@Uruk by the way, did you notice noise reduction by moving to C14S instead of Corsair AIO?thanks for sharing.
You are right with your personal setup (dual top exhaust fans, vertical stand), C14S seems to work pretty well!
Next step is to wait for new Noctua NF-A14x25 with sterrox blades..(2021 apparently..
Big difference while gaming. Now I can set graphics card fans to 50-55% (65-70% before) and keep GPU temperatures under 70ºC.
ah ok...big difference on GPU noise as it has access to fresh air..
In case of pure cpu load, did you notice some improvment also?
Not really. Take into account that the system have now two additional fans, so I had to tweak the curves to get the same noise level as before in pure CPU load work.
ahah..
Well Fan Xpert 4 is pretty convenient. My main concern is that HWinfo64 needs to be launched after it...otherwise hwinfo64 is not refreshing all MB data. I also found Fan Xpert could lose its mind (all fan at maximum or zero) while HWinfo64 is activated. (works like a charm with/along MSI afterburner)
BUT...as I'm flashing usually my bios I just keep standard preset on fan curve in bios and I adjust/tune every fan on Fan Xpert 4...so practical...
At last, Fan xpert 4 is capable to remove/increase maximum temperature of 70°C/75°C (impossible to remove/increase in bios)
Not perfect, but Fan Xpert 4 is now pretty useful..
Yeah it is a 5 inch display attached to the back of the psu. There is an additional display on the motherboard for cpu temp and a display on the gpu block for water temp. Custom made glass panel.

I am looking to purchase another Cerberus X.
Can you guys machine the holes for the side panel and flip the side panel and machine the holes on both the top and bottom half of the side panel? This way you would not even have to re-model.
I plan to do another triple GPU setup and a side fan for the GPU is really helpful. While I only drilled halfway because that's all I needed for the PSU fan, I still want it machined completely.
There is enough space to mount a 120mm fan to the inside of the side panel. It does not look beautiful but it was needed to have enough airflow to accommodate for the top GPU.
For reference, this is what I have done.
If this is possible for you guys to do, I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much and have a great day!

Hello friends,
I am wondering what the likelihood of getting updated front IO for the Cerberus case is. So far the only thing holding me back from buying one is the lack of a front USB-C port.
Perhaps the manufacturer will release an updated USB-C connector and associated top panel in the future, what do you think?

On a 240mm radiator yes, a 280mm no.
I have something I might release, depends on another project. It would be a USB C that mounts out the side of the front vertical slots. Would not replace the top USB A ports.
I've seen it and it works, but I can't find a picture.
Here's a video of someone who did it to mount a pump/res where the PSU normally is:
Problem with the current panels is that a full perforated side would wind up like a potato chip, warped all over. Would have to make it a two piece side panel to really make full side perforation work. Shoot me an email on this, will go over some ideas - [email protected]
This is gorgeous! Going to throw one of these pictures up on our FB credit to you!

Does anyone know why this thread does not give me alerts / updates to responses? Sorry I have been absent, it just seemed like no one was responding to this thread.
I've had issues where if I missed more than 2 thread updates, for example logging in and clicking the notification bell but not visiting a specific thread twice, then I no longer received updates until I manually navigated to the thread again. Not sure if its a bug or a feature, but it has been my experience with a number of threads I watch.
I think that is a feature. And I like that feature a lot. Because if one is not intended to visit the thread often, but only at a certain time when the topic is interesting, then they'll get updates in correlation to how active the user is on the thread. Saves the inbox folder of the e-mail.
