Why not simply use the fan headers on the motherboard and a Y-splitter if needed? You also save a little powerbudget for your card if your source the power for the fans from somewhere else. With this software you get the best fan controls there is and it's what I use to control the 2 Noctuas...

I never tried it in the end. The Ventus 3090 is for sure one of the worst 3090 but the easiest to deshroud and with some UV and a Bios Mod still a good candidate for air-cooling inside an M1. Only the Ventus 3080 has the composite Graphene backplate. The Ventus 3090 has brushed metal...

GPU is set to max 0.850V@1875Mhz and Memory@20000MHz but temperatures depend on the Power Budget used. Cyberpunk uses around 330W and hovers around 69°C with my fancurve but Battlefield V or Anno 1800 with a bit of resolution scaling use up to 380Watts at just 0.850V with temperatures around...

I case anyone is interested, I opted for deshrouding my card and installed 2x A12x25 at the bottom as exhaust. All other fans are also exhausting and seems what many are saying is the way to go, get as much heat ouf the case as possible. :) I also won't be reinstalling any 92mm fan at the back...

Hi At first, sorry for my bad english :) Coming from a 2080S Strix with a 3700X I've upgraded to a MSI Ventus 3090 OC and a Ryzen 5950x. I was planning to get a 5800X or 5900X but the 5950X was the only available CPU in store that day and I knew this is going to be difficult to air-cool and...

Thanks for all the inputs. I guess I have to check the thermal interface on the chipset cooler and I agree cable management is far from optimal. Actually I'm waiting for Noctua fan clips NM-SFC14 to attach the NF-12x25 properly to the cooler. The included NM-SFC17 are obviously too long for...

Great, I"m wondering how this is gonna work out. The VRM fan is not the issue and never exceeded 2000rpm no matter the load. Only the PCH fan goes nuts and I think the whole cooler construction for the chipset with the sandwiched NVMe (especially the pretty power hungry EVO+) between is not...

I just finished a very similar build with Asus ROG Strix RTX 2080 Super O8G and I confirm the GPU with the stock cooler fits perfectly. It’s actually easy to fit the card with the front IOs removed. I did not try with the front IOs in as I prefer the look of the clean front but I believe the...

I got mine today (Switzerland). ? Had to pay CHF 26.50 7.7% VAT - about 30 USD. I thought it will arrive much later in January (I went with the cheap 2-4 weeks option), can't start with the build as we are off for the holidays. First world problems ? But I guess everybody else is happy they...

I also get "confirmed" and "preparingtoship" since days.

I'm planning a similar build with a Strix 2080S (since it should fit according to recent reports) but ditch the 140mm all together and follow the approach of this guy: Not sure yet if I will add another 120x15mm on the bottom of the C14S
