True Fan collector you are..
For a while I was experimenting with different fan testing, both as case fans, and through radiators/towers; combining that with building quite a few rigs for friends and having them throw an extra fan or 2 my way as compensation, led to an entire closet that the wife wishes she could have back.
Glad to hear! Busy is good. I know you posted about it, more than likely, but did you ultimately stay semi-passive?
Well, I had a lot of issues with my 3700x on the itx Asus Strix x470 board. Memory was not working right and Temps were nuts. I was able to get my hands on the Gigabyte x570 itx and it worked better but temps were still high. I actually said Fooook it and threw on a NH-U9S. That has kept the temps good and quiet.
The reason I still have that config is because I have been busy, and the pc sits on my desk so that I don't see the cpu side anyways so as far as anyone knows, the side is on the case haha.
Sadly, I am one of those people that when they get into something, they go nuts. I must have 40+ mechanical keyboards/Topre boards. Don't even get me started on the Fightstick collection.
Fan's are pretty easy to buy in comparison haha.

Long building day finished...SM550 assembled!
I’ll do a full review, here are some thoughts..
I’ll do a full review, here are some thoughts..
- Using passive noctua nh l9x65 is not really effective
- Using asetek 645LT
- is limiting gpu thickness to 2-slots (tubing is touching bottom of GPU)
- is not imposing customized cables (i’m using corsair sf450) but it requires 92mm fan grid
- Asetek 645LT should be introduced from gpu side, instead of mb side
- I understand now why top cover is screwed as it needs to push all top cables
- Appreciate a lot symmetrical front dual ssd bracket, but it require specific flat power cables
@MarcParis glad you like it. It is indeed a nice case. I don't even use a ssd in the front of mine as I use it to store cables haha.
You will see, I store also quite many cables behind front cover lol

appreciate it, but I’m having a difficult time understanding why that looks nothing like the connectors shown in the manual.
page 43
Will need the first option on the page "19-Pin Connector*" as that board does not have the Type E header.
This is Type E:
Updated my SM550 with a Noctua NF-A12x15 Chromax. The Prolimatech I was using worked fine but when Noctua finally released the 15mm I had to grab it to match my NF-F12 Chromax.

thanks, all

My choice is way more complicated as I already own original Noctua fan...so switching to chromax variant makes no sense, especially from recycling point of view (I've 6 fans in my Cerberus-X..
.Here is a small trailer of my SM550 setup (definitely won't change my NF-A9x14 PWM (2500rpm version from nh L9x65) to NF-A9x14 HS-PWM chromax.black.swap ) :
From my current study I'm assuming that Aseek 645LT (9v) is capable to cool Quietly 76W cpu..
And I truly appreciate, even compare to Noctua NH L9x65..In max performance I found something like 90W cpu, but it become noisy&hot cooling. It could be limited to poor original thermal paste between cpu and IHS in my 4770K.
Okay, so my SM580 came yesterday. Found out the Arctic 280mm is too thick... Interferes with the clip upper clip mechanism. And even if it did fit there the hose are insanely rigid and the block does not rotate at all with them at all. So I called it a wash, sending it back (well soon at least) and ordered an X62 since its recommended to fit anyways. Also sending the Gigabyte X570 back since the Strix came in stock. Now for more of the waiting game.
Still debating on just using my MORA3. Just trying to find a clever way how I would keep the pump + fans powered without running random wires from the 580.

Might be worth delidding and LMing your chip. My 4790k dropped by nearly 20 C after said process.
