Hi all, If I have 3.25 slot GPU (Sapphire Pure RX 9070 XT) would I be better off getting a T1 or Terra? CPU (7800X3D) would be cooled by Thermalright AXP90-X47 Full Copper, either with Noctua NF-A9x14 HS or Thermalright TL9015W. Mostly I'm trying to avoid turbulence, which I'm reasonably sure...

No problem. I wish there were more SFF parts, but it seems this year's expo is too focused on high-power / high-end & fans.

Do you have a bottom exhaust fan?

But uh... probably at least 10C cooler.

Can't remember off-hand, but it's an NZXT unit with a liquid temp sensor. So what I can do is set the fans to align with the liquid temp, and only ramp up when that hits 39C. And it takes a long time for the rad to soak enough to need that. Setup: 2x NF-A12x25 as GPU intake (bottom) 2x...

I decided to go ahead & buy a 240mm AIO lol

I tried it as intake, but put it back in exhaust (same as before). Didn't do any A-B tests but I figure it makes more sense to exhaust hot GPU air out instead of letting it hit the CPU.

Can anyone confirm which RTX 4080 models fit (stock/deshroud)? I saw ASUS released a smaller ProArt model at 300 x 120 x 50 mm.

Some cable management BEFORE AFTER 2x NF-A12x25 on bottom for GPU intake 1x NF-A9 set to rear exhaust 1x NF-A12x25 on Thermalright SI-100 set to side intake 1x NF-A12x25 on front side set to exhaust and Corsair SF750 with fan inside to help exhaust

The SI-100 seems to be doing a decent enough job of cooling the CPU, and the downdraft position should give some passive VRM cooling too. Main reason I got rid of the 92mm rear was for noise - if I flipped the cooler 180, I could add an NF-A9 though.

I built it again, this time with Thermalright SI-100. Much easier than Noctua NH-L12 and of course quieter than NH-U9S.

After lots of testing (120mm bottom intakes on & off, NH-U9S intake vs exhaust, etc) I've come to the conclusion that... I don't like this case with high-TDP GPUs 😅 Rebuilt back into my NR200P. I've put it up for sale locally but I doubt anyone will buy it, so inevitably it will be used for a...

Aaaand... ended up using the space below the GPU for cable management instead. Temps are... okay. Still waiting on the second NF-A9 to replace them NF-AFx14 to push air out.
