I found stock of the Noctua NF-F12 chromax and I ordered 3 of them (two for the GPU and probably one for the back), so I´m finally going for it. Any other thing I must take into account? Should I keep front and bottom as intakes and the back as exhaust, or shoudl I change it? Thanks again!

I tried to post a link and seems that it created that empty space. Where I say "I suppose I would need something like this" I was refering to this Gelid PWM Adaptator

Makes sense! Thanks for the explanation. 64ºC is far better than what I get, of course that I would be happy to lower them more ?. As far asI know A12x25 are not available in chromax, the most similar that I found is the black version of the NF-F12. Anyway, if you know better fans I dont mind...

Did some testing as you recommended and I´m a bit confused with the results since removing the side panel made the temps worse. After some gaming I get this temps: - Side panel ON, GPU fans at 65%: 72ºC GPU/ 66ºC CPU - Side panel ON, GPU fans at 100%: 64ºC GPU/65ºC CPU - Side panel OFF, GPU fans...

Of course that laptops are useful in some situations, I was just joking a bit. Had been a laptop user for the last 4 four years because I needed mobility, now I´ve jumped to the portable SFF and I´m really happy with the result! I get the same mobility (in the end I moved the PC twice a week)...

I don´t have any problem with clearance then in any of the places I usually usually use it. I´ll do some testing as you have suggested, I´ll use a game like The witcher 3 to see some "real" performance (I don´t think that prime95 for example can be taken as a representation of normal use). I...

I´ve got the glass version. I´ll remove the back fan then, but should´t it help to take the hot air out? 75ºC is not that bad, but as summer aproaches I think the temps will rise, and for example with the GPU fans at 100% I get about 10ºC less (but it sound like a rocket) so I think that...

Hello everyone, I´m looking for new ways of improving my build, it is the first time I´ve build in a miniITX case and I´m not a pro with airflow related things. My actual build is this . It has a 3800x and a 2080 SUPER, so as you can imagine cooling is an important factor. Now that summer is...

Hello everybody, as a consequence of the quarantine I decieded to invest my time on a new rig. Since I need some mobility but I hate laptos (thoses things are overpriced ovens), I dediced to gor for my first miniITX build. It´s been quite fun even though I´ve been away from the PC building world...
