@Tofu240, the gpu shift mod is relatively simple - you'll only need a drill driver, a file and a 3d printer for riser holder. Was able to move it by 24 mm and probably that's the maximum
This looks great! May i know your setup and temps?

How do you cool the 5950?Thanks @VELKASE Michael for making the Velka 5! Allowed me to cram a 3070 and 5950X in a sub 5 liter case. Lmao. I eagerly expect the next modification for future crazy upgrades.
Currently with a Noctua L9A at the moment. Hoping to get a Metalfish Z39 soon so I can blast the fan at higher RPM without the turbulence noise.How do you cool the 5950?

5950X is currently set to Eco-Mode and it runs fine for me. Once I get the Metalfish, going to bump it up to 100W in PPT and I'll be golden. 85% of the performance at much cooler temps.
No problem!Any reason for going with the Z39 instead of a Black Ridge? Haven't seen the Z39 before, so excuse my ignorance.
16 mmWhat size is the power button on a Velka 5 ver 1? I am looking to buy one with led lighting
For Velka 7,I've been really looking to transferring my hardware from a nr200p to a velka 7. Been really on the fence because I don't know what cpu cooler to get for my cpu. Any suggestions? Also pretty worried on the temps on the 3080 fe, but judging by pictures, atleast the the flow through fan isn't completely blocked off when removing the 2.5 drive bays.

Sorry forgot to mention I have some Corsair lpx. For the BlackRidge to run a 120mm fan you need some vlp ram. I’m guessing that would be the most optimum set up for that cooler? Prices for vlp ram are expensive.For Velka 7,
Your best option with minimal memory issues is Thermalright AXP-90 Full Copper.
Some people will argue BlackRidge is better, but you have to get LP memory for it to be good.
If you already have the lpx ram, then blackridge with the 92mm noctua fan-swap is probably the way to go. Haven't been able to find a side-by-side comparison with the AXP-90 Full Copper, but my impression is that the consensus in the SFF-community gives a slight edge to the BlackRidgeSorry forgot to mention I have some Corsair lpx.

Btw for anyone that has the case, found DisplayPort 1.4 extension that can be used to replace the supplied 1.2. Of course I haven’t tried them but something to consider atleast.

have you thought about flipping the PSU? I was considering that since I have a 3080 FE on the way but not sure if it'll fry my PSUI've been really looking to transferring my hardware from a nr200p to a velka 7.

Yes! It is the major benefit of Blackridge for Velka 7 and Metalfish Z39 for the Velka 3/5. Turbelence can be a bit high if fans run higher speeds.gonna add on here that blackridge will avoid bad turbulence
I did some testing back in the day when I was still (probably still am) indecisive about my case choices.If you already have the lpx ram, then blackridge with the 92mm noctua fan-swap is probably the way to go.

This is interesting! I assume that was with the 92mm noctua fan as intake? Either way, that is a good detail to add here, as I'm assuming the trade-off is then better thermals with more turbulence (louder) vs. worse thermals but few/no turbulence issues (AXP 90 vs BR). If that makes sense?I did some testing back in the day when I was still (probably still am) indecisive about my case choices.
If using the same 92mm Noctua fan, AXP 90 runs cooler than Blackridge.
If using a 120mm noctua fan, blackridge runs better than AXP 90 by like 1-2C.
Would you recommend doing this thermal pad swap for a relative beginner? Im not a fan of seeing Mem Junction rocket to 100+ whenever im rendering. Also I noticed your Core Temp is hotter than the repaste. is this due to thermal pad thickness inconsistencies with stock?GPU temps -
set up is
CPU - 5900x
GPU - 3080 FE
MB - Gigabyte B550i
RAM - 64GB HyperX Fury
SSD - 980 Pro
CPU cooler - Black Ridge + Noctua 92mm black fan + backplate from a Noctua kit
Regarding CPU temps etc:
- Undervolt to (0,0,0,15,15,15, 10,10,15,15,15,15)
- PPT 100, TDC 95, EDC 125
- Fan speed under load (CB23) 60%
- Temp - 75-80
- CB23 (Multicore) Current - 18.5K
- CB23 (Multicore) Score stock with 100% fan - 20.5K
So.. about the pad mod - the procedure is actually simple, so I was really scared during the mod but not as scared as when I heard for the first time what it sounds like in that case with 3500 RPM at 106C. Even with undervolt it was unusable for me, too hot, too loud and so close to the mem self-destruct limit... So it's probably an easy decision for anyone who do some memory intensive things and/or plan run it non-stop for hours/days, like rendering/science things or just mining (data science things for me).Would you recommend doing this thermal pad swap for a relative beginner?
