    Hm, one last thing, the small molex JST connector from the 1050 to the fans have a black and a blue!? cable and the black is in the position where the red (+) is on the molex JST adaptor I bought. So does anyone know which of the leads is positive and negative on the MSI card? Does the fan take...

    Maybe not for the power regulators surrounding the chipsets, they are already at 110C, I don't think the contained CPU heat will make the situation durable.

    Ok, that explains alot... convection is the best cooling because it is free, but in your case the CPU is heating the GPU.

    I had the first Oculus DK1, and DK2 and now I have a Vive... I have made a MMO for VR, so that's the saddest part, the death of Moore's law means that the matrix will never become reality in my lifetime, atleast until we get a new async HDMI/OpenGL pipeline (again async is hard). But you are...

    @aquelito Are you running without lid? @Ceros_X I guess you missed that Moore's law is failing. It will be at least 20 years before any alternative to electric transistors are developed and commercialized, if ever. Next step for Intel is 7nm and the time they will take to get to market will...

    Ok, I'm trying to make the system last >10 years so I need to keep it cool. The CPU is a 6600 (because microsoft is forcing non win 7 on Kaby Lake and I need win for Unity work unfortunately). The temps are very application dependent, so overwatch is kind to the CPU but maxxes the GPU, and then...

    yep... 40C on the GPU, same 50C on CPU... the game is not very taxing... will install overwatch over the night... Edit: I have zero intake fans... the nuctua is basically just whisking the heat around so the walls can radiate it... but this 16nm pascal chip is sooo cool! Edit2: Ok lid after 30...

    Completely cool, completey silent. I used both choke cables, and can go much lower on rpm with fan mate 2... temp is not a problem with 16/14nm... thank god msi made the heatsink plain and simple... Edit: just used HWInfo to monitor what happens when I put the lid on... CPU is only 25W and GPU...

    @robbee Cool, would like more photos if you have any, the FC8 case, the 1050, and anything else, everything is of interest! I'm leaning towards 2x40mm Noctuas for the 1050... Edit: actually nm, 65W needs at least 1x80mm... Going for deluxe zip-ties: @K888D I'm just thinking clutter here not...

    ok thx! hm, maybe 2x40mm noctuas would be better now that you mention 60mm! certainly less cluttered and thinner! I think the heatsink is 50mm high... really then one should use 3x40mm...

    Hey, this is my plan too but in a FC9 case and with one 80mm Nuctua fan. Which streacom case is that? The card doesn't complain when you just remove the fans power plug? I have ordered JST to molex cable and a Fan Mate 2 just in case... Like the attachment method though I will try to make...
