by aspiring race driver i mean i've never done a track day but i have won an event outright at rallycross, won my class at another rallycross and came 4th overall for a season of said same rallycross xD
you're right though
do people get upset if you mix up stuff in here? just we having a decent chat and i just saw this:
that's awesome but alas, not on the canadian site

Not bad at all, I used to do some amateur rally racing too. I miss my Subaru.

fair play :D. subarus rule at that. i had an 04 accent i did it in, where i put a wing on from an sti and had the wing and mirror caps painted british racing green

Are uphere fans good? Because they have good reviews and they’re pretty cheap

Companies have been getting caught buying hundreds of fake Amazon reviews a lot lately. I don't know if this is one of those cases, but I don't see any reviews from anyone I'd call trustworthy.
mint notch
these mics are interesting. so there are different packages etc available looking elsewhere. great reviews overall, but then some aren't as impressed by it. i don't know enough about mics to get into it. i just saw good reviews, power supply, stand, cheap price... how bad could it be xD. I sometimes stream and did read that higher quality mic would be beneficial. but hey i'm just pipe dreaming at this point. my stream is busy if i have 2 people xD
knotty sparrow
I don't see anything that says their fans are bad at least, so might be worth a shot
I'm not really a microphone aficionado myself, can't really give opinions on those so much but the #peripherals-and-displays channel is full of knowledgeable people.

Just get an anidees case and never worry about mobo and fan compatibility
Got an eatx mobo for the ryzen 5950 whenever I can get one. And you can put like 20 120 mm fans in it

Should i use push or pull for the back case fan?

Usually you want to push from the front and pull from the back
Rare exceptions are made depending on where your PC is located in your room

Hey, thank you! I’ll keep an eye out for stock. Priced awesome in US at $25. In Canada for some reason it’s $100 CAD. I suspect a supply problem. Will keep a look out :).
Any in here used a Thermaltake Core P5 with a Noctua NH-D15, and 51mm tall Ram? By the Noctua compatibility site, I need an extra 3mm so have put washers on the shiny standoffs to push the acrylic out that 3mm. Wondering if anyone else had paired these two up.
And yes I feel guilty about no wc for it but I didn’t feel confident going that way and didn’t do my homework on the Noctua either. Just knew it was the best air cooler on the market for performance.

Ah you should’ve told me it’s cad
Then I would suggest something like a pure rock slim
It’s cheap and it fits what your looking for
Which CPU though?
Since pure rock slim isn’t a hefty cooler and may have trouble with some chips
mint notch
Thanks Decks. It’s an AMD FX-4100. I’m looking for something cheap (for instance a hyper 212 is under 40 cad right now) but worthwhile in terms that I can try OC it a bit. Not looking for record breaking numbers but a happy compromise between cheap and worthwhile. A Noctua ch9 black I think it was looked great, but at $90 it’s pushing it a bit.
@stiff crypt
I do wonder if getting a stock wraith cooler would fit and be worthwhile? They’re cheap on the used market, rgb too.

A12x25 isnt a good case fan right?
low pumice
what
nf-a12x25 is literally the best performing fan for noised normalized performance on the market
barren hamlet
Like it's just good for CPU coolers and rads
barren hamlet
What about the nf-a14 and nf-f12
low pumice
no no no, the point was show the difference between Pressure optimised vs Good all-around vs Airflow optimized
barren hamlet
I was thinking abou getting 2 of the a14 and 1 f12
My case fits 2 140mm at the top 1 120mm at the back
low pumice
a14 and f12 is fine
also keep in mind Arctic P12/P14 fans are options if Noctua fans are oos or ridiculously priced, since that was the case when I last checked
barren hamlet
I mean how big is the dif between p12 and p14 vs the noctua ones
low pumice
P12/P14 are more pressure focused, but they're fairly close (Closer than most other average fans, like Corsair ml120 for example) in general to Noctua counterparts
barren hamlet
I mean I was planning to get these case fans for Christmas so I have a little more than normal to spend

lone jacinth
Can aio pumps be loud due to being in the cpu header in the mobo
knotty sparrow
Pumps work best in the pump header. The noise is from the pump changing speed and the pressure changing, which doesn't happen on a pump header configured correctly.
A workaround would be to set whatever header the pump is in to run at or near full speed constantly.
lone jacinth
yeah my board doesnt have a pump header rip ahah
knotty sparrow
Put the radiator fans into the CPU header and put the pump on a fan header, then set the fan header to 100% in BIOS
lone jacinth
hmm good idea will that reduce noise
knotty sparrow
Yes it should help keep the pressure more constant so less noise from gurgling and stuff like that

@knotty sparrow oo, I've seen those, that's why I was thinking of lian li
knotty sparrow
Yeah those have really nice aesthetics and cut down on cable clutter with the interlocking design
feral pivot
I have one last question ( I think), is the cooler master ml360r a good aio cooler? For like, a 5950x.
magic scarab
how much is it
feral pivot
I would probably pair that with the lian li fans
magic scarab
How much
feral pivot
$140 I think
knotty sparrow
I use the ML240 of that and it keeps my 5800X chilly, even overclocked, so the 360 wouldn't be bad if it's the aesthetics you're going for
magic scarab
EK 360mm slightly cheaper and arguably better design for what you are going for but the ML360 would keep it chilly, yeah
feral pivot
@magic scarab I've seen that one too! It looks really good
magic scarab
Mine should be arriving thursday
oh also EK 360mm best noise normalized performance iirc
would have to check GN tests again

If I did an EK setup, I would probably go all EK fans

So, I've seen these custom loop kits from Thermaltake, just for the cpu, that would be better?

knotty sparrow
Ye, custom loops are all in or nothing
magic scarab

Usually you can get better results from a good aio than just a custom loop kit, for a lot less monies
feral pivot
IK IK cpu alone is weird, but I really don't want to ruin a 3090
magic scarab
its not weird
just costly and hard to do for people who havent done it before
extremely hard
knotty sparrow
Not really worth just doing CPU, since an AIO does the job easier for less money
feral pivot
I see. Lol this is why I like to ask around
magic scarab
you can hook up an AIO to your GPU, right?
low pumice
Not easily
feral pivot
@low pumice agree
low pumice
And I don't think they made an adapter for ampere GPUs yet
knotty sparrow
With a few modifications you can put an AIO on a GPU
feral pivot
Any other 360mm aio suggestions?
magic scarab
I should get a 280 and hook it up to my 3070
knotty sparrow
Make sure those vrams are cool though
low pumice
Don't think anyone made a good adapter for ampere yet tho
Yea
The old nzxt bracket was neat since that still had a fan on it for vrm/vram

you don't have to put 140's up there even if it allows it

barren hamlet
i'd rather have 140's as intake (if it allows it) and 120's as exhaust
so 2 140s in front?
tired fog
140's do be moving air a lot so that's my reasoning for intake and the 120's in exhaust just exhausting it
tired fog
so 2 140s in front?
or 3 120's
idk if there's a significant difference in between 3x120 and 2x140 in the front, i'd have to check if there's sum on reddit or yt
barren hamlet
so should i get 2 140's for the front and then move all stock fans to exauhst
tired fog
yeah that'll work
i'm not getting a definite answer if it's better to have 3x120 or 2x140 but i'm just gonna assume it's quieter since there's less motors and bigger fans have to spin slower than smaller fans to move the same amount of air, so it's probably a difference in sound and not really a difference in cooling temps
knotty sparrow
In general, you want more air going in than going out. Stock fans tend to be weaker and would be good for exhaust, but not on a radiator if you're doing liquid cooling.
tired fog

and airflow oriented fans don't work well with radiators as well
pressure-optimized fans work best

360mm AIO is about to arrive for P400a. Only place it will fit for is front panel. I'm guessing I mount it as intake. Anything else I might have to do special?

How can you tell if a fan is configured to push or pull?
knotty eagle
THe side with the motor braces is the exhaust
knotty sparrow
It's more a matter of how it's positioned and air direction. Is the radiator between the fan and the exterior, moving air into the case? That's a pull.
As far as direction the fan is blowing vintage is right
autumn iris
Alright thanks
I had installed 2 fans myself and didn’t find out till today from some other people that I installed them wrong
knotty sparrow
"Wrong" is subjective, there's only more or less efficient setups. More efficient is desirable obviously.
autumn iris
Yeah
I thought I installed them to push air out but I installed them to pull from the top
knotty sparrow
Thermodynamics say heat tends to rise, so a top exhaust is more efficient to help the natural rise of air instead of fighting it
knotty eagle
Also, if you inspect the fan carefully, somewhere on the outer edge is an arrow showing which direction the air moves
autumn iris
Alright cool
magic scarab
Also, if you inspect the fan carefully, somewhere on the outer edge is an arrow ...
Usually the part with the logo and fan speed, voltage, etc is where the fan blows
magic scarab
I see
magic scarab
Would it be worth it to get another 280mm or something, mount it as exhaust, and hook it up to GPU?
I’m guessing no but my card has cooling issues so
knotty sparrow
Depends, what GPU?
knotty sparrow
Just put thermal pads on it then lol
magic scarab
The cooler itself is kinda dumb tbh
I am throwing this idea out there for mostly aesthetic, note that
But cooling would also be helped
knotty sparrow
Really, it helps.
Liquid cooling only keeps core temps down, not vram and vrm
magic scarab
VRM and VRAM are already super high as it is
knotty sparrow
You'll still need to stick pads and heatsinks on there if you go with a water block, a lot of 3070s don't have full cover blocks available.
magic scarab
Hmmm
knotty sparrow
Just checked and EK doesn't have blocks for that card
And there's not really any good custom brackets for 30 series
worldly heath
Is anyone here familiar with corsair rgb and fan controls?
Mainly if I have 9 of their fans, plus cpu block, gpu block, asus motherboard and gskill trident ram, would I be able to control all that with a single controller/hub?
proven solstice
might get a better answer from their discord, but I’m pretty sure you need 2 hubs
atomic jetty
yeah, they don't have a single hub that does more than 6 fans by itself
warm chasm
hey i m vishi
fair robin
hiiiii
worldly heath
yeah, they don't have a single hub that does more than 6 fans by itself
does it work fine if there are 2 hubs connected to my motherboard with their software?
atomic jetty
that's probably a question for the corsair discord or google, I wouldn't know firsthand
you could maybe run splitters out of the hub actually
and if you're using commander pro (I don't know what else you'd use) it has two rgb channels, which can each take one of their 6 connector rgb hubs
that's still mostly me guessing though, I'd get a second opinion :p
shrewd juniper
Hey, i asked this before but said the wrong case, is adding intake fans to my nzxt s340 worth it? Will it help performance
topaz blaze
Does it have a front grill
Or is it a covered one
If its covered
Looks like it won't do much
knotty sparrow
shrewd juniper
Olay thanks I'll give a watch
Hmm he didn't say if you should add fans to the front or not
old sage
anyone have an opinion on the EK-AIO 360 D-RGB CPU cooler with 3 additional EK-Vardar EVO 120ER D-RGB case fans?
knotty sparrow
EK is a good one, often recommended here
tired fog
the aio comes with the fans
and if you don't find them on newegg you'll most likely find them on the ek website
tired fog
ohh
tired fog
jus buy the ek-aio elite if you plan on buying three more fans
it's a bit cheaper than buying three additional ones for the case
old sage
i was going to buy an aio and 3 more fans because the rgb blew out on my current case fans
tired fog
the ek-aio elite comes with 6 fans + aio for 200 bucks
knotty sparrow
Not a bad deal
unique lilyBOT
CREAMIEST ONE#8706 has been warned
tired fog
compared to ek-aio 360 which is $155 + 3($26) for additional fans, it's a steal
old sage
oh wow
old sage
sheeesh
tired fog
it looks like it also comes with a rgb hub
magic scarab
what does?
old sage
what a steal lol
old sage
the elite does
old sage
thats crazy
magic scarab
damn, I just bought a hub from Asus for my 360mm EK AIO too
shrewd juniper
Btw should i bother getting seperate thermal paste for the id cooling se 224 I'm going to get, kinda mixed results with included paste
magic scarab
why would you?
unless you are doing some mega serious overclocking and trying to push every last megahertz, not worth it
but you arent doing that on an SE 224 anyways
old sage
the difference is very minimal anyway
knotty sparrow
It'll only make a few degrees difference max. A more likely problem is uneven mounting pressure.
atomic jetty
a tube of arctic silver 5 or similarly well-known paste is only 5 bucks if you really want the peace of mind over it
magic scarab
speaking of, how is the quality of EK's included paste?
my AIO came with a couple milligrams of it and I want to know
atomic jetty
probably the same as 90% of included paste
shrewd juniper
but you arent doing that on an SE 224 anyways
Okay thanks
old sage
dang, do i get the elite version and 3 more fans so i can have a push/pull setup too?😂
knotty eagle
Push pull isn't worth the extra fans
magic scarab
I feel like, with 3 Vardars in my PC, there is too much positive pressure
even with 2 noctuas and a rebranded coolermaster pulling it all out
old sage
so just go with the 3 pulling to the radiator and use the other 3 to push it out of the case?
magic scarab
at the back, yeah
old sage
wait could i even use a 360 aio with that case?
old sage
but arent tube on the top problematic?
magic scarab
no?
old sage
you can still get gurgling since the air would get trapped in the top tho
magic scarab
no?
atomic jetty
potentially a small amount of noise, that's it
that's the only difference between tubes up and down
magic scarab
I literally have an AIO installed with the tubes at the top right now
knotty eagle
You can also get gurgling with the hoses at the bottom because air can still get trapped in the pump
magic scarab
its fine
knotty eagle
Air would have to go down to get out of the pump
Air doesn't go down,
It's fine either way
provided the radiator isn't at the bottom of the case. THAT'S a problem
old sage
okay so with tubes on bottom it just makes sure there is no gurgling but tubes on top are still fine yeah?
just the occasional gurgle lol
knotty eagle
You will probably never get a gurgle
knotty eagle
No, pump needs to be below the highest point of the radiator
knotty eagle
as long as radiator is below
unless you meant isn't lol
old sage
yeah pump
magic scarab
old sage
mixed it up lol
magic scarab
I have had zero problems with this so far

Also what's the best 360mm aio...
Best is subjective, but the EK and liquid freezer ii are usually recommended on here for price/performance.
low pumice
Price for noise normalized perf
feral pivot
I have a Ml360 from coolermaster, and Im debating on changing everything
knotty sparrow
You can if you want but it won't be that different from what you have. The ML tend to be a little loud so it would probably run quieter if you got another one.
Or just change the fans on the ML
feral pivot
u mean the pump runs loud? or fans
knotty sparrow
The fans, I've never noticed the pump on mine
feral pivot
lol when temps get high the defalt fans sound like they are dying
topaz blaze
h150i pro/xt ek n liquid freezer ii
feral pivot
i would probubly get the coolermaste sickle flow v2 to replace the defalt ones. good idea?
feral pivot
h150i pro/xt ek n liquid freezer ii
ive seen that one, it was going to be my go too, but idk
knotty sparrow
They're kind of meh quality fans, not fantastic but not terrible.
You don't have to use the same brand.
feral pivot
would those lianli tripple fans be better?
topaz blaze
Don't buy unifans
only fans i despise from lianli
the triple fans vs h150i pro/xt?
or?
feral pivot
er, SL120
I think I may keep my ML360 to save some cash. I do want to replace the fans tho
topaz blaze
ML140s, P14 or noctua
knotty sparrow
Wow some strong feelings on the unifans
They're a good concept and pretty good fans for radiators, but expensive
topaz blaze
Preferably ML140s or P14s
I like unifans but they're just LL120s all over again
for how new they are they shouldn't be that bad.
feral pivot
they arnt like attached together tho
knotty sparrow
Anyway, let's say this: how much would you be willing to spend replacing these fans?
$30 - $75? (for all three)
feral pivot
preferably less then $ 200 for 7 fans total
topaz blaze
ML140s or P14s
feral pivot
but Honestly, ill spend anything under $500
knotty sparrow
Oh going for all 7 matching, nice
topaz blaze
Only 7?
knotty sparrow
$20-25 per fan is a great range
feral pivot
yea, I have the budget, I just never know what to do
knotty sparrow
You could go overkill and get a bunch of ek vardar fans
feral pivot
yea, problem is... I like rgb
knotty sparrow
They have rgb ones, lemme grab a link
feral pivot
thats ok, i found it
knotty sparrow
Where are you looking that it's that much?

feral pivot
I was looi9ng on amazon LOL
topaz blaze
120mm corsair fans are horrible
ML120 is good but ML140 is better
for like
same pricing
feral pivot
yea, I dont think it would fit tho
topaz blaze
atleast H150i pro/xt comes with rgb ml140s
they will
O11 XL will fit triple 140
your radiator would be the limitation if it doesn't support 140
feral pivot
but, on the radiator
feral pivot
yea, Idk. I REALLY like the look of the vardars
feral pivot
yea. they make good powersupplies tho
topaz blaze
they make alot of good products
feral pivot
just super overpriced
feral pivot
yea
I think what I will do, is get a bunch of vardars, and keep coolermaster ML360
save money
thx for all the suggestions and help!
old sage
I think what I will do, is get a bunch of vardars, and keep coolermaster ML360
you could also buy the EK-AIO Elite 360 D-RGB. its $199 but it comes with 6 vardar fans.
then just buy some more vardar fans for $25 each
magic sparrow
Vardars are only good for liquid resistance. Other then that, fairly loud and low lifespan
I'd get Arctic AIO with an RGB strip tbf. That or get upHere/EzDIY 6 pack with it
feral pivot
you could also buy the EK-AIO Elite 360 D-RGB. its $199 but it comes with 6 vard...
Oo, good idea. That's good value.
Is that really true that vardars have a low lifespan?
old sage
If you run them into the ground then yeah but that’s the same with anything.
50,000 hr lifespan
So almost 6 years
low pumice
Eh
Noctua has 150,000hr rates MTBF
Testing and experience will tell you more whenever applicable
old sage
Well for the Vardar that number is based on if you are using them for cooling the radiator.
low pumice
What
MTBF means constant use at 100% for x hours before the average failure afaik
Being on a radiator doesn't matter
Either way, need testing or actual experiences with the fans to know
old sage
Oh fair enough
magic scarab
so my AIO I just bought, assuming I keep it on 100% for as long as I have my computer, will last 6 years?
old sage
I meant they come with the radiator as a package
magic scarab
give or take
old sage
The fans yes
magic scarab
cool beans
old sage
If you have your computer running the fans at 100% for 6 years straight that’s crazy😂
feral pivot
Yea, lol I wouldn't really call 6 years om 100% a low life span, but I see ur point
magic scarab
Ill be replacing it within the next 3 years, likely
with whatever is newest and greatest
Unless EK sells a bracket for AM5
feral pivot
Yea, hopefully I'll keep my build for 3 or 4 years

The paste only needs to be on the middle parts, that's the die that generates the most heat. The green part doesn't need paste.
Once you take the cooler off you need to re-paste it anyway.

The cooler design has a huge impact on cooling performance
As well as making proper contact with the heat spreader/die
And ofc replacing your thermal paste every 3 to 5 years

@fallen timber it's easy to tell

The more heat pipes you have, the better cooling you can get
Same with fin arrays

it's just the rgb on the pump block/fans
"elite capellix" is the name for corsair's fancy LEDs

Oh wait, it also comes with a fancy fan and rgb controller doesn't it? I already have one, so I guess it is technically cheaper since I can just sell the controller

doesn't really come with a fancy controller
it comes with a hub, which it has to use for power
the fans it comes with are ML120 Pro RGB that have 8 LEDs instead of 4

it comes with a commander core
the commander core is a fan+led hub that also powers the pump

90 or above is where you should care about gpu health

80 is well within tolerance. It'll still boost at that temperature. It won't throttle until closer to 90 range.
