Leopard

What's the load on the CPU while the game is running?

Case?

Thanks for the reply. I didn't check, trusted the manual

Thank you. I will have a bit of time today to do some CAM/AB/SpeedFan testing.

Got it, thanks! I will try to run all at max rpm and watch temps and act accordingly. Does running fans at max rpm constantly hurt them in the long run as opposed to running at 60-80%? My gaming sessions are usually not more than 1-2 hours straight, once a day or so.

Thanks for the reply! My radiator is 280mm which can't be top mounted in this case

Hey, Have been struggling with fan-related topics and wanted to ask for advice. I have the current setup PCPartPicker Part List CPU: Intel - Core i7-9700K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor ($364.99 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: NZXT - Kraken X62 Rev 2 98.17 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($139.89 @ OutletPC) Motherboard: Gigabyte - Z390 AORUS PRO WIFI ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($189.99 @ Amazon) Memory: G.Skill - Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (Purchased For $0.00) Storage: Samsung - 970 Evo 1 TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($169.99 @ B&H) Video Card: Gigabyte - GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11 GB WINDFORCE OC Video Card Case: Fractal Design - Meshify C ATX Mid Tower Case ($89.99 @ Walmart) Power Supply: Corsair - RMx (2018) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply My fan configuration is 2 x 140mm NZXT fans connected to the pump, front intake. 1 Dynamic X2 GP-12 fan connected directly to MB, rear exhaust 1 Dynamic X2 GP-12 fan connected directly to MB, top exhaust (in the far back, if it makes any difference) My temperatures are Idle - 40c both. Gaming - CPU peaks at 52c and GPU between 78c and 83c. My questions are 1. In terms of fan quality, will buying "better" fans make any significant difference in terms of cooling? 2. In theory, will another exhaust fan at the top make any difference? 3.I feel a bit lost in terms of controlling fans. There are GPU fans, fans on the radiator and fans connected directly to the motherboard. Do you control each of them individually? Does the motherboard takes care of it's own fans? I tried MSI AB for GPU related fan curve and CAM software for the rest, but it seems like CAM can only control the pump and the radiator fans. Will different fan speeds of exhaust and intake at the same time affect performance? I mumbled a bit, you can feel my confusion, sorry about that. Thanks!!

Working for a software company. Developers get an iMac and a MacBook Pro to work from home. Rest get a MacBook Pro.

I am gaming at 1440p 144hz, not sure how hot they will get Thinking about another case but can't find anything as sweet as Meshify C. Thanks a lot!!

hey, thanks! I was watching this video - which claims front mounted radiator with an open shroud GPU is actually cooler. The case is not the same so it's probably a bit different.

Thanks! You suggest mounting top since circulation is better? or since it will hurt the GPU performance being too close? Just trying to understand reasoning and learn

Thanks. The GPU I was thinking about is 267/269, so I am guessing it will be okay.

@Slottr I might got it wrong, since I didn't actually try it - just read what people experienced. I guess since they are tall (=high profile. questioning my english now..) it will be hard to properly manage the pump? Thanks mate!

Hey! I have been planing my first build for a while, with the help of you guys. My current build looks like this PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel - Core i7-9700K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor ($409.99 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: NZXT - Kraken X52 Rev 2 73.11 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($147.79 @ OutletPC) Motherboard: Gigabyte - Z390 AORUS PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($181.92 @ Amazon) Memory: G.Skill - Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($129.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 120 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($110.84 @ OutletPC) Video Card: EVGA - GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11 GB XC GAMING Video Card ($1193.99 @ SuperBiiz) Case: Fractal Design - Meshify C Dark TG ATX Mid Tower Case ($91.98 @ Newegg) Power Supply: Corsair - RMx (2018) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($99.99 @ Newegg) Total: $2366.49 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-03-10 04:14 EDT-0400 The problem I am facing is where to mount the radiator and fans. I simply love the Meshify C and would like to keep it if possible. Options 1. Mount it on top. Seems like a good idea but from reading across LTT and PCPP, the Trident Z has a high profile which will make it almost impossible. I already own the memory by the way. This is why switching to a low profile ram makes it harder. 2. Mount it on front. According to my calculations, the maximum size for the GPU is 284. (315 base + 25 base fan) - 26 (aer p fan) - 30 (radiator). The shortest 2080ti (not WC) is 267mm (ASUS DUAL) which leaves about 17mm (15 for EVGA) space between the GPU and the radiator (or fans, depends). How much space do you really need between the radiator and the GPU? will it affect performance? I have been reading about people removing the plastic web-like from the front panel, but I thought the plastic supposed to block dust coming into the fans. What do you think? Not sure there is a magic solution which is not replacing one of the parts, but I like them so much Thanks!

Hey! My build is almost complete, missing a CPU cooler (and some fans). I am not going to do heavy overclocking and I do care about aesthetics. Therefore, I am leaning towards AIO water cooling for the CPU. RGB is more than welcome - since I am getting probably another rear RGB fan.
