The daisychaining is super useful, and as long as you keep it away from 1000rpm they’re quiet and very effective. I was going to replace the top fans with Arctic P12s, the Noctuas were for the Fuma 2

Lmao im a loving idiot and squirreled away a bunch of screws from my build in a separate drawer. I deeply regret besmirching the quality control of Cooler Master. Now it’s time for TWO rgb fans

Oh hey, Noctua A12x25s are available on Amazon right now. Downside? Not shipping until mid April. I did order 2. I’ll reuse some older fans from a prior build until they arrive. My M1 should arrive on Tuesday, and I should have everything else that I need before then.

Oh yeah, I finished my Ncase M1. I don't recommend using the EK FE block. Get the Bykski. Temps are fine, but I have serious doubts about the efficacy of the secondary radiator. That said, the GPU runs ABSURDLY cold.

The A12s seemed overkill for case fans, I'll probably chuck an extra on to the Scythe as I'm changing it to an intake and figured an extra fan there couldn't hurt.

Just posting on the off chance that anyone else with an nr200 and aorus b550i knows what the clearance is for heatsinks on the rear NVMe drive? And does anyone have a recommendation for one above the other?

I updated my FTZ01 build. It now has a EVGA XC3 3080 and an AMD 5900x running with a new BS3 cooler. Works great, temps idle in the 50's and top out around 84c on full load. Looking at 24 processors in task manager is super geeky thrilling. Build is a little loud, I wish it was a bit more silent. I might take a look at the ssdup meshlicious when it comes out.

New to the SFF scene but am looking to build a "console killer" gaming rig, its going to go in a media center hooked upto my TV so looking for something small/unassuming. I have to essentially build the system around the RTX 3080 that I managed to score, so with that being said what are some options for cases that will house these stupidly large video cards?

(Ryzen build) I’m a fan of Sliger cases, but they can be pricey. Currently I’m using a SM580. They have console style cases also. My MSI 3080 is a couple mm longer than their console case specs tho, or I would have gone for that. The Node 202 has some cpu temp issues cause of poor airflow in general. You would also have to check your gpu length against the specs. If you don’t care about that flat style of case, the NR200 is probably the most versatile case you can maybe get your hands on right now. I had my build in a Lian-Li TU 150 for a while which I loved. Stay away from the NZXT H1 as there’s a huge safety issue with it possibly being able to start a fire.

As I said in the other thread, you need to give more information. Not all 3080s were created equally, what model is it? And how big is the space in your media centre? There's the Sliger CL530 or 520 depending on the thickness of your GPU, which are the smallest 'console style' cases you could feasibly go with. Then there's a whole range of larger ITX cases in all different shapes and sizes.

Woops, it's a PNY 3080, specs say it's 317mm long (and 60mm thick) . As for physical space, it's just going to go on top of a long table'ish thing. I just want something a bit more ascetically pleasing than a tower.

Started assembling my M1. Some thoughts: Making stuff fit is a pain in the butt. It’s not too difficult, but it requires some thought and patience. I hate Noctua’s mounting system, and I’m just gonna use screws. I cancelled my 2 A12x25 fans and ordered A12x15s. Since it looks like there won’t be a 3060 FE, I feel like I’ll probably want that extra clearance. I forgot to order the 180 degree 8 pin connectors and and I can’t put my side panel on until it comes. More than anything, I can’t believe how small this thing is. My Nano S looks huge next to it.

TheMadMilkman posted:Started assembling my M1. Some thoughts: The A12x15s do good work. It's a shame you couldn't get an FE. The FE heatsink is really fantastic with the Ncase's setup, since the wide body fins in the center of the card take advantage of the direct airflow very well.

For what it’s worth, I’m waiting on reviews and pricing for the 3060s. If pricing is bad (it probably will be) and benchmarks don’t look good, I’ll spend the extra for a 3060 ti. Until then it’s an old 1060 that barely fits.

The rubber knob things for the 92 mm fan are only long enough to fit through the back hole, making them very frustrating to pull through. The 120 mm fans look a lot easier to do, so I’ll probably still use the mounts. I’m venting more than anything. I also probably did it the most difficult way possible, but did try to follow the directions in the box.

Im making a SFF PC. Which 650w sfx PSUs are well regarded and which should I avoid? My usual go to seasonic only has 1 model, SGX-650. How does it compare to say the corsair platinum rated sf650?
|
# ? Feb 17, 2021 09:15 |

No idea about the Seasonic, but Corsair SFX platinum options (and same with gold, which confusingly use the same model # as their platinum counter parts) are either 450W (SF450), 600W (SF600) or 750W (SF750 plat-only I believe)...there's no 650W option. Corsair SF series PSUs do seem to be the most popular and highly regarded SFX PSUs FWIW from what I've seen.

Comes with above average quality cables, solid warranty, nice and quiet as these things go. The last few months have seen a few 800 watt units appear from silverstone et al, but they don’t seem to be getting much in the way of attention (availability is probably partly to blame as usual)

Any nr200 owners notice a rattling from the top-mounted fans under load? Occasionally under load I’ll hear a grinding rattling sound, which stops when i place my hand or other weight on the top mesh. i’m trying to identify whether it is unique to my crummy fan or if it has to do with the mounting system/case. Also, I’m wondering if I should replace the stock rear exhaust fan (92mm I believe) with a 120mm fan, or if I should attach that fan to other side of my noctua u9- heat sink.

There's also the included cable quality, which IIRC Silverstone still uses those godawful plastic cables. But yeah, the SF750 is king poo poo of SFX PSUs. I kinda wanna swap the fan on mine for a noctua, but I also don't wanna void the warranty.

I get the same with the stock fans from the NR200P. Supposedly some people have prevented it by loving with fan curve settings to keep at certain RPMs that avoid this, but I've yet to find any settings that keep it there. I also find just kinda pressing down the top panel some can help (as far as I can tell the rattle comes from the way the top panel presses into the side panels?).

My stock fans are in the bottom of my nr200 and I have a slim Noctua (mounted with cable ties) and an Arctic P12 in the top and they're both quiet. I'm considering another couple of P12s to replace the bottom two.

This is because of the push screws iirc. Because they aren't screwed in as such and are just push pins they tend to come lose a bit. Every few days I need to pull the top off and push the fans back onto the top. But yeah id recommend changing them for something else tbh. Artic P12s are a good shout
