questions. so many questions

[strong pine]

im assuming the random dangling fans are gonna be installed in the top of the case, but why install the PSU outside of the PSU shroud?

@finite torrent

would get cleaner cable management that way

[finite torrent]

Because it won’t let me install it any other way except on its side

[strong pine]

right

[finite torrent]

Goofy designed case

[strong pine]

but why install it on the outside of the shroud

not inside?

[finite torrent]

They’re installed via sata power

I got a fan controller hooked up

[finite torrent]

Oh

[strong pine]

i have the same case

the PSU is supposed to go in from the back of the case

[finite torrent]

Because it’s better for pushing air in

[finite torrent]

I have 2 psus

[strong pine]

ahhhh... that would be why

why?

[finite torrent]

Ya

[strong pine]

lol

you have a 1000W right there

[finite torrent]

I’m planning to upgrade a lot

[strong pine]

to what?

[finite torrent]

And one large psu will eventually have issues with clean electric energy

[strong pine]

theres very little hardware where a dual PSU setup is necissary

[finite torrent]

I get 550w just off my gpu

Power idle disabled

Under load

[strong pine]

right, a 4090 should be maxing at 600W

looks like you have a newer Z690 / 790 MSI board burried in there

so a 12900k / 13900k?

[finite torrent]

This 6950xt asrock oc formula does 550w on occt

12900ks

[finite torrent]

Z690 a pro ddr4

[strong pine]

oh, midly looked like a zotac 4090 cause of the round end, i see the radeon there

[finite torrent]

Gonna upgrade

For more vrm and higher power stage

Probably z790 dark kingpin with some ddr5

Don't forget to put liquid metal on the die

Didn’t forget ihs👍

[strong pine]

other PSU a 1000W too?

[finite torrent]

Ya same one

[strong pine]

well. interesting build then

[finite torrent]

Never gonna need to upgrade

Ez

[strong pine]

might have to upgrade to a 20 amp circuit

[sonic yacht]

Bro wtf

Cable management

[strong pine]

having a very nice spec PC, nice case, but not giving it the time of day to make it look nice, just is very opposite of my whole thing with PCs, lol

[sonic yacht]

[simple frigate]

That’s the case I was looking at I would’ve bought it

[fickle jay]

yeah this is pretty silly, you don't need 2 PSUs lol

hell you have the budget for it, just go get a single 1600W AXi or DP12 or something

[simple frigate]

You realize everything in this computer is not practical, right?😂

[fickle jay]

I do, but even then 2 PSUs isn't a great idea vs one very overkill PSU

we're talking someone who just dropped $200+ in T30s, they can pay the $400 for a top shelf PSU tbh

[finite torrent]

No they’re not they are specifically to cool ram and motherboard vrm since they are the hottest components

[grand beacon]

[fickle jay]

Have you considered zip tying your RAM fan on?

[finite torrent]

It is zip tied

Look closer

[sonic yacht]

wtf

[fickle jay]

Doesn't look like it. Usually it's much neater, those look thrown in there

[fickle jay]

Ok you do you, but that doesn't seem to be securing it to much of anything

[finite torrent]

What should I secure it to then cause i tightly closed it off with the aio pump

[fickle jay]

Usually you take a single fan, often not even a 120mm, and thread two zip ties through the heat spreader on the DIMMs or through the DIMM clips. It can be easier if you extend the zip ties by doubling up to make them longer.

And then make one loop above the DIMM, and one loop below, each tie threaded through 2 holes on the fan

[finite torrent]

Do you have a pic of what one would look like? I have an idea of what you mean

[fickle jay]

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Airflow-Cooling-CMYAF/dp/B00GU9UG9A/ this also works, but I'll draw it quick

Green is the fan, blue is the ram, black is the DIMM slot

[finite torrent]

I can’t do it because the 24 pin is blocking the direct path so it won’t make contact at the top

[fickle jay]

Which is why 92mm isn't uncommon to do this with

Or like... Dual 40mm

[finite torrent]

True

[fickle jay]

https://www.printables.com/model/341453-120mm-pc-computer-fan-adapter-for-10mm-offset @finite torrent this also can help, an offset bracket

Theres a few designs

Obviously your cables are kinda a dumpster fire but yeah I'd clean up the fan mount with something like this

[finite torrent]

Thanks I’ll see if it’ll work

[fickle jay]

If you have a printer or can bum prints from someone, seems like an easy fix to me 👍
