#

What fan configuration is that? I cant figure it out for the life of me

#

Are all 3 rbg intake

dry karma May 3, 2024, 4:10 PM

#

no case designed that way the single is exhaust

ionic walrus May 3, 2024, 4:11 PM

#

So what 4 exhaust and 2 intake?

dry karma May 3, 2024, 4:12 PM

#

yeah the radiators are exhaust as well

#

so far no pressure issues tho

ionic walrus May 3, 2024, 4:12 PM

#

Ight then

#

Sounds like it could be problematic tho in the long run

dry karma May 3, 2024, 4:13 PM

#

meh being water cooled I doubt it this one isnt overclocked

ionic walrus May 3, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

What does that have to do with this?

dry karma May 3, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

why would it be an issue?

#

I went by the manufacture specs

ionic walrus May 3, 2024, 4:15 PM

#

Eh, dust?

#

Idk i just somewhere heard negative pressure bad

dry karma May 3, 2024, 4:17 PM

#

dust is gonna suck no matter what but its a nicly sealed case with a filter behind the intakes it shouldnt be too bad

ionic walrus May 3, 2024, 4:18 PM

#

Ok then cool

dry karma May 3, 2024, 4:18 PM

#

if I had more intake then yeah because it would pull dust into the case, The filter should catch most of it as long as I clean the filter regularly

ionic walrus May 3, 2024, 4:18 PM

#

Anyways that gpu looks pretty small in there

ionic walrus May 3, 2024, 4:18 PM

Ye

#

I dont know if i like the new gpu trend of them being absolutely giant

dry karma May 3, 2024, 4:19 PM

#

thats what she wanted so she could put figures and stuff in there

#

yeah my personal pc gpu is massive

ionic walrus May 3, 2024, 4:19 PM

#

Cool lol

#

What, girlfriends build?

dry karma May 3, 2024, 4:19 PM

#

wife

ionic walrus May 3, 2024, 4:20 PM

#

Nice

dry karma May 3, 2024, 4:20 PM

#

she said my gpu looked clunky and wanted more room in the case lol

#

thinking about doing a custom case and redoing mine

ionic walrus May 3, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

Water cool it and it wont be clunky anymore 😎

dry karma May 3, 2024, 4:22 PM

#

yeah I had concidered doing that and running an a bunch of black light tubes and make it all glow in the dark dye for the collant

ionic walrus May 3, 2024, 4:22 PM

#

Sounds pretty expensive tho

dry karma May 3, 2024, 4:23 PM

#

maybe wallmount with the tubes just everywhere like a mad scientist lab lol

#

probably will be

ionic walrus May 3, 2024, 4:23 PM

#

Yea those have started popping up in this server more and more and i like them

#

They scream pc enthusiast

dry karma May 3, 2024, 4:24 PM

#

im waiting for the other pcie cables I want that are out of stock and im gonna tweak her design a BIT MORE

#

nothing to crazy tho ill save that for when i redo my design

mossy ledge May 3, 2024, 4:26 PM

#

What case and fans?

dry karma May 3, 2024, 4:27 PM

#

Getting hot air out of the case is better for cooling than pulling more cool air in (so negative pressure is better for cooling) however this means air will be sucked in through any gaps in the case to compensate.

Positive pressure has the advantage that air is only being sucked into the case through your fans (and thus fan filters) being better for preventing dust.

There is negligible difference between push and pull configurations on coolers. Push-pull will affect your temps by a few degrees.

#

sama neview case fans are from them and came with the case pre installed as well

#

i like that the sides of the fans light up not just the fan

#

Here is a better look at the fans I really like them

#

mossy ledge May 3, 2024, 4:37 PM

#

Ok that's what I thought I have the same fans

#

I have the sama neview 2351

#

On my fans the middle of the side leds are dim, is it the same for you too?

ebon quarry May 3, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

would change it to 2 sides to intake, add 3 bottom ones for intake aswell.
would change top 3 fans to ARGB fans to match the style.
would also get a white mobo and white cable extensions (white ram too)

#

@dry karma

dry karma May 3, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

sorry was playing a game lol, no my lights are not dim

#

and i put it together how she wanted it

#

she liked the black and white but i am gonna change the cables im just waiting on them

#

rgb cables.

#

she didnt want to have too much rgb

ebon quarry May 3, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

dry karma she liked the black and white but i am gonna change the cables im just waiting o...

yeah i mean like 70% of the whole thing is white/argb so that motherboard and cables stand out

#

also bottom fans would help with a different orientation since looks like all are exhaust

dry karma May 3, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

the cables for sure, i tried to talk her into ewhite mobo but she wanted the black for contrast

ebon quarry May 3, 2024, 5:09 PM

sticks out like a sore thumb now unfortunately

dry karma May 3, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

2 intake with fiilter and 4 exhaust

#

no more fans because she is adding stuff in the case and wants room

ebon quarry May 3, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

dry karma 2 intake with fiilter and 4 exhaust

positive is best since you dont have to worry about as much dust

ebon quarry May 3, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

dry karma no more fans because she is adding stuff in the case and wants room

such as?

dry karma May 3, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

good thing i didnt build it for you i guess lol

#

stuff idk

ebon quarry May 3, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

2 or 3 bottom fans wouldnt take any room away

#

it would be fine?

copper kraken May 3, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

man those lian li fakes are really good

#

almost thought they were real

dry karma May 3, 2024, 6:10 PM

#

the what fakes?

ebon quarry May 3, 2024, 9:37 PM

#

dry karma the what fakes?

the fans you used, what model?
