I'll have to wait for AIB cards as I need to be able to remove backplate on my GPU. I have a C14S with the pins facing downward so it can fit in my x570, they are like mm distance from my V56 without backplate.

Did anyone else see the NVIDIA presentation? 3080 for $699 and 370 for $499. Will these cards even fit in the NCASE? They look gigantic.

I can't find any info regarding this. Has anyone weighed their NCase fully built? I don't have a scale and I'd like to know an approximate weight for the case.

I will have to travel by plane and wish to take my NCASE as carry on, is there any bag you guys would recommend?

Nobody has said that a 3700X is unusable in that case, you may have to compromise on hight temps and fan noise, or undervolt. I think I've read that Ryzen 3000 can go above 80C with no throttling. There is no info on Ryzen 4000 so who knows.

From what I've read in the DAN thread you will have better temps with the 3600 than the 3700X. If you already have the 3700X I think you should keep it unless temps are too high, you'd have to sell it and then buy a new 3600; it'd probably end up being like what a $50 difference? Or just wait...

Just for gaming go 3600 or 3600X if the price difference is minimal, the extra you pay for the 3700X or 3800X would be better invested for another component.

I know right, AMD-BROS where we at! Nvidiasimps are raging!

02 best girl.

Would you guys think that removing the Vega 56 blower shroud and placing 2 NF-A12X25 fans underneath would help with temps (and therefore noise) or there is no point to this?

Going technical with this question, is there any loss in audio quality if I connect headphones or speakers through my monitor audio jack?

I have not found anyone describing what I did, so I decided to post it for future reference. For all of those who don't know, the x570i Aorus board (and b450i) cpu socket is a bit more displaced than others, this does not let you close the top panel while having installed the C14S in its normal...

I guess someday I'll buy a a A12x25 and see if it helps best on the side panel or under the gpu.

Is there any benefit in putting an NF-A12x25 under a blower card (Vega 56)?

I'd go with Ncase.
