Finally done fr this time I love how

[reef shoal]

is that the h150i

[trail trail]

Need more fans

[thorn frost]

yes, the 360mm with LCD screen

[reef shoal]

got the exact same one, what cpu is it cooling down?

[thorn frost]

the 7700x

[reef shoal]

ah dope mine will be cooling down a 7800x3d, hows it doing?

[thorn frost]

the 7 series CPUs will try to get to 95 Celsius no matter what, so under load (with no tweaking) every cooler is just going to have the CPU at 95

[reef shoal]

I see

[thorn frost]

some small tweaks in PBO and I got temps down to about 89C and a much better Cinebench score

[reef shoal]

oh nice

[thorn frost]

it's definitely something to try to mess around with and optimize

[reef shoal]

I'm pretty scared to mess with that stuff but ill try 😭

[thorn frost]

me too, just look up a guide on optimizing your CPU in AMD Precision Boost Overdrive using the curve optimizer, so you won't have to overclock it

[reef shoal]

cant OC the 3d cpus anyways

[thorn frost]

oh yeah I forgot about that

[supple sierra]

What case is that?

[warped geode]

What is that mobo name please

[thorn frost]

Phanteks NV7

[thorn frost]

It's just a normal MSI Pro B650-P Wifi, nothing special with it

[sterile bolt]

fanception

but this looks fuckin neat so nice

[reef shoal]

is it the angle or is that case REALLY fucking big

nvm its a full tower

[wet zodiac]

6950XT best bang for buck wqhd card imo

Bought one for 660€ today

@thorn frost i also bought the 7700X lol

[warped geode]

I also have a 6950xt

[thorn frost]

yeah it's fucking massive and I love it

[thorn frost]

absolutely, especially when you can get a great deal on it

[still birch]

so many fans i love it

[thorn frost]

tyvm

[still birch]

like literally ALOT of cooling fans

[thorn frost]

yeah that's why I bought them as cheap as possible 😭

[still birch]

i mean they look sick

[wispy pivot]

what fan are those?

[wet zodiac]

@thorn frost did you need an extra support bracket for the 6950XT?

[thorn frost]

no, there wasn't that much sag for this specific 6950xt, my case did come with one though so I installed it

[thorn frost]

they are cheap thermalright fans from Amazon, ARGB but only 3 pin so no PWM

[wispy pivot]

ohh damm really? i was thinking about buying those but i didn’t think the rgb was that good

ARGB and pwm or the only cable they have is ARGB? idk that much about fans lol

i know that argb is for the lights and i thought pwm was to turn the fan on

[thorn frost]

they got 2 cables coming off them, one is an ARGB and one is Power, they don't have PWM so you'll have a less specific fan curve. They have ARGB but how well they work seems to depend on Mobo software, my ASROCK did really good with them but my MSI can't make any warm colors, that's why I went purple instead of Orange for my color scheme

[wispy pivot]

im going for purple purple too

that’s alright i think i will buy those

[thorn frost]

yeah super cheap and not bad tbh

[wispy pivot]

wait since they don’t have pwm, how do u daisy chain them?

[wanton cipher]

you want some computer with that case

[outer granite]

@thorn frost how r the thermalright fans working out? loud?

also, they have pwm fans

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BKP9BZZ9/

bro look at this nv7 build

[thorn frost]

not bad tbh, they do get loud because I set a ridiculously aggressive curve, but I know when I tune them to be quieter they aren't bad at all and the thermals aren't much worse

[thorn frost]

those fans alone are like $200 😭

[outer granite]

how do i find a good curve? and how loud are we talking? ig its hard to describe lol

[outer granite]

ik brooo

i might get p12s, do you think theyre much better than the Thermalright TL-C12CW-S?

[thorn frost]

like PS4 loud, taking off into orbit
