silver sun
#

hallow trail

#

#

repaste + pads on gpu

#

etc

static zodiac
#

Mines waiting for a b850m 🫡

hallow trail
#

its a nice case icl

#

i just got my 3080

static zodiac
#

Im downsizing everything

hallow trail
#

upgraded from a 1080

#

so its plenty

static zodiac
hallow trail
#

its more than enough for me

#

i play 144 hz

#

mostly comp

#

so its more than enough

static zodiac
#

Can even do 240

#

Should hold a few years easily

#

240hz 1440p

hallow trail
#

yea ik

#

i might go 1440p 165 hz

#

since i dont wanna spend tons on a monitor

#

i tried 240 hz

#

it isnt really worth imo

#

it helps ofc

#

but isnt worth the extra money

#

id rather go a 24" 1440p

#

for the same price

#

as a 27" 1440p 240 hz

static zodiac
#

This is what im downsizing from

#

Lian li a3 is so cool

#

Gigachad case

hallow trail
#

i need the wood front panel

#

its nice all black to be fair too

static zodiac
#

I wanted wood too but it was out of stock everywhere

hallow trail
#

eu too??

static zodiac
#

Might buy it separately if i ever find it

static zodiac
hallow trail
#

yea

#

its not available in eu rn

#

like barely

#

they gonna stock in a bit

hallow trail
#

i saw

#

prob gonna be later than that

#

but still

#

u could preorder it

#

and expected was 4th april

static zodiac
#

Nah i wanted it now

#

My last part is the motherboard and i have to wait till 10th february

hallow trail
#

yea ik

#

ill just get the front panel later

static zodiac
#

A620 cooler?

hallow trail
#

yea

#

its really good

#

fans are shit tho

#

they are noisy as hell

#

im swapping them out

static zodiac
#

I bought a ps120se and lf3 to test them and honestly ps120se is decent but the fans are hurrendous

hallow trail
#

its a low quality cooler

#

but fans can get replaced

#

heatsink is low quality too

#

but its nice imo

#

with some good fans its really nice

static zodiac
#

Check if theyre not actually degrading the cooling capacity

hallow trail
#

imma buy 8 p12 max

static zodiac
#

Tried p12 max on my ps120se and it was 3-4c worse

hallow trail
#

even if they are

#

it dont matter

#

these fans are shit

#

temps are amazing

#

so 4 worse isnt a problem

static zodiac
#

Because the fans were designed for the ps heatsink fins

hallow trail
#

its gonna be more quiet

#

ps120se is good too

#

its a higher quality

#

A620 is shit

#

like actually

#

but its cheap af too

#

half price of the ps120se

static zodiac
#

Id get a720 but its the price of a lf3 360

hallow trail
#

hm

#

id rather pass

static zodiac
#

My situation rn till board comes

hallow trail
#

same heatsink

#

just different fans

hallow trail
#

😭

#

got all my parts today tho

#

luckily

static zodiac
#

💀

hallow trail
#

bought a used gpu

#

shit was a pain in the as

#

ass

#

was scared it wouldnt work

#

but its working 100% as it should

#

cant be more happy

static zodiac
static zodiac
#

Its hard to buy a new gpu and retain resale value

hallow trail
#

yea no

#

prices here are just fucked

#

a 7800 xt costs 600 usd

static zodiac
#

Amd is the best when bought used

hallow trail
#

not here

#

they are expensive as fuck

static zodiac
hallow trail
#

i got a 3080 for 400 euros

#

really good price

static zodiac
#

My 7900xt was 860euros in march 2024 and now its under 560 resell

hallow trail
#

this tho

#

look at the audio connector

#

thats a dual slot gpu for reference

#

💀

#

i nearly broke the audio connector when installing my gpu

#

bc i didnt know it was this fat

static zodiac
#

Oh damn

static zodiac
#

Bro i gotta watch out for that

hallow trail
#

BUT

static zodiac
#

My gpu is 3.5 slots

hallow trail
#

my board has a low pcie slot

#

bc the m.2 is where the normal m.2 slot is

#

lemme show u

static zodiac
#

Ah it starts from 2nd

hallow trail
#

no

static zodiac
#

Not the first bracket

hallow trail
#

look

static zodiac
#

Yeah bro

#

It slots in the 2nd pcie bracket

#

Not the top one

hallow trail
#

yea

#

there isnt a top one

#

i never had a pc this quiet

static zodiac
#

My gpu needs top slot motherboard otherwise i dont think it fits

#

😂

hallow trail
#

u cant hear it in the video

#

AT ALL

#

u can hear my brother and his friend

#

through my walls

#

but not my pc

#

its on rn

#

for reference

#

no idea how i should manage these cables man

static zodiac
#

Its fine bro

#

Maybe move the psu to the top slot

#

I really want a 5070 ti or 9070xt with the 12vhpwr connector

#

Much less cables

hallow trail
#

had a hard time atleast

#

i might try again

static zodiac
#

It doesnt seem that bad tho

hallow trail
#

i thought of making custom cables

static zodiac
#

Better off by selling psu and buying a sfx one

#

sfx psus come with braided cables

hallow trail
#

and this psu is really good

#

it dont even matter that much

static zodiac
#

Thats what i said

hallow trail
#

yea

#

its fine

#

i could manage the cables better

#

but i wont look inside the pc muich

#

much

#

and isnt noticable

#

thats under 100% load

#

i never heard a pc this quiet honestly

static zodiac
#

ill probably put my fans to 100%

#

im using airpods with noise cancellation

hallow trail
#

i like my silent pc tho

#

sometimes i dont use headset at all

#

just browsing around

static zodiac
#

fan curve

#

if cpu gets above 65c then 100% fans

hallow trail
#

im using stock

static zodiac
#

same with gpu over 60c then 100% fans

hallow trail
#

why tf

#

they wont get harmed before they hit 80+

#

at all

static zodiac
#

that way when i browse its silent and when im playing sum it gets to work

static zodiac
hallow trail
#

reason to put them at 100%?

static zodiac
#

deaf gigachad

#

i was a silent psycho till now

hallow trail
#

😭

static zodiac
#

yesterday i got a pack of 5 p12 max

#

3300rpm

hallow trail
#

yea

#

P12 max is quiet at low rpms tho

static zodiac
#

flying pc

hallow trail
#

i would get P12 max for the low rpm levels

#

they are good at low rpms

#

in terms of noise levels

static zodiac
#

ik

#

anything is better than my deepcool aio fans

#

d30s are ok

hallow trail
#

fair

static zodiac
hallow trail
#

😭

#

DAMN

#

THE CURTAIN

#

at 100% fans

static zodiac
#

Why i cant open the vid

hallow trail
#

no idea

#

i recorded it on discord

static zodiac
#

Record with phone and then send it to discord

hallow trail
#

thats 100% fans

static zodiac
#

Its alright

prisma rivet
hallow trail
#

But they are surprisingly well

#

CPU is under 55 degrees

#

Gpu never spinning up

#

I can barely hear it under decent load

#

only when it’s on 100% load

#

On 100% load it’s hitting like 75 degrees Celsius

#

so it ain’t bad

#

It’s a mesh case too so the gpu exhaust out the side panel a bit

#

and sucks intake from the bottom

#

I wanted to go T30 fans but they expensive as fuck

static zodiac
#

used

#

60 euros for 3

hallow trail
#

Ain’t that a bad idea

#

I can get 3 for 85 new

static zodiac
hallow trail
static zodiac
#

so what

#

theyre new fans

hallow trail
#

still

#

but yea

static zodiac
#

so 60 is a steal

hallow trail
#

i might get a 3 pack

#

should i?

static zodiac
hallow trail
#

why not

static zodiac
#

they dont fit on your a620

hallow trail
#

ik

static zodiac
#

30mm thicc

hallow trail
#

but case fans

hallow trail
#

the 25 mm has a gap

static zodiac
#

A3 doesnt need case fans

hallow trail
static zodiac
hallow trail
#

when i opened the case it was hot

static zodiac
#

its normal bro

#

trust me

hallow trail
#

yea fair

static zodiac
#

ure using the pc lol its normal to be warm/hot

hallow trail
#

imma repaste my gpu for sure tho

static zodiac
#

its not like idle

hallow trail
#

but still

static zodiac
#

also

#

if u repaste it, the case will not be colder

hallow trail
#

ik

static zodiac
#

its still the same 3-350w of heat dissipated

hallow trail
#

but gpu temps will be lower

static zodiac
#

as long as it under 75 i wouldnt bother

hallow trail
#

ik

#

im going for silent tho

#

imma switch the cpu cooler fans fs tho

static zodiac
#

just get p12 max 5 pack

#

theyre at most 35 euros

hallow trail
#

i thought of just getting 6

#

2 bottom intake

#

1 side intake

#

1 rear exhaust

#

2 top exhaust

static zodiac
#

cant fit bottom imo

#

also its just not worth it

hallow trail
#

but fair

#

so 2 cpu cooler

static zodiac
#

its gonna be a lot of turbulence and more noise

hallow trail
#

1 rear 2 top?

#

aint that the best config

#

with the 5 pack

#

i might just get 2 P12 max

#

since

static zodiac
#

2 cooler
1 rear exhaust
1 top back exhaust
1 side intake that blows straight in the first cooler fan

hallow trail
#

my cpu fans are loud

#

i dont really need more

static zodiac
#

fs this case doesnt need fans at all

hallow trail
#

yea

#

its mainly just my cpu fans

static zodiac
#

it acts like an open bench yk

hallow trail
#

it would be a quieter build with only 2 fans too

static zodiac
#

since its all mesh

hallow trail
#

imma just get 2 p12 max

#

still gonna improve airflow tbh

#

since my current fans are shit

#

more air blowing out the back

#

from the cpu cooler

#

🤷‍♂️

static zodiac
#

idk how im gonna set my case with 3x t30 and 5x p12 max

#

😭

#

probably side mount aio

#

t30 on it

hallow trail
#

yea

static zodiac
#

3x p12m top and 1x p12m rear exhaust all

hallow trail
#

what case

static zodiac
#

lian li a3 bro

hallow trail
#

OH

static zodiac
#

y u even thnik im talking to you

hallow trail
#

3 T30 intake?

static zodiac
#

💀

static zodiac
hallow trail
#

forgot it

hallow trail
static zodiac
static zodiac
hallow trail
#

nice

#

imma just repaste my gpu

#

for lower temps

#

quiter under load

#

🤷‍♂️

#

only reason im doing it

#

would u swap thermal pads too?

#

i found a spreadsheet

#

with the exact thickness

static zodiac
#

dont bother

hallow trail
hallow trail
#

it could improve temps tho

static zodiac
#

tried that on my 3070 with correct thickness but they werent soft enough

hallow trail
#

ah fair

#

i messed up my old gpu with pads too

#

paste is simple

#

pads is more complicated

#

easier to mess up

#

i thought of deshrouding my gpu

#

then buy 3 T30

static zodiac
#

nah

#

no

hallow trail
#

hell yeah!

#

im playing dw

#

its already pretty quiet

static zodiac
#

bro the t30s are more than a 4th of your gpu

hallow trail
#

honestly surprised how quiet my gpu is

hallow trail
#

dw

#

more than half

#

💀

#

my gpu is 57 mm thick

#

LOL

static zodiac
#

Moving from this to A3

static zodiac
hallow trail
#

OHH

static zodiac
#

🤣

hallow trail
#

yea

#

that too

#

uh

#

so repaste

static zodiac
#

a fair price for a 3080 is 350 euros

hallow trail
#

thats all imma do

static zodiac
#

fans are 90

hallow trail
static zodiac
#

which country again?

hallow trail
#

400 was low

#

denmark

#

400 was in the lower end

static zodiac
#

cucked

hallow trail
#

i got it off auction

#

they are listed at like 450+

#

the only way u can get a proper price is auctions

static zodiac
#

if i sell my 7900xt i might end up with a 4080 super or 4090 if they go down in price more from ebay

#

tried dlss 4 transformer a few hours ago on my 3070 and it looks amazing

hallow trail
#

yea

#

the A620 fans are shit

#

they are noisy as hell

#

only at like 400 rpm

#

u can hear the bearings easily

#

and like a low whoosh sound

static zodiac
#

thats due to the heatsink design

#

my ps120se is locked at 1700rpm cuz im too lazy to setup fancontrol

#

got used to them

#

tho p12max at 2000rpm is quieter not even joking

hallow trail
#

its the fans

#

im telling u

static zodiac
#

restarted fans

hallow trail
#

they are low quality

#

like REALLY

static zodiac
#

thats how it is on these cheaper cooler

#

but they do the job

hallow trail
#

yea

static zodiac
#

cant beat them for the price

hallow trail
#

reason im switching the fans

static zodiac
#

current temps

hallow trail
#

I thought of getting the NZXT T120 cooler

#

and swap the fans

static zodiac
#

nonon

hallow trail
#

with p12m

static zodiac
#

😭

hallow trail
#

why not

static zodiac
#

😭 💀

#

pls no

hallow trail
#

heatsink is clean

static zodiac
#

a620/a720/thermalright coolers are peak price/performance

#

even if you take out the fans

hallow trail
#

yea ik

static zodiac
#

why not buy a used nh-d15 chromax

#

should be 60 euros or so

hallow trail
#

no idea

#

but

#

the heatsink aint bad

#

the fans just ugly ahh

#

I just found out my gpu clock speed is 1740 mhz

#

and ive been pushing it to 1800 with lower than stock voltages

static zodiac
#

its alright

hallow trail
#

1800/850 is my current

#

1740/975 was stock

#

crazy improvements ngl

static zodiac
#

my 3070 boosts to 1950/1965 at stock 1.1v and i can do that at 925mv

hallow trail
static zodiac
#

i did

hallow trail
#

oh

#

😭

static zodiac
#

just said it

#

💀

hallow trail
#

what did u use to stress test it

static zodiac
#

1100mv to 925mv

static zodiac
#

cuz its random loads

hallow trail
#

yea

#

did u try multiple games?

static zodiac
#

yhyh

hallow trail
#

alr

static zodiac
#

gonna torture 3070 on this tmrw

hallow trail
#

the one i got rn is good overall

hallow trail
#

BRO

#

I HATE MY CPU FANS

static zodiac
#

barely runs on my 7900xt

hallow trail
#

FUCK THEM

#

they spinning up when im loading a game

#

i dont want it to be loud at fucking 60 degrees

static zodiac
#

just run them 100% static and ull build tolerance to them

hallow trail
#

get to 70 and be quieter

static zodiac
#

do the setup and make a fan curve for it

hallow trail
hallow trail
#

i got a app already

static zodiac
hallow trail
#

OH

#

damn

#

rich ahh

static zodiac
#

got it used

hallow trail
#

im on 1080/144

hallow trail
static zodiac
#

540 euros

hallow trail
#

...

#

thats still oled price

#

rich ahh

static zodiac
#

i want to sell it and get 360hz 1440p 24 inch when they release

#

or 32 inch 4k used

hallow trail
#

idk if i should go 280/1080 or 165/1440

#

both 24"

static zodiac
#

240/1440

hallow trail
#

cant find one at 24"

static zodiac
#

worth saving a bit more

hallow trail
#

i dont wanna go 27

hallow trail
static zodiac
#

y not

hallow trail
#

too big

#

and lower ppi

static zodiac
#

still clearer than 24 1080

#

3440x1440 34 inch has the same ppi as 2560x1440 27 inch

#

and its enough for me

#

24 1440 has so much ppi to the point you dont even notice it

hallow trail
static zodiac
#

Titan Army P2510S

#

search for this

#

24.5 1440p 240hz

hallow trail
#

its ugly tho

static zodiac
#

black tape

#

or color the titan army logo

hallow trail
#

can u take it out?

#

like screw it out

static zodiac
#

nah

#

i mean

#

you can

#

if you want to spray paint it

hallow trail
#

i thought of that

#

240/1440p sounds crazy

static zodiac
#

it is

hallow trail
#

i really might do that

#

1080/144 to 1440/240

#

😭

#

24,5" too

#

so its gonna look nice

static zodiac
#

165hz oled is smoother than 240hz ips

hallow trail
#

how tf

#

smoother??

static zodiac
#

thats how i feel it

#

could be placebo

#

but its definetly clearer and no blur on oled

hallow trail
#

yea

#

wouldnt think its smoother

static zodiac
#

compared to a friends 280hz 1440p alienware

hallow trail
#

but its a better experience

#

ips is more than enough for me

#

im using va rn

#

😭

static zodiac
#

oled is it tho

#

my gpu is screaming hahaha

#

got 9k fps in stalker loading screen

hallow trail
#

shit

#

i been working 2 days a month

#

cant complain really

#

1080/144 to 1440/240 gonna be a big upgrade

#

wont complain about it

viscid sparrow
#

How do you like the case @hallow trail - I actually purchased the wood front version , but also ordered an AP201 and not sure which to work in

#

I know the A3 has zero wire management space, but i love the look

hallow trail
static zodiac
#

test fit with 3070 and 2 p12 max on the bottom

hallow trail
#

my mobo is 1 slot lower tho

#

sadly

#

has a m.2 slot in between

static zodiac
hallow trail
#

wait bro

#

i just realized

#

my gpu is heating up my ssd

#

...

#

its at 60 degrees

#

it isnt problematic

#

but i just realized

#

its not under load rn tho

#

hm

#

i might need some fans honestly

static zodiac
#

Nah

#

Its fine

hallow trail
static zodiac
hallow trail
#

the problem with my pc is that there is a fan infront of the cpu cooler

static zodiac
hallow trail
#

should i do 1 rear 1 cpu middle 1 side intake and 2 top exhaust

#

instead of 2 cpu

static zodiac
#

nah

#

2 cpu

#

1 side intake that blows in cpu cooler

#

1 rear exhaust

hallow trail
#

its gonna be ruining the airflow a bit tho

static zodiac
#

nah

hallow trail
#

sicne the side fan blocks some of the front cpu fan

static zodiac
#

add 2 bottom inatke

hallow trail
#

since

hallow trail
#

i cant fit fans under my gpu

#

its pulling in air from the bottom tho

#

if i got top exhaust

#

its the easiest intake

#

since the gpu fans are pulling a bit in at the bottom

hallow trail
#

i wont keep any of the old cpu fans

#

why is middle cpu cooler a bad idea tho

#

its like the NH-D15

#

just worse fans

static zodiac
#

you cant fit a side intake with 2 cpu fans?

#

if i sell my aio i might do side mounted 360mm arctic with t30s on it

hallow trail
static zodiac
#

holy cooling

hallow trail
#

its gonna be really tight

#

like no space at all

#

its gonna touch nearly

static zodiac
#

so what

hallow trail
#

wont that be bad for the airflow

#

or be noisy atleast

#

since it blocks some of the fan

static zodiac
#

no

hallow trail
#

fair

#

ill figure it out

#

would it be dumb to try and make like a fan duct for the gpu intake?

static zodiac
#

try and find out

#

lol

hallow trail
#

Crazy pc

#

6 T30s

#

with what seems like a 4060??

#

That looks like the proart 4060

static zodiac
#

4080 super

#

4070tis/4080/4080super

hallow trail
static zodiac
#

could also be 4070super or 4070ti

hallow trail
#

it looks smaller than the 4080 super

static zodiac
#

since 4070 comes with 1x8pin

static zodiac
hallow trail
#

ahh

#

ik

#

but the 4080 super proart

#

i meant

static zodiac
#

yeah theyre all the same size iirc

hallow trail
#

but yea

static zodiac
#

at least from 4070ti and up

hallow trail
#

the 4060 has the 8 pin

static zodiac
#

300mm

hallow trail
#

the side intake works for psu intake too

#

pretty nice

#

its stupid they made the black version front panel closed

#

i wanted to do front psu intake

#

sadly i cant do that now

static zodiac
#

side vent helps cpu and psu

hallow trail
#

i wish the front wasnt blocked off tho

#

i wouldve done front intake

#

for psu

#

the wood version has a front intake

static zodiac
#

remove ssd tray and put a fan there

#

or do this

hallow trail
#

wait what

#

u can do that?

#

oh there

#

u mean 3 bottom?

hallow trail
#

back intake?

static zodiac
#

yeah side intake

#

the other side

hallow trail
#

cant fit a fan there

#

the psu

static zodiac
#

imma try it next week

#

and show you

hallow trail
#

okay

#

i might just do middle fan for cpu cooler

#

it makes more sense imo

#

WAIT NO

#

I can use psu offset bracket

static zodiac
#

still need to decide on the motherboard and see if any new b850 is in stock

hallow trail
#

to get 10mm more space

#

between cpu cooler

#

and psu

#

then i can easily fit the fan

#

imma do that 100%

#

so 2 cpu

#

1 side intake

#

1 rear

#

1 top

#

with the 5 pack

#

imma do that fs

#

they aint in stock rn sadly

#

Imma redo my cable management

#

when i get my new fans

clear sapphire
#

case name?

hallow trail

hallow trail

wsp

static zodiac
#

should i get an itx mobo

#

or matx
