cooling

Everything came yesterday, so of course it's up and running now. My Noctua might clear a 200mm but it sure doesn't need it. No gpu on mine besides the i7 so I have a ton of open space on the top half. I have my pair of 80's actually on intake duty just keeping things moving down there. i "feel" like that is helping the m.2 nvme 970plus a bit, since it kept climbing up until I did that and closed the case up.

I'm hoping I have a crappy DP cable, 'cause it won't boot with it (hdmi is fine). I'll find out tomorrow.

I have another weird issue with a couple older sata wd enterprise hdds that I'm trying to gain trust with. I'll probably start a new thread soon if I can't figure it out.

But Lightroom is magical, and considering my old transfers never wrote much over 60ish, my workflow is going to be fantastic. It's fun to watch a progress bar again.

GREAT! what do you think of the haf xb evo. i love it keeps everything cool. its a breeze to work in. 200mm i dont need either. everything is nice and cool. i find the pair of 80's do quite a bit with keeping the air flow down bottom moving

I'm very happy so far. I am often fiddling around and this gives me line of sight and easy access. The thumb screws are perfect. I almost went with an open air test bench setup, this let's me do that and pack away in seconds. I have it on a restaurant wire storage rack and it gets all the air!

 

I do wish they would offer a couple of update options like a better front panel since it's so modular. I'm ok with a Dremel so no big deal.

And maybe a straight flat top plate although I understand that defeats the idea somewhat.

lol we think alike. i also have mine on a wire rack which is also on wheels. on bottom i have a yorkville yx10sp subwoofer, under the monitor i have a yorkville c120p and i have another on the other side of the desk. needs lots of cleaning with cables etc. i have a mackie mix5 and a focusrite solo 3rd gen with a audio technica bpsh1 headphones. i to wish they had various things for the top and the front. but i love this thing so far. i wanted something that would sit on a wire rack and not risk of tipping over. im debating between going to a custom loop but doing some research first as thats a huge investment.
