    News Asetek 645LT for the SFF community!

    Hi @BummlerD, any luck with finding/adding foam to your 645LT? I was able to get my 645LT to fit properly in the FormD T1 without any adaptors, while I was at it I did take off the pump cap and can confirm mine does indeed have to foam insert so that must be enough to make the difference in...

    Cooling Tips: Achieving better acoustics with the Asetek 645LT

    If you are looking at air cooling too, you might want to check out the Noctua NH-U9S (also comes in chromax.black), it's only 125mm high (your case supports up to 135mm of height) and should also work fine with 125 watt stock load. And you can put a second 92mm fan behind it with a push/pull...

    Cooling Tips: Achieving better acoustics with the Asetek 645LT

    I found this video, if you leave the 11600k at stock power limits, it will likely be fine. This guy tested a 10900K (which will use bit more power than the 11600k) with the power limit disabled, and with it enabled (default for most motherboards). In the former case the 645LT could not keep up...

    Cooling Tips: Achieving better acoustics with the Asetek 645LT

    @MuFF - An update to my previous statement, the 11600K uses 257 watts at load, sorry I miss read 10600k above. That is 110 more watts than the 5600x at load, so not sure I would recommend it strongly, but I see others using it for the 3900X which will have a similar load wattage, the CPU might...

    Cooling Tips: Achieving better acoustics with the Asetek 645LT

    It can keep my 5600x @ gaming loads around 55c (stock clocks, pbo2 enabled), max loads around 65c in Cenabench. Using the below articles as reference the 10600k is using about 35 watts more under load, I highly suspect it will be more than fine at stock clocks. Update: Also of note my 645LT is...

    Asetek 645LT pump noise

    I have a Gigabyte RTX 2080 OC Gaming white, that card does not have full sized 3/4 pin headers on it like many Asus cards do. At the time I thought it was easier to just use CHA_FAN header on the MB instead, since no adapters were needed and since I already use Argus full time, it's easy enough...

    Asetek 645LT pump noise

    Well I'm glad we found you a thread to pull on, hopefully EVGA will be able to resolve it for you! Also the "too many fans" situation is a problem of my own making, b/c I choose to deshroud the GPU and decouple those fans from the GPU fan controller. I can however get a 4 pin to mini 4 pin...

    Asetek 645LT pump noise

    Have you tried setting the fan control to DC instead of PWM? the Asetek 645LT pump is not PWM. In my case with the Asus ROG Strix B550-I Gaming, I have mine plugged into the AIO_PUMP header and set it to DC in the Q-Fan menu. Although it's set to DC, no amount of setting the fan curve in the...

    Asetek 645LT pump noise

    Hi @definelicht, Try using Argus Monitor to set the pump speed lower, I leave my at 40% (minimum it will go) and it's basically silent at that speed, with very low to no noticeable difference in performance. Here are some previous discussions on it...

    News Asetek 645LT for the SFF community!

    @BummlerD, glad you made some progress on it, I'm interested to hear the results of the foam mod. I might have to check under the cap of mine too, though I'm moving to a FormD T1 soon, and 645LT doesn't really fit without some sort of adapter so I might have to retire it already.

    News Asetek 645LT for the SFF community!

    Hi @BummlerD, I also have a 645LT, although I've never tried to take the cap off it is definitely audible - and not in a good way - at max pump speed, however setting it at minimum rpm (which is around 40%) it is silent and I have no noticeable temperature differences at load. Out my own...

    That product code helped me find it at a site I could buy it, thanks again!

    Other Motherboard USB header adapter to rear pci bracket

    Thanks @tinyitx for finding that, it actually exists! Though I can't figure out how to buy from that site, and not really willing to create an account there, or give them my payment info. I think I'm better off just getting a USB-C 3.1 to PCI bracket and getting a hub if I really need more...

    Other Motherboard USB header adapter to rear pci bracket

    Anyone know if one exists that has BOTH one * USB-C to 20pin 3.1 and two * USB-A to 20pin 3.0 on the motherboard? I can find brackets that have either the USB-C or the two USB-A 3.0 ports, but I'm looking for all three on the same bracket.

    CPU Trying to buy a 3080

    Hi alitech, 3080's are the most sought after cards atm for gamers and miners alike, on top of the general chip shortages and the recent holidays. There are various ways to be notified when BB, B&H, Newegg, Amazon, etc drop cards, realistically BB drops and Newegg shuffles are best way to try to...
