Yes it does, that's literally the point of B550 (vs B450) The difference between B550 and X570, is that on B550 you have 20 lanes direct from CPU 16 for graphics and 4 for a nvme. Chipset connected via Gen 3 X70 connects the chipset via gen4, so you get additional lanes / devices If you need...

I didn't forget, I just assumed the 60mm thickness quoted was 4 slot mode, but it looks like pcie slots are 20mm each so total you have 80mm max. 3080 FE minimum thickness is 25mm (due to the 12 pin connector). The EK block is 29. not sure about Corsair or Byski. I'll assume they are as thin as...

but how does the thickness of the radiator fit?? Assuming you do low profile fans and a 30mm rad, that's 45mm. The Meshlicious supports 60mm thick GPU, and the EK 3080 FE is 29mm thick. I really don't think a second radiator is that necessary. Ali got close with a single 240 in T1 with his...

what's the big deal, just use a adapter/extension. It's a digital signal, you're not going to have loss of quality or anything. honestly I think having a 6-12inch extension is preferred as I can disconnect the monitor without having to open the case / fish the wire out / mess with any cable...

but no one adapter will fit all scenarios. GPU can be moved in 2 axis, which means the io plate will move. Different GPUs have different IO. Some people will want 90 deg in one direction, some people 90 in another. Maybe you want your DP to go up and your HDMI left. I really don't understand...

If you're really concerned with performance, You'd get the 3000 RPM industrial Noctuas. They are comparable noise at lower RPMs, and if needed can obviously be cranked up to push as much heat as your loop can move. It will be quieterthan 2x12x15 at the same performance, and cheaper. Only...

resizable bar is a PCIE3.0 feature. nobody really knows to what extent all the players involved will support it yet, but from a technical stand point, there's no real benefit of pcie 4 right now. By the time pcie4 is necessary, there should be cables (assuming cables are possible) available...

Are we really not all gonna just order all of the combos to try it out??? I'm actually kind of bummed about the tinted glass panel. I'm gonna put a lot of time+$ into customs sleeving cables, I want to show it off. So I'm buying at least 1 clear panel (and probably 1 extra mesh panel, and...

Obviously any configuration of airflow will have some sort of impadct, and different configurations will have different impacts. Yes, "some fans" (in any orientation) is going to improve over "no fans", but I don't think anyone is considering a build with 0 case fans... so that's not relevant...

With a traditional GPU cooler? It wants to pull air from in front of it (side panel in this case) and exhaust out the sides. If you do intake from the front of the case and exhaust out the side mesh panel, you're working against the GPU and are probably recirculating a lot of hot air into the...

I guess one concern is it leaves very little airflow for CPU VRM. obviously 90% the air flow is gonna go to the side with the mesh panel. With glass on the GPU side (how the expect most people to build... the whole reason glass panel is stock, people want to show off their GPU), well GPU VRM...

I know this is hard to believe, but they are not making this case for the people on this thread. Any poll/opinions here are not going to sway the decisions on this product (which btw are probably already locked in, hopefully, if we want to see this case anytime soon). This is a mainstream...

There aren't really many PCIE gen 4 cables. And no the ghost doesn't come with one, it comes with gen3 cables Only 1 mesh side, its confirmed to come with 1 glass panel that can go on either side.

Dead. Horse. 1. The person who made the case has said there will be 1 mesh 1 TG. You can look at all of his posts in this thread. I don't know how it could be confusing 2. The specifications confirm. 3. It makes 0 sense to include an extra panel in a budget case. You don't even get that in...

here's my playing around. I already have this GPU/block. I feel like it definitely needs something on the GPU side above the short GPU. I don't love this pump/res and it requires 4-slot GPU config. Anyone have ideas for a res that fits better here? I could just get the barrow pump/res instead...
