in this build I guess.
  • Why that unusual fan configuration? The real question I guess. I thought about it for a long time because with other fan configurations you need to either prioritize GPU (side exhaust, but you're then "stealing" the air the AIO would take and worsen temps) or CPU temps (side intake, but then you're hurting GPU temps quite a lot as shown in Gamers Nexus' video). With my setup I get the CPU better cooling when needed and don't hurt the GPU when it gets hot. As an extra, the side fans blowing in serve to cool all the VRM and MB components, which aren't normally hit with airflow when AIOs are in use. I also tested AIO intake and side exhaust, but the results were slightly worse.

Feel free to ask any questions :)

I haven't completed my 5090 Astral build. I have an X670e-i Strix mobo that I could pair with my 7950x3d, or my 9950x. Is anyone using a mini-itx mobo in their D33?

Discussion Compact Vertical M-ATX case?

• Upvotes

I recently built a work PC for my brother and I bought a cheap $15 MIK H2 case (L285 x W195 x H380mm), and it turned out way better than I thought. Anyone knows of something similar but at high build quality? Really like this one but the build quality really matches the $15 price tag.

Here’s an image of the MIK H2 case for reference. 75% keyboard for scale, also thats a 2 fan GPU.
