Log Lazer3d lZ7 > i7-10700 > MSI-RTX2070 (looking for opinion on temps)

[playerfh]

Greetings everybody!

Here's my new pc in a LAZER3d L7 case


I made pretty obvious build (for LZ7)

CORSAIR SF600 Platinum
with default power cables

ASUS ROG STRIX B-460i

Intel i7 10700F
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L12s
front fan: Noctua NF-A12x15

HyperX Fury 3200MHz 64 GB (2x32)

Samsung 970 PRO M2 512 GB
INTEL S4510 Series 1.9 TB
Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB

GeForce RTX 2070 AERO ITX 8G


Process became harder after Covid came into our life, but finally i got all the components and here it is: my first itx build.

Overall i'm happy with outtake, but want to hear you thoughts on cooling results, especially from those who have similar builds.

Running IntelBurnTest on High settings with 30 times to run gives max temp of 75° celcius (cpu package). Idle temp (average 24 hour) is 37°-38°.

I suppose it's not the worse result, but will gladly hear your opinion on how actually bad/good/normal is that, and how to improve that.

Best regards!

That looks normal.
My LZ7 has a delided i7 8700, NH-L12s, custom cables, nvme, 140mm front fan, CPU stays below 70° for the same test.
I gained around 10° with those changes (mainly delid)

PS : I have the same noisy GPU and here is how to make it silent in idle : https://smallformfactor.net/forum/t...zero-fan-bios-mod-explained.10199/post-189372

Thanks for reply! below 70 sounds very good, grats! Your solution for GPU fan seems promising! I've already gave up on that after contacting MSI - they said that 47% is minimum for gpu fan.

I think that custom cables could bring few degrees down in my case, will look at them, right now there's very few room below the top of the case.

Here's an idea for custom cables lengths : https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/lazer3d-lz7-quiet-gaming-cube-pc-case.596/post-178595 (got them from DreambigByRay on Etsy) . The vandal panel also removes a cable inside if you do not neet front I/O.

Gave up on MSI as a brand with the inconsiderate replies I got after asking help for this fan speed nonsense. I was trying to sell the card at the time, but since the mod the build is silent.

Thanks a lot!

Were there an difficulties connecting GPU Fan? Removing radiator cover or stuff like that?

No, it is straightforward. The adapter model I mention is 12cm long which is perfect, do not go below that.
