    Optimal M1 Cooling? (Air vs. AIO Water)

    My 6700k as far as I remember is to old for warranty so I can freely delid it. There are many "delid-services" in my country for 15$ so it is cheap and I lose nothing. It would be awesome to tune down fans to 800-1000 RPM and keep NCase silent. I am also looking for solution to decrease my PSU...

    Optimal M1 Cooling? (Air vs. AIO Water)

    Corsair H100X arrived yesterday and I tested two configurations: 1: Intake fans on side panel and radiator: It resulted in temps on CPU during gaming (Anthem Beta, Battlefield V) around 60-68 C (6700K stock, not delided) depending how much each core was used. Sadly this setup heated motherboard...

    EK Phoenix 240mm - will it fit?

    I may try to use rear 92mm as exhaust and side fans as intake. Probably I will check both solutions.

    Should I use radiator fans as intake or outtake from case for best results?

    Optimal M1 Cooling? (Air vs. AIO Water)

    Look at my topic: https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/ek-phoenix-240mm-will-it-fit.10129/ I have Intel i7 6700k (not delided yet) and EVGA RTX 2080 XC Ultra. For CPU cooling I am using Noctua U9S and it is bad in my opinion. I need to 92mm fans to spin at ~1200RPM to keep CPU around 75 C...

    EK Phoenix 240mm - will it fit?

    I decided to give a try an cheap AIO. Should I pickup 120mm or 240mm AIO? With 120mm I can have more intake fans and bigger inside pressure of cold air. In case of 240mm only back 92mm fan will pump cold air, and GPU will pump hot air. I am so annoyed of my current build that I am looking for...

    EK Phoenix 240mm - will it fit?

    It is significantly bigger than NCase and design isn't so cool so there completely no point in using it. I moved to NCase because I needed to take computer with me to flight because recently I am travelling a lot. NCase was small enough for hand luggage and of course NCase looks great ;)

    EK Phoenix 240mm - will it fit?

    Thank you for help. I may consider moving from NCase to something bigger, ATX sized. It is almost impossible to cool 6700k with fans below 1000 RPM and with quiet. :( From the other hand is EK Phoenix good AIO overall? I am considering cases like Cooler Master SL600M, Lian Li O11 Dynamic, NZXT...

    EK Phoenix 240mm - will it fit?

    Ok but I still can try 120mm version right? It should fit and should handle not overclocked CPU pretty well (better than Noctua U9S)?

    EK Phoenix 240mm - will it fit?

    Hello! I am looking for best possible and quiet cooling for my NCase M1 build: i7 6700k + EVGA RTX 2080 XC Ultra (3 slots). Right now I am using Noctua U9S with intake from behind of the case and outlet at the side. I also have two 120mm Scythe slip stream slim fans under GPU. I tried as much...
