Have you set any deadline? If your UPS contact is contacting the receiving countries, extrapolating from the time taken to fix shipping for AU/KR it's going to be several weeks until a quote. Even now it's been a couple of weeks.
Thanks Alex appreciate it
will be building it over the next few days very excited.@AlexTzone made a video about it as it was first reported by someone.
Whether you do this for the marketing material is up to you, but for the testing it would be desirable to allow the fans for the non-booster cell configuration to go higher to match the noise of the system with the booster cell. This is important to demonstrate the specific improvement of the booster cell than rather just having more generic airflow. I.e. if the same effect can be achieved by for example increasing the GPU fanspeed, then it is less attractive. I assume adding the booster cell has its own noise penalty, and so the configuration without it needs to be allowed to increase its fans to match the noise of having another fan.Performed a controlled test with the Booster Cell — very positively surprised by the improvements in GPU thermals — 7°C!
Recently switched back to the original front and noted that the case got a bit louder and warmer compared to before when I used the Booster. There was significant heat buildup on the front cap, especially around the area where the Booster Cell fan would be located — so it was time to take a deeper look.
AMBIENT TEMP: 28°C (hot in Sweden atm)
HARDWARE
- GPU: RTX 3080 XC3
- Undervolt: 837mV, 1875Mhz
- CPU: 5900X
- PSU: SF600
- Motherboard: Strix X570-I
- RAM: HyperX Fury 3200Mhz 64GB
- AIO: Corsair H55 + NF-A12x25
- Fan set to pull/intake
- Motherboard fan: NF-A12x15
- Fan set to push/exhaust
- Booster Cell (later) + Silverstone 120x15mm fan
- Fan set to push/exhaust
FAN SPEEDS
We targeted GPU thermals of 75°C in the original configuration to see how they would improve with the Booster Cell. Noise levels were ~44dB 30cm from the case.
- GPU fans (3): 1650 rpm
- Motherboard fan: 1500 rpm
RESULTS — 3080 XC3 (CUDA rendering)
- Original front cap: 77°C
- Booster Cell: 70°C
ADDITIONAL NOTES
- The case didn’t heat up as much overall (not only cooler on the front cap)
- Further 2°C GPU improvement can be achieved by setting the AIO fan to push/exhaust, but it worsens CPU thermals. Pull/intake yields more balanced results across the GPU/CPU.
We will redo everything officially using standard benchmarks though, but now there’s a clear point to it.
Edit: haha @For_Science talk about a good coincidence, even if there’s no such thing, only the illusion of coincidence
yeah...its always a bit of an open discussion when it comes to noise normalization (e.g. do you increase the GPU fan speed? AIO fan speed? etc). I would say set the booster to a fixed rpm of whatever, and then increase the GPU fan speed of the non-booster cell to match the noise of the booster-celled unit. But dunno, ultimately its up to you and somebody will find a way to be unhappy with the setup so don't dwell on it for too long
| CPU | 46C |
| Motherboard | 40C |
| CPU Package | 51C |
| Chipset | 72C |
| CPU FAN | 0671 rpm |
| Chassis Fan 1 | 0 (I don't know why...it is connected and spinning...probably a 3pin vs 4 pin splitter) |
| AIO Pump | 4054 rpm |
| VRM HS Fan | 0 rpm |
It won't fit. The Mjolnir has 51mm height for air cooling and the L12S is 70mm tall. I don't remember who but someone here was going to try a C7 which would fit on a 5000X CPU IIRC.
I dont see anything off with your numbers, the random reboots are probably just caused by the undervolting
Cheers thanks. I just hope a cryorig or the mysterious ali express AXP90-X53 can handle a R9 5000X. And this is an ambitious bit, without an undervolt? Can it be done?
