Exactly this. :)

The advantage of the cooler master is that you can adjust how close, of far, from the motherboard you want. Also move a bit to the right if the GPU interferes with the exhaust fan at the back. Not 100%, but that’s an idea.

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lian-li-vg4-4-v2x-vertical-gpu-kit-black-ca-7bt-ll.html OCUK doesn’t sell the Coolermaster one.

What about some vertical mount that allows to install the bracket quite high? Coolermaster V3 would allow 2 slots higher, removing the corner of the bracket. Also some Lian Li, like the one for the Evo or the old XL ones. Only issue would be that the GPU is oils overlap the CPU block, allowing...

Maybe the vibration is from the AIO. If you were closer to Cambridge I wouldn’t mind help you pinpoint the issue and sort it out. I can only imagine how hard must be for you. I’m just picky about noise and can get really frustrated by things most people won’t even notice. Reason why I’ve...

I had a H9 flow for a while. Very solid case. The only thing you can really improve, if your bottom fans are louder than expected, is to add some spacer. The lack of a bracket may look better, but no gap between the fan and the case can make some fans sound noisier than they should. Not an issue...

Jonsbo D41 is an option. The limiting factor will be PSU size and if you’re going for AIO or air. Not a small case, but not unnecessary wasted space either. Mesh is the go to, in my opinion.

Tried the P12 max, maybe didn’t let it smooth out long enough, but at low speed, which o use my fans most of the time, was a bit intrusive. Like some Asus PSUs, if you’re familiar.

Similar to the TUF 4080’s dimensions. Gear seekers, on YouTube, used the Coolermaster NR200P V2 for the massive Asus. https://youtu.be/8XubuoGa6TA?si=Zbahq-Wm9z8w3CK5

Had few OCZs showing issues. Long gone. Surprised yours still alive, despite the long time unused, but still. The manufacturer died before your SSD or your data. :D

Older coolers, despite their rated TDP may not be as efficient as newer and cheaper coolers available. Also, some coolers perform better on Intel, others on AMD. Cheapest option, get a Lancool 216 and a Phantom Spirit. The airflow is excellent, and you can reuse any fans you have around. AIO...

If the case have very thin panels it can vibrate. Also, if one of the screws holding the AIO isn’t secured properly, if can vibrate. I would suggest double checking if every fan screw is tightened properly. Sometimes we can miss one. Don’t need to go overboard and risk damaging the fan, but...

For me the T30s are the absolute best. Used the D30s for a while, and even if they don’t match the T30s for performance, they’re excellent fans, for those looking for RGB. None of the humming or clicking.

Because most full size ATX motherboards will have AIO/CPU/CPU-OPT PWM ports + 4 PWM fan ports for case fans. Considering that most decent motherboards will allow at least 1A per port, and most fans would be 0.2-0.3A (just be aware that the required A to start moving the fan will be higher than...

That’s the way I used to like my ARGB. Just a tint of teal or cyan. Now I only have solid blue with the minimal area of the Thermaltight Phantom Spirit Evo’s fans very thin line, and the tiny bit on the 4080 TUF. Behind the mesh of the North, barely noticeable.

MSI tomahawk B650 is a solid choice. Using an Asus B650E-F solid, but wouldn’t mind the MSI option. Thermalright Phantom Spirit Evo should perform better than the Noctua and costs around £40. Using here for the same CPU and the not best in class for airflow Fractal North and didn’t even bother...

So I guess an active backplate is a must. Back when I had a 3090, any decent waterblock, when ambiente was mere low 20s, and delta of 8C under load (3 x 360 45mm XT Alphacool), core temperature was well under control. But the memory at the back of the card was always near 90C under load. At 110C...

I would guess a 20% performance boost, but a bigger improvement in areas that really cripple fps (RT), as long more games use it heavily, will do. Not ideal, but enough to pull some 4080/4090 users that want that extra performance. Other segments more cost conscious won’t be jumping from a 4070...

AM4 ryzen had been fussy about RAM. Got better as new gen were released, but still may be the odd combination that won’t play. From my Ryzen 1600, to my Ryzen 3900x, then Intel 12700K, the Team Group 8Pack 3200 was brilliant. Was able to run 4 sticks at their rated speed and clocks. Later tried...

Glad no one mentioned cavitation for such small/low powered pump. :D As long the rad’s ports are above the pump level will be fine, until, many years dow the line coolant levels drop to the point of starving the pump. But for the first years, the only difference will be noise (disregarding...
