So per this article it sounded as if there were two new designs in the works - one from you and the other from Necere. Are you able to share which of the two is on the way, please?

Late to the party here, but I have an Asus MB14AC and it works pretty nicely with both my work laptop (Lenovo X280, via its Thunderbolt 3 port) and my home PC (via the VirtualLink port on my 2070). Both of these connect as DisplayPort without needing any drivers (whereas if I were to use the USB...

Cheers @Nanook and @teodoro . I had a look at Speedfan a few years back and it wasn't exactly the most user-friendly application. I've just installed the latest version and it doesn't look like it's changed! I'll have a look at that SPCR giveg and see if it clarifies matters. I'll also...

Oh, this is wonderful news! I was really disappointed when it was revealed that there were no plans to restock the V5 panels, and that the V6 wouldn't be compatible, but this makes me a happy bunny.

Thanks for the reply :) I think I'll grab a couple of NF-A12s and see how they go, and I'll experiment a bit with fan direction to see whether front-to-back or back-to-front works best. My case sits on the right hand side of the desk so if the side panel was an exhaust it would blow across the...

Hey @Nanook , do you mind if I pick your brains for a minute, please? I'm running a 6700K in my M1 and am planning to upgrade my GPU to an EVGA 2070 XC, which is a standard sized 2-slot, 2-fan open cooler design. I'm thinking that I will probably want to have a 120mm fan or two underneath the...

Yeah, but it's also £20 more expensive and depending on your setup, a top-down cooler might not be the best solution in any event. Definitely a great cooler, though.

92mm

According to this, it won't fit.

A means of getting hot air out of the case is always handy, in my opinion - my setup is similar to @Arboreal in that I have a U9S with a fan pushing air across the heatsink to the back of the case, and a second fan on the rear panel as an exhaust. When I did some ruidmentary testing I noticed a...

There's not much at all in it between the two coolers. The U9S seems a lot more popular in M1 builds but both perform to within a couple of degrees - and which comes out on top seems to vary depending on which reviews you read (generally it's the U9S but not always). The U9S is a bit heavier so...

Thanks so much for this comprehensive round-up - I'm in the market for a small 1070 so this is very helpful indeed! I do like the look of the MSI, although it seems to be a tricky card to get hold of here in the UK (and prices have gone a bit bonkers recently, which is annoying). Thanks again...

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to do this testing and report your results. My personal experience (although I don't have any figures to hand to back things up) was that using bottom intake fans actually made very little difference to GPU temperatures: to be fair, I was...
