congratulations on doing that front fan/rad bracket just right. maximum flexibility, minimum flow restriction, easy to slap some low restriction mesh on the outside. i hope this becomes the new standard. (and i'm very curious what filter material you're using!) not a fan of the overall...

that would certainly help with the airflow. i wonder if just using a 120mm fan would be better, though. I ended up just using a noctua nf-b9 on the rear for exhaust. makes a bigger difference than that top fan did, and relatively quiet.

I tried this, too! It's a perfect fit, but pretty noisy for the small amount of air it moves.

my big fat strix doesn't sag nearly that much. you can definitely adjust it somewhat by loosening the screws, pushing it up, and re-tightening the screws while you're holding it there. you can probably also give it some extra support by zip tying the power cable to something.

Pre-production windowed side panel is super, super nice. This case is everything I hoped it would be. The bottom fan test results were interesting. I tried EK Vardar EVO 140ERs, Noctua P14s, and Noctua F12s. It turned out that putting the Phanteks Halos underneath the fans were the best...

I'm running a Corsair SF600 and it's pretty quiet, always a little quieter than the rest of the system at any given load level. One thing I noticed is that when I had nothing mounted on the front of the case below the power supply, the video card (Strix 1080ti) would blow hot air out through the...

that would be awesome! i'd gladly pay shipping+materials. i will promise a comparison test if this pans out.

yes, briefly, with side panel removed. temp was the same as with no fan. i'm sure it would be better than no fan with the side panel in place. i should also add that placing a single 140mm fan in the bottom center (instead of 2x140) improved temps across the board. there is also a noticeable...

i've seen as high as 84C in furmark, using the "OC" setting (+25/+90) and 120% power target in GPU tweak, with the panel closed and the fans running at exactly the wrong speed. still much better than the founders edition card, but much worse than usual for the strix.

with side panel removed, as much as 6-7 degrees C increase over fans at 0 RPM. this is worst at mid RPMs (1200-1500) and goes back down somewhat at max RPM (2000). i only have a solid (non-vented) side panel to test with (packing error), but with that panel in place, the effect is milder. 0 RPM...

got it. there's about 30mm of clearance in the front of the case and 69mm in the bottom. with an SFX-L power supply, the power cables press against the GPU backplate. i leaned the card downward as far as i could using the elongated screw holes on the rear bracket, but the cables still push on...

i'm waiting on a windowed side panel before i take glamour shots. do you want to see anything in particular?

Comparison vs Fractal Design Arc XL... (waiting on a window panel)

you can order them with a selection of wacky, eye-catching designs printed on them, too! you know, to identify different batches of screws.
