So Noctua recently released their much hyped A12x15 PWM! which means its time to sandwich my 1070 mini between a sandwich of noctua goodness. Fits perfectly in place of the Rosewill fan Attaching the other fan was a bit tricky as I didn't have a revision 3 case with GPU fan bracket screw...

Just ordered 2 NFA12x15 PWM fans to swap out my GPU fan (some rosewill 120mm) and to add a extra case fan behind the GPU! Has anyone with a revision 2 mini mounted a fan behind the GPU without drilling a extra hole in the frame? Thinking about using some double sided type but not sure if it is...

The rosewill fan is hooked up to a fan adaptor cable which is then plugged into the fan head on my 1070 (specific cable should be in the first post). By using the adaptor cable, it lets the GPU control the fan speed. Not sure if its PWM but its definitely changing speed. The bonus of using the...

Anything to get rid of that Noctua color! Though I have to admit, its grown on me a little and definitely prefer it to glossy black plastic (cough cough rosewill fan). 4 pin power doesn't look like itll be much of a problem. Looks like there's enough slack for you bend it and wrap it around if...

No problem. It definitely is easier than trying to route the fan cable to a mobo header. Though if you need to bend it at a sharp angle, you may have to cut away some of the heatshrink on the GPU side of the cable.

I definitely was relieved and a bit happy that I figured it out. Though those feeling vanished once I realized that it wasn't fixable without replacement XD Thankfully, I cant hear it while wearing headphones

Quick update #2: So one unintended side effect about having a relatively open frame case like the S4 mini is that you can hear everything. While fan noise was a given, I didn't think about the possibility of coil whine >.< After switching out 3 HDPlexs' (many thanks to Larry for his help), I've...

The mini fan adapter really is super handy if only for making a custom fan curve in afterburner. The Rosewill gets the job done at least for a bit though I do see some very minor dips in power delivery after running Valley for an hour.

Josh's is definitely closer to the smaller one (I ordered one). Which is a good thing as the wires coming out of the power button collided with my 24 pin.

Quick update #1 So I've decided to underclock my CPU to 3.6 Ghz (at the recommendation of @zobc) with a health -145mV underclock and power limited my GPU to 85% for the sake of temperatures. So far it seems to greatly improve my CPU temps, keeping it in mid to low 50s, while my GPU temps now sit...

Does anyone have any experience with either the Coolermaster Xtraflow 120 slim or the Prolimatech Ultra Sleek Vortex 120? Looking to replace my Rosewill fan (currently cooling my powerlimited GPU) as it sounds like its trying to take off above 40% fanspeed.

That definitely is strange. I'm probably going to set everything to stock 7700 voltage/frequency while leaving turbo boost on and undervolt my way to unstability. The idea of per core overclocking gives me a headache. Especially needing to validate every core. I've only overclocked my ram with...

Will retrofitting that mod be as simple as drilling a couple holes? My fingers still hurt from stud removal D:

That is something that I'm definitely considering. How did you disable turbo boost (the XTU setting is currently greyed out for me)? Also was underclocking simply a matter of dialing down the core and cache ratios then undervolting?

Thanks! Knowing Porsche its going to look awesoeme Thank you! Its a little louder and hotter than I would've liked but definitely acceptable for the size. When it comes out :/ I have it feeling it would portude. I didn't try before hand as I read a post by @1461748123 who noted that it...
