I'm having a tough time choosing a case

#

3090 strix and 5950x build, arctic freezer II AIO for CPU, no custom loops

#

I'm down to the Cooler Master C700M, Thermaltake View 71, Be quiet! Darkbase Pro 900 Rev 2

Td500 mesh/P500a/Lancool ii mesh @drowsy grail

#

:)

drowsy grail Dec 25, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

Are those all full tower?

#

And why are you recommending those in particular?

elfin trout Dec 25, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

Uh, is there a particular reason for full tower?

#

Good airflow

drowsy grail Dec 25, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

I like them

#

Plus, generally better thermals vs. midtower cases

elfin trout Dec 25, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

Hm, P500a would probably be classified as full tower

#

Uhh

#

The reason I like them is because they're chart toppers

#

In terms of thermals

#

I don't really know about full towers having better thermals than mid towers though...

drowsy grail Dec 25, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

Well, there's more space for circulation, it's pretty obvious lol

#

plus they can accommodate 40mm radiators easier with a fat GPU like a 90 strix

elfin trout Dec 25, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

You also have less control over where the air is going

drowsy grail Dec 25, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

just depends on the fan setup

#

that's easy

elfin trout Dec 25, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

Is 3090 strix hybrid?

#

Can't think of the word, but like air current

drowsy grail Dec 25, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

It is not hybrid

elfin trout Dec 25, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

Oh you're just talking rads in general

drowsy grail Dec 25, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

yea

#

strix cooler is a beast, so I don't need a custom loop for it

#

but I still like the freedom and looks of a full tower case

#

I really like the c700m, but it's pricy

elfin trout Dec 25, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

ooo

#

Lucky for us

#

all of those cases have GN reviews

#

so let's dig through the thermal numbers

drowsy grail Dec 25, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

trust me, I've been up and down them already

#

lol

#

But his testing methods don't apply to my decision

#

he didn't use an AIO on the cpu's

#

they were all air cooled tests, so any of these cases will probably be fine

elfin trout Dec 25, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

hm?

drowsy grail Dec 25, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

jay just built an amd machine in the c700m, and he had trouble mounting a 420 mm radiator on the top, yet other's did it. So I don't know...

elfin trout Dec 25, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

Using an AIO vs Air cooler doesn't change much for airflow imo

drowsy grail Dec 25, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

Well, not for the CPU, but the GPU remains air cooled, but I have a strix cooler

elfin trout Dec 25, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

Hell, let's just look at GPU torture torture test then

drowsy grail Dec 25, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

so it's hard to extrapolate

proper peak Dec 25, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

I was looking for manual for DIYPC Solo-T2-R but could not even access the website. Please post if you have any sucess.

elfin trout Dec 25, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

I guess it's a bit harder to extrapolate for aio thermals, but GPU thermals would apply

#

But imo CPU thermals for aio and air cooler are affect by the same airflow patterns, so it would apply

drowsy grail Dec 25, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

Well, the CPU heat is dissipated through the radiator

#

in air cooled, the cpu heat is part of the overall circulation inside the case

What are the main differences between iCUE 220T RGB Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower Smart Case — White and 4000d airflow

elfin trout Dec 25, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

My Opinion is this: Both Air cooled and AIO (top mount, as usual mount) gets fresh air from front intake, and the warm air goes out back/top.

220 doesn't have great airflow, and the 4000 is a bit larger i think and much better case

#

@limpid cove

#

I have used the corsair 4000d white and it does not really get dirty

#

they are just hard plastic, and they actually show less dust than black cases

#

most scuffs show more on black anyway

#

@mellow timber what MOBO and GPU are u useing?

I personally like to have a case that is just big enough for looks

Anybody know anything about poweron times for PSU's? I'm currently looking at the Superflower Leadex III, which a reviewer said was very good except for the high poweron time (250ms), which could render it incompatable with some motherboards

fallow cairn Dec 27, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

opal night B3, G/G1 G5 GD are good also

nuh uh

#

so many wrong units

#

those aren't even great

#

B3- DC-DC + LLC on >= 650w units, OPP is set too high, the unit gets too hot (missing a side cap), and inrush current is really bad (worse than BQ), sleeve bearing, and blew up in Aris' testing and is Hot garbage.

#

EVGA G3 is a good unit, its protections are set very very poorly to the point where it can melt.

#

G1 isn't a good option considering the price most of the time. It is built off similar to the GQ platform which like I have explained before, is not good at all for its price (OTP could be hit or miss depending on wattage of unit). When crossloading the 5v, it moves to 2% tolerance

#

G5 line, didn't pay much attention to the fan speed profile, so the 750 G5 is noisy. Moreover, its vampire power exceeds 0.25W with 230V input, so it fails to meet even the lowest Cybenetics efficiency standard (ETA-S).

#

GA is built off the Andyson PAD01 platform (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gvdzGayzU0KNCSpKu9BL44_Mveh8tRhU) which is DC-DC + LLC. It claims to have all the protections, but they're not tested and is on the list of not to be paired with ampere

Excuse me

#

Do you mean inrush current?

#

And which review is this?

#

Or do you mean hold up time

#

Hold up time is measured in milliseconds

minor portalBOT Dec 27, 2020, 8:27 AM

#

Deckfy#5664 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

fallow cairn Dec 27, 2020, 8:27 AM

#

ok I keep forgetting

#

And the weird thing is Hold-up time represents the amount of time, usually measured in milliseconds, a PSU can maintain output regulations and the higher is better

#

I think he meant inrush current but who uses milliseconds as a unit for inrush current?

#

This reviewer you saw doesn’t seem to know what he’s doing

scenic lance Dec 27, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

@fallow cairn he said power on time, and I think that’s what he meant since he used separate benchmarks for inrush current and holdup time. Apparently most psu manufacturers try to aim for a power on time under 100ms?

#

📎 image0.png

#

Apparently this is the one and only worry he had about the psu but I have no idea what this benchmark means lol

#

I guess it is referring to amount of time until a specified load delivery from 0 but I don’t know what it means when the guy says it could mess with motherboard compatibility

#

I’m even more confused now the online breakdown on techpowerup mentions the power on time for the ARGB version of the psu but not the normal kind even though they’re the same thing

Out of the 3 I would say the Fractal Design Meshify 2 has the best airflow since the entire front is a mesh front pannel allowing the most air through the front. Sure you can mount some fans on the top but better to have a good amount of air coming in from the front since it will be going directly over the GPU.

grim violet Dec 28, 2020, 11:10 PM

#

well all 3 have an open mesh front

#

PWM is the ability to control a fans speed correct? If I were to have 6 PWM fans (3 for front intake, 2 on the top for outtake, and 1 on the rear for outtake) would I be able to group them and control only certian ones speeds? Like make the front 3 spin at 1700rpm while the back spin slower

opal night Dec 28, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

motherboard probably won't have that many fan connectors

#

You'll need a PWM fan hub

#

Most motherboards only have 4 fan connectors, sometimes less

#

But with a hub or two, you can control them individually, yes

grim violet Dec 28, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

okay

#

and I assume this hub would need to be special to the brand?

opal night Dec 28, 2020, 11:17 PM

For just speed or RGB too?

#

probably overkill for just a couple fans though

grim violet Dec 28, 2020, 11:18 PM

#

and side question which fans would you say are better?

#

https://www.newegg.com/phanteks-ph-f140sk-bbk-pwm-case-fan/p/N82E16835709164 or https://www.newegg.com/arctic-cooling-acfan00125a-case-fan/p/N82E16835186221

opal night Dec 28, 2020, 11:19 PM

#

I would avoid the Arctics because they have a fluid bearing inside. The seals are very syusceptible to dust and once the seal is gone, the fluid leaks out and the fan is ruined

grim violet Dec 28, 2020, 11:19 PM

#

the phanteks are more expensive but in terms of cooling, speeds, and sounds idk

opal night Dec 28, 2020, 11:20 PM

#

Go with Sealed bearing or Magnetic Levitiation bearings

#

Back to the fans

#

For the hub, you'd put the front fans in the hub and connect to motherboard port

#

For the other fans, just connect to motherboard. Then you'll be able to control front and everything else separately

grim violet Dec 28, 2020, 11:21 PM

#

ah okay

#

and do you have any suggested fans that fit those bearings?

opal night Dec 28, 2020, 11:21 PM

cause the phanteks have "rifle" bearings idk if thats good

opal night CX-M is rated lower for some reason

Because it’s way worse than CX

#

It’s on a completely different platform

#

CXM uses two designs. 450-650 uses a CWT codename Santana, whereas 750-850 uses PUQ-B. These are low end double forward platforms
, no OTP on prior 2015 versions, OTP set too high on newer CXM version to where the capacitors can degrade, sleeve bearing fan, and also has the same issues as CV with high-transient/peak power GPUs, making it not favorable to any Big Navi, Ampere etc..

Hi guys! so, i was planning my next build for when my 3070 will arrive (so probably not before February) and i'm looking for a case. I wanted to use the artic freezer 50 for its stunning looks and performance, and because i need a lot of cooling since i will probably use a 3900x. By looking around i found out the in win 303 and i instantly loved it. air flow is good, and the look is perfect for what i have in mind. My problem is that it cannot support the freezer 50 since it is 166 (6mm higher than the max supported cooler height). So either i change the case, but i can't find any options with a similar look (mind that i can't compromise on airflow), or i change the cooler, but i loose all the wow factor i was searching for the inside of my machine... Any suggestion? I love clean panels like the 303 or the o11d, but either of those have a max height for the cooler too low...

`During the OPP (cold) evaluation, the PSU died, so I couldn't finish all tests. How did it die? I increased the load on all rails until the PSU shut down as it should. I left it to cool down and tried to restart it after five minutes, but was treated with fireworks and a loud bang.

@robust prism be aware that cable management in that case is just terrible. I’ve used it once. Literally have about 2 inches to route your cables on the right, that’s it

@eager monolith this rosewill case is actually exceeding expectations! It’s definitely a bit small, but cable management isn’t bad, and it has holes for CPU power which sometimes I don’t see in even $40 cases. Definitely worth $28. Will work really well for this 1650 + 10100 build

Not really since it does employ DC-DC conversion on the secondary side but tacts on a double forward circuit on the primary side (prone to transients and possibly whining) that is passively rectified (harms our efficiency even at this platform), 2% voltage tolerance on the 12v rail is pretty high, and not something to be happy for, As promised, it does have a TNB fan. Yes, the fan was indeed hitting the grille in the hot tests, the unit seems to a modification as there is a whole row of capacitors missing on the secondary side, the bridge rectifiers are stabled together (increasing temperature), Teapo SC (low-end Teapo) are seen on the secondary side, and its similarity platform wise to the 850w version, we can assume the same faulty protections are set so not too good

But hey the seasonic focus GM isn’t bad
