hope he underclocks the 5900x !

Small updates to achieve much quieter operation with a 5600x - Changed the EK-120 fan for a NF-F12 - Turned off PBO for a fixed OC 4.6ghz @1.2V Also, I notice that the half top part of the case ends up acting as a radiator, which is nice. Please someone do a custom loop in there !

Build is finally complete, as I managed to get a 6900xt. Parts : Gigabyte B550i, 5600x, EK-120, 2x16gb G-Skill Trident Z 3200c14 @3600c15, Sapphire 6900XT reference, ssd Sabrent nvme pcie3 1TB, corsair SF750 About the case, I like : aesthetics, good cooling from design & vents, surface finish...

Don't remember default bench, but yes this is likely, and what other users of this CPU/AIO report.

To be fair, the PBO is desactivated by default and temps are 10-20 C lower. This processor is great, just need some getting to know each other with the PBO & RAM tuning.

Noctua A12*15 , CFM is 10% below the 25mm Vardar, but the static pressure is 20% below. I feel I'm missing something - I use my rig for gaming, the temps will be acceptable in any case though.

Today I found the motivation to reapply thermal paste, just to reach the same underwhelming results, 80C for 80W When using PBO there seem to be some limit around 80C on the 5600x, from which frequencies do not boost higher. No idea how to circumvent it. Also, I have done some testing with a...

no, I like those extra Mhz from PBO/CO tweaking, and the CPU gets around 80W. mouting may not be the best as there is no real indication on when to stop screwing on the EK block.

The EK AIO 120 fits with no issue. With a 5600x and I reach 70C gaming and 80C on CBR23, with a relaxed fan profile. That is a bit high, probably I will redo the aio mounting when I receive the gpu. Also I have a spare 120 slim fan to try - that would allow the sapphire nitro+ , but that will...

Great news, especially the riser ! I have been using the case for 3 weeks now as my main rig, but I still need a 6800 or 6900 to complete and share the build.

:cool: That's some seriously fast QC ! I mostly travel by train though :p I am interested into acquiring a case, and live in EU. The build I plan is subject to Zen3/RDNA2 availability so I might not be able to provide quick feedback Currently I run a LZ7 with i7 8700 / RTX 2070 Drop me a PM...

I see, are you satisfied with the GPU stability as is ? (especially for transportation) While we are at it, - does it require an angled displayport connector ? - what riser model do you use here, is it the right lenght ? - have you assessed the options for a diplayport I/O ? The more I look at...

Looks very good, great and fast progress from the first designs, congrats. I like the screws and the paint job! Are all cables to be routed through the bottom left hole ? How is the GPU held and why is there a cut below it ?

I see thanks. What do you think of : - no 240/280 AIO, no side fan, no bottom fan, no ssd - mini itx, SFX PSU exhaust on top, CPU aircooling, one top fan, panel perforation in front of the cpu and on top

I like the idea of a vertical 3 slots GPU no riser layout, and am wondering is this is the sizing factor for the 15L, or other supported hardware is (micro atx, sfx-L, 240-280 AIO, side fan, ssd, comfortable free space). In other words, can a vertical 3 slots GPU no riser build be significantly...
