buglord posted:I dropped in a i7 8700, paired with a Noctua NH L9i. Coffee Lake lives up to the "coffee" part of its name, because my temps while playing Watch Dogs 2 hover around 75C. I hit around 90C when playing Kingdom Come Deliverance. Hit 100C a few times when running Prime 95. Reseated the heatsink a number of times, made sure I was using the right amount of thermal paste. But im starting to think that's the compromise with ITX systems containing hot processors with little room for gigantic heatsinks.

A 140mm fan at the front would probably help a bit here.

tonic posted:So I just put together my system and it's working great-- I had one major issue during my build though. I used the Cryorig M9 cooler and, for whatever reason, the cooler mounting plate seems to sit too close to one of the ram slots and blocks me from loading a DIMM in that spot.

A sort of interesting new ITX case release: https://smallformfactor.net/reviews/cases/raijinteks-ophion-evo-tempered-glass-rgb-but-sff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swMI93IN9_Y Basically an A4 with tempered glass sides and double the volume. Much larger but can fit a lot more stuff.

Maybe? There are examples of people using AIOs for the CPU, the GPU or both on PCPartPicker (though none of the 20xx hybrids are out yet afaik): I'm 90% sure that a blower cooler is still worse than open air cooling even with an ATX PSU blocking some of the airflow.

And/or maybe move up to the new platinum SFs, the new cables are more flexible and easier to work with supposedly.

It's mostly still the same alternatives eg the SG13B or the Cougar QBX, plus cases releasing soon that were shown off at Computex, eg the Silverstone case above or: https://www.tomshardware.co.uk/coolermaster-h100-airflow-case-computex,news-60825.html

I don't see why a U9S wouldn't be fine here, it's better than the stock cooler which is itself more than adequate (not that you shouldn't build a custom loop if you just want to build a custom loop, it's just that the 3700X is a ~90W cpu with almost no overclocking headroom.)

I think that's because the A4 has a regular Type A header on the inside, if you wanted to connect an actual Type C to a B450 board you'd need something like this: https://silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=871&area=en Looks like the upcoming Asus Mini-DTX X570 board might be one of the only small AM4 motherboards with a Gen2 connector.

Seems to me like a fairly practical route would be just swapping to a slightly bigger case with better cooling potential, like the upcoming T1 or something https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/formd-t1-sidearmd-cnc-aio-9-5l.9933/

Are you sure you actually need VLP RAM? Coolers generally don't require it (notable exception being the Black Ridge with a 120mm fan underneath) because it's not a common consumer part and every photo of the Shadow Rock LP show it with regular memory.

Going by the listed clearance Scythe Fuma 2 or Noctua NH-C14S with two fans.

The U12A is overpriced anyway, I wouldn't buy it for anything. The C14S is probably equal or better performance for less, and there's the Scythe coolers etc.

32L even seems like a reasonable size when you compare it to the ITX case Asus just released https://www.asus.com/us/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG-Z11/overview/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiNnwHk_ZKs (literally 40L)

I think the next logical step for more airflow is just to do what the Dancase C4 prototype does and allow flipping the entire case, giving the GPU access to direct airflow:

Warmachine posted:To my untrained brain there are two factors to consider when trying to rate it--the amount of energy in watts, and the target temperature in C. So an ideal rating would provide something like 125W/60C, stating that this thing will keep a 125W load at or around 60C. From there you could scale based on whatever function governs the relationship. So if the relationship was linear (lol) and you had a 170W load, you could expect roughly 81C on the same cooler. https://noctua.at/en/noctua-standardised-performance-rating Llamadeus fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Jul 30, 2021 |
