Hey folks,
New to the forums here, however very excited that I got the shiny new a4-sfx v3 on Thursday and got it all together. Plan on geting some cablemod stuff going on to shorten the mess under the power supply, however it all fit in there. Specs:
Intel i7 8700k w/ Cyrorig C7
GTX 1070 FE
ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-I GAMING Motherboard
2x 8GB Trident DDR4
250gb/1tb m.2 Samsung 950 EVOs
Corsair SF600 PSU
Prior to this arriving it was in a Corsair 250D and apparently provided its own "sound insulation" without even realizing it. Got it all together, temps are looking about the same as they were both during idle and long load times, however, god dang is that fan loud. The multi core enhancement is turned off, and I did adjust the fan levels to be a little more aggressive (tiny case, wanted to pump more air, but these were the same settings in the 250d), but not significantly more than what was factory. It's the same with the panel both on and off, so shouldn't be a matter of if it's getting enough air.
Was wondering what other folks were using for their cooler and if they had noise complaints or not. Was thinking about trying some acoustic insulation padding in areas where there is room to see if it made any difference. Thoughts?
