Good temps for a 420W load. Or are you by any chance running it under 300W:s?

Stock gpu any day on this card.. 420w enough as it is when its fully under load.

your 360 AIO will fit on the top, i'm using 2x 140 fans with 280mm rad so it's a bit tight

 

for my case i have 6x 120mm fan as intake (front & sides), 1x 120mm & 2x 140mm fan as exhaust (top & rear)

i can definitely feel the air coming out of the back & top, i tested the exhaust using incense sticks

 

all my LEDs are ARGB, but i only set them to static yellow

As long as argb supports single colours its good

 

Afraid not to get the ratio good enough for intake and outtake x)

what happens if you turn off the 3 fan on the side? and what happens when you only use the side fans and not the front? temps wise.

Is it under full load ever? Maybe in some games if 4K.

Only with certain games, and it varies between 415w to 432w.. Not sure why it goes over when its completely stock and i havent bothered to underclock / maintain stock mh core clock while making it use less electricity.. Might do that if norwegian electricity goes even more beyond expensive of what it is now

 

But for now, usually goes to 400w+ when i fold and play at the same time.. Even just light 20% folding and games seems to pull some heavy watts lol..

 

But oh man, cyberpunk at everything maxed out doing 60fps at 1440p is truly beautiful.. Until it throws you under the map for unknown reasons that is..

since my 5000d watercooling setup is front rad intake, top rad exhaust, side intake fans & rear exhaust fan

if i turn off my side intake, coolant temp does suffer a bit (around 3c)
