Aye! It's a great process and the thermals are really good.


I think with your top down cooler pulling fresh air directly from the side panel would yield great results even for the the 3800X.


As for the GPU temperatures, I think it's more ASRock's cooling solution/design being not as efficient as the Aero ITX probably. The default fan curve is pretty non-existent, and it just emphasizes too much on silence, in my opinion. I ain't an engineer and I can't presume to know anything about cooling designs, and it's probably not at throttling levels yet, but still, I don't know why they think that running fan speeds of maximum of 69% even when the card hits 90C is acceptable.


While gaming with a more reasonable fan curve, and undervolted, the GPU temps are around 65C to 70C after a couple of hours. Granted my ambient temperature is usually around 30C to 33C though.
