You don't have to worry about GPU performance if you cant buy one because they're all sold out 🤔 🤔 🤔
go look at 1060 prices on newegg
not sold out, not stupid expensive,
Those prices are pretty stupid as 1080s a year ago was around 500-600 and now 1060s are that price....
sinbads dad Actually went and looked at newegg, just this second. Only one 1060 under $400 and it is a single fan, 3gb card. And thats at $385. Vega 56 at $1000, Vega 64 at $1200. 1050ti's are over $300 even. Either you're a troll, or you're talking out of your ass. Are they sold out? No. But they are stupidly expensive.
About time that the americans feel the pain of expensive pc parts that australians have been forever
70c on card , 70F in the room...because using one metric is too difficult !
70c on the card, 26 and 9 sevenths of a hamburger in the room
You don't know that room temp is around 25C?... just memorize everyday numbers if it bothers you so lol.
@@tommyboy5924 are you trying to say room temperatures everywhere around the world. And everyone keeps their air conditioning settings at the same level.
@@sameerchakma ~70F (or about 25C) is what most in the U.S. are referring to when they say room temp.
This is a video by an American youtuber with a mostly American audience. Hence most of the audience considering room temp to be about 70F. Not that hard for those people to remember that that single measurement is roughly = to 25C
@@sameerchakma I, for one, generally keep my house at 65F. That said, I don't answer with 65F if someone is asking about room temp as that is not the usual. I generally answer with 72F as that's (again, in the U.S.) generally what is considered room temp
Does not having a GPU affect gpu performance 🤔
nah
children, behave. So what you’re telling me, is my R5 1600 can game without a GPU? Sweet thanks! Lol
pleb alert
That's my PC right there
Tiny Box Tim not even joking I have a $1100 cad paperweight lol
"Hey Jay would you like to get lunch?"
Jay: "I digress"
Jay: as you can see the GPU is sitting at about 70C
Also Jay: note the rooms ambient temperature is about 69F
Me: ...that helps :/
DieSturmgeschutz lol 70C is about 160F I think, actually a liiiitttle less but in the area
grandpasgrandson thanks makes it a little easier to understand the difference now
hah, I thought the same
C is better and easier
indeed
Put an LS in it.
test it on the ghost case, i would love to se the diffrent coolers and how it is affected by that case
FejFTv And now in English.
Translation: Test it on the ghost case. I would love to see the different cooler and how it is affected by that case.
Mr. Anderson thank you
or an H400i
why do i feel like if you had put Mr. Anderson on the end it would be a movie quote?
Hi Jay, I'm a newbie to your channel and I will be building my first HTPC in the next few weeks. Your channel is AWESOME, extremely informative, easier to understand (compared to other channels) and you come across as a very genuine guy. Your personality just shines through your videos and I think that's what made me watch them the most. I don't usually comment on videos but I felt I needed to because you are appreciated (even from the other side of the world). I'm from Melbourne, Australia and you are reaching us here too :)
Distraction Free design. IS LITERALLY RGB
Unless you are overclocking a lot, have lots of storage drives, multiple gpus, there's pretty much no reason not to get a small itx case
costs a little bit more than the midi tower big brother.
Unless you like the way larger cases look. Or unless you might want at one point to upgrade it in some way that would require a bigger case.
I'm in college and I could not agree with you more. I'm always moving between my girlfriend's apartment, mine, and going home occasionally to work over breaks. A small pc makes it soooo easy to pick up and move if needed.
Small itx motherboards are actually more expensive than full ATX. Micro atx is really the sweet spot. It is in between a full atx and an itx, and is the cheapest option.
I take the middle ground... I have four PCs in my house... all four are in MATX cases.
Proving heat bloom isn’t really that big of a deal in smaller environments. Doing God’s work Jay!
Woa. Shaky Camera is really bad. The Camera work was so good in the past. Please bring it back.
he hired an employee, and fired the tripod for being unreliable and late clocking in...probably been smoking the reefer.....
during tech talk, he said a few videos are demoing potential employees. I'm guessing this is one of them...
A bit too unstable to be a cameraman ^^
Since the shots are very limited in viewpoints, why not have the camera on a tripod?
Test Linus Tech Tips custom build compute case.
2x4 wood and spray pain is "custom" but not really quality. this comment is brought to you by tunnelbear
get2choppa Most of the Linus audience is under 18, and in sure plenty are 13 ish, he's a salesman, a good one. but not the place for good tech information.
As someone who is almost as old as Linus, I have to say that Linus DOES cater to the teen crowd and people with technolust. I think Linus caters to people who wish they had infinite $$ to get whatever they wanted. I still watch 99% of his videos. I don't too much care for the other tech TH-camrs as they are more informational and less entertaining. I do PC building/repair for a living and get want to see technology videos as entertainment. No offense to Jay, but this video was GOOD but more informational and less entertaining. We already knew the outcome of the video before he did it, so why not have some fun doing it and let the dun show... I watch Jay for the informational aspect though (I have to have that one channel I watch for purely tech information).
Matthew Bauer I'm 62 and have been in computers since my first Amiga, for good info I like Computerphile, smart guys, Steve at Gamer's Nexus is getting some well deserved recognition lately, personally I prefer reading tech stuff more than videos, I have said it before, most of the tech review channels are the same, people watch a favorite for the personality, we don't need 20 reviews come out at the same time after a NDA on a GPU or CPU is released, all the results are pretty much the same.
Did we know the outcome? I expected the answer to be yes. I was surprised when the answer was no.
This is an inaccurate result because your ambient temp is good. If you are in a tropical place, you will appreciate more of the difference. I used to have a mid tower before without a top mount, so I had to put the radiator in front just like this one on your video. I played Monster Hunter World for an hour or so and my GPU sits at around 80C and my CPU at aroun 75-88C.. Then I decided to get a full tower case with a top mount, and my temp drop to 60C max for the GPU and 65C max for the CPU... That's 20C diff lol.. I live in the Phils. and I don't have an aircon, so it gets really hot here mid day.. Hope this honest data I have will help others wondering here with your vid.
so mas maganda naka full tower? anung case gamit mo today? ok lang ba kung naka noctua nhd15 tpos 2x noctua 120mm fan sa front?or need q dn sa top ng 2x 120mm?
@@jonpaulchavez1459 D ko alam yung case na yan eh, pero gamit ko is Cougar Evo Panzer RGB.. 3 Fans sa harap, isa sa likod, tapos sa taas may open-air space para sa radiator... So yung steam sa likod at taas lumalabas, tapos yung 3 fan sa harap nag dadala hangin para sa GPU... Yung CPU nka watercool so palag lng, solo nmn ng radiator yung top part ng case na open-air..
i was about to build ITX gaming pc at nasa Philippines din ako. I dont even have aircon. i guess i have to go for mid or full tower, i cant imagine gaano ka init kapag itx tapos daily gaming, parang toaster na ahh..
Leonid basta mgnda ung vent ok ata, pero full tower pra sure lol.
You need to make a Channel And some tests for us hahahaha
Try this on the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv. Was considering buying it, but concerned about the airflow.
Bosound lol Phanteks look like saint in air flow compared to my Corsair Spec Omega lol
Itx?
Yep, it's pretty notorious of having bad exit airflow. I got the mATX newer fixed version, been great and fits anything, so go with that :) (my issue was that almost no new case fits any proper air cooler, mine being Phanteks PH-TC14PE and with fans it's over 180mm tall)
I don't know what data you are looking at but Airflow is not that big an issue as long as Airflow is present. You people love to over complicate shit. I have built PC's since the 286 days and even repairs on the c64 in my teens. Never have I come across even back then airflow issues causing a failure. That was in the ribbon cable days too. The store bought crap had those issues and those are the stories that still scare the uneducated PC builders to this very day. The only time Airflow might cause an issue is if you join the dummy ranks and start overclocking for negligible gains. Yes the gains aren't enough to warrant the excess heat unless you add water to your electrical system, which in itself screams Dumbass.
Robert Kowalke you have no clue what ur talking about. Enthoo evolv itx has a massive difference in temps when you remove the front panel. All the evolv cases are terrible without modification.
For a case that cuts off the air - you need to try the InWin 301 mATX. Small hexagonal cutouts on the side with the cables behind it.
we need to go smaller! like the ncase
www.louqe.com/
yep the Ncase m1 should be next :)
The origin pc chronos case would be a worthy candidate for this experiment Jay.
lately the Paul, Kyle, Jay teams shaky cams are in full force. i haven't been trying to say anything but this video was bothering me.
yeah dude. it bothers me a lot. I feel like i have motion sickness or something.
Or software stabilisation in post (that's also what 4k cams are for).
OMG.
I love his videos but I always felt inconfortable watching these.
I would never understand why.
You just explained where does my sick feeling comes from. If I just listen to him it's fine. But watching the shaky videos is horrendous
I think he is testing out some new camera guys :)
Chuckles Nuts this is made worse by the fact that I watch everything in1.5 or 2x speed
2020 Update - funny I just build a more modern version NZXT 210, and EVGA XC3 Ultra 3080 (one of the few next gen cards that fits the case) I use a 140mm intake in front to the graphics, a 120mm AIO intake for the CPU (3700x) and I do have issues cooling the 3080, its a beast and to keep it below 70deg. C. means to reduce the power to about 70%, Airflow is optimised the graphic cart wont get cooler if I open the chasi. I plan to change the top 120mm to a 140mm. But over all it is a challenge, in sense of noice and thermals. Card at 100% can pass 80deg. C. so I reduce the power, as my 4k TV is here the bottleneck with its 60hz.
BTW the front intake is more than enough despite the solid metal front....I once mounted a wooden plate to my case at the front to see how much "intake" you actually need. Turns out the temperature didn't go up until a gap of 3mm!!!
So yeah the result of your paper test fits in line with that. You really only need a gap of 3mm (maybe 5 to be safe) in front of your fan to have sufficient airflow.
On a side note: these fans are designed to take air radially in an blow it out in axial direction. This again fits in line with the conducted tests. :)
69 degrees. "kind of cold"
Regards from MN.
everennui im from mn and it was like 20 yesterday, and i was in shorts and a t shirt lmao
I am also from MN and I wish it was 69.
lol it was 32f i though i was dying
I live near Duluth, MN and there's about 2 feet of snow with high temps usually in the teens. 69 is nowhere near cold.
Ayyy MN represent! If I run my heat any higher then like 65 in my old house my gas bill is more than 100 bucks. So it's like 63-64 F and my PC loves it.. 7600k running at 5ghz stable and my MSI rx580 is stable at 1410 mhz vs 1366 stock.
is it good to keep the case open if its like this?
In my Fractal Design Node 202, my temps suffered with an EVGA 1080ti FTW3, thermal throttling. Once I added 2 fans sandwiched with the gpu, it went bloody well.
Any of the In Win tempered glass cases. The 901 was super popular but very limited in cooling performance, and I’m sure the micro atx / Atx variants are similar. Would be a great way to show how rads can impact performance
Has anyone ever told you? You'd look like geralt of rivia from witcher 3 if you had longer hair lol
labib haque a derpy version maybe
labib haque not to dis jay
labib haque now that you mentioned im gonna do some special effects on him to see if it works lol
Try the CiT Blaze gaming case from amazon. The Front panel is literally put up against the Fans so they dont move any air at all because the Fans are mounted on the outside of the case shroud.
Can you try the Inwin 301. Small and beautiful case, but I think awful airflow
I agree, they are totally beautiful and unique (the 301 maybe not so much)! I was getting bored of the standard case layout, so I got the 303, and I love it.
About the 301: you can put 4 intakes in it! That would be very high positive pressure, especially in such a small case. It would push the air right out through the back perforations, the PSU, and the rear fan. I'd make the bottom fans be the strongest (fastest), the exhaust medium, and the ones in the front the weakest (so they wouldn't block the perforations on the back).
Here's how I'd set up mine: 2* Bitfenix Spectre LED on the bottom up to 55% pwm intake, 1 spectre in the rear up to 45% exhaust, 240mm rad in the front with 2 spectres up to 40-45% intake (or exhaust, if temps > dust, at 40%). I'd use spectres, cause I'm a cheap ass mofo, and I also find them great. Silent on low, strong af on high speed (while remaining pretty quiet).
And also be sure to use a psu which doesn't have a 0rpm mode, cause you'll need it for exhaust.
FYI: I have a 303, with a 240mm radiator in the bottom between 2 spectres, and 2 EK Vardars (these go up to 12% pwm, cause they would be LOUD otherwise), and a 3rd spectre in the rear-most spot, right under the msi gaming gtx 980. The radiator cools a 5Ghz 7700k. Rear exhaust = spectre; top exhaust 3 140mm be quiet shadow wings (at 7V, ~600rpm), and I put the case's stock fan (@7V) onto the perforated side panel (using twist ties), cause air was getting trapped there.
It's flawless. Silent at idle, barely audible at 100% load with a low frequency sound, which isn't annoying at all. CPU and GPU go up to 60C (in cpu heavy and/or poorly optimised games, such as AC origins, tc wildlands; otherwise 55 is tops).
I have the 301 with a 8700k and a Titan Z I got used (dual gpu card). The Titan card is a bitch in terms of cooling, runs hot no matter what you do... I have a x52 radiator on the front fan mounts that works as an exhaust, having it intake cooked the motherboard, the rear fan and two bottom fan as intake.
It works fairly well, the Titan is 375w tdp so I have no chance cooling it at all without it getting very, very loud...
Trying to get hold of a 1080 but ya know...
I always wanted to switch to a quiet case as my PC is in the living room. A test with one of those padded silent cases would be nice to see if it's OK for a gamer like me (overclocking everything is normal for me).
Removing the side panel doesn't equate to a suddenly 'ideal' scenario. With the side panel on the air is forced to rise (both naturally and because of the front intakes) and then be efficiently exhausted by the top fans, but with it off you suddenly lose that natural cycle of airflow and so less heat is actively moved away from the gpu. A straight case swap using the same fans was needed to show results here.
With the case side off, the fans are less effective at removing the heat.
It seems jay was too drunk to consider that the 2x 120mm fans on the back and top of the case were actually doing something useful with the side panel on the case?
Maverick Wagner when he's testing it you can see the window... it's closed
I guess you did not watch the entire video.
It had nothing to do with the fans you idiots he was wanting to see how much air flow restriction the "HOLES" on the "CASE" and radiator had when bringing fresh air across the GPU....
Try the same thing with amd rx 5700xt from asus strix since it got some thermal issues
Tbh I don't know why pc cases don't have an exhaust fan behind the GPU . Should have 2 exhaust fans . Effectively creating 2 airflow channels in the case
Guess the cameraman finished off the bud light ;)
ha! so no worries with my compact case, thanks for this video, massively helpful!
Phanteks Evolv ATX tempered glass edition, got this case and has some temps issues , but I made the following changes and seems to be working just fine: Distanced the front plate by adding some stands + longer screws with this I got a 1 cm increase in the side gap (more air flow instantly dropping like 3/4 C on GPU) , CPU radiator up ( it's a 280mm so I blocked off the remaining space on the radiator tray with a thin plastic or cardboard and duct tape, stealthy mod I should add) , and unscrewed the top panel backside for more exhaust (no performance gain for this one though). Next step would be drilling breathing holes/gaps (pattern or model, imagination goes wild on this one) on front plate and/or top, but before I do that permanent mod I would really love to see some more suggestions / mods and so on. I know you have one around there so let's do this !
Cheers !
Thank you, I just put my setup in a smaller case, and it's about 24mm above the bottom of the case, or PSU shroud if you will, but it goes most of the bottom of the case, and I wasn't sure if this would be bad for the GPU. My temps, honestly didn't go up, OTHER THAN my GPU junction temps????? No idea how/why, but I swear on my life that is the only thing that changed..... Weird... Oh, one more mention, the GPU used to sit on a vertical mount in the bigger case, and now it is horizontal or normal, whatever you wanna call it. Anyway, thanks for the video, it makes me rest easier.
So... No fans, no vents, small case = high temperature, performance degrades.
More fans, more vents, bigger case = better performance.
Isn't that a given?
There's also the rear fan that is pretty close to the card which takes out a large amount of that heat.
people say NZXT H440 has really bad air flow (im using the 2015 edition and not the original 2014 one) but i think the air flow is fine, would love to see you testing it using that case :)
my NZXT H200 case came with a GPU card support spacer which mounts anywhere on those venting holes to support the card and prevent sag.
NCASE M1
I second the Ncase
Philippe Lamounier here here ! but the m case is actually very open.
Dear God I wish I could put two gpus in that case
""Open" but super compact, and it'll get hot on the outside, surely when u put a rad on the side panel or put the case in a closet (lol...):/
Thermaltake view 37 argb. My Gigabyte rtx 3070 Hit 80-82 degrees.
Same parts in a corsair 4000x and it don't even touch the 70s.
Guru3D recommends using a SF PSU so more air come out from the PSU shroud. Or an EVGA shorter PSU can do the trick too.
8:29 demonetized
Pre-watch: I would think all that mattered was the amount of air going through the case. As long as a good amount of air was going over the components and then swiftly being grabbed by the exhaust fans, then it would be fine. Say, for example, a 70 to 75 degree room would be a nice benchmark, but in an Arizonan/Southern Californian summer, it would be a little bit worse. Choking airflow off from the internal components while it is already warm in the room would just be worst case scenario.
Luckily I don't have a GPU for my small case to affect so I can sleep easy at night!!
Fractal design define nano s, with an atx power supply. It's like 5mm between the PSU's top and the GPU's fan.
I love the beginner stuff, those vids help me out before I jump into the computer building world. I'm very confused on where to start, gonna get a coolermaster case and go from there I guess. Learning tons! Thanks for the vids!
No, but thermal throttling does...
With at least one fan in front and one in the back you will have enough airflow. LTT did 2 videos related to this with conclusive results. One, that 2 fans are enough (intake and exhaust) and second one that cable management and blocked GPU/CPU fan don't matter.
1. Case Fans - How many should you have?
2. Cable Management - Does it impact cooling performance? At all?...
The Loque Ghost MKII would be an interesting test.
That nzxt case is awesome!
Phanteks Evolve Shift! I have one and it is awful for non-blower GPU cooling. I currently run a 140mm rad push pull setup for intake/CPU cooling at the bottom with a single 140mm exhaust at the top. I have an EVGA ACX 970 and have max all 3 system fans to reach decent temps, while also adjusting the GPU fan curve. If I leave the fans on a normal curve, the GPU reaches 85c in seconds with normal gaming load. Switching to a blower style GPU is night and day with temps.
I love that screen! I still need one for my moviemaking. Now i know what inch i need.
Jay, that case has an included standoff for the GPU
Try the CM MasterBox Lite 5, a lot of people say that the fans in front don't get a lot of airflow. Test this. And then test it with the front panel not fully clipped in (only the 2 on top clipped in if you get what I mean).
SG13
Yes good idea
Glad to see the 'Transition' is back! I haven't heard it in ages....Or maybe I just do it in my head so much i don't hear it?!
Tommorow is my birthday !!
Harshit Varma Congratulations, you are now one year closer to death.
HAPPYHDAY RANDOM PERSON ON THE INTERNET!
ik that this case isn't specifically restricting airflow to the GPU, but I have seen people complaining about airflow on the 570X. As I personally own this case, I would love to see if there's a good way to keep most of the glass, but still have better airflow!
guess that is a worst case sanerio ^^
Punny AF ahhhhaha worst "case"
Not even watching anymore lol - just enjoying your voice jay! it's so relaxing
Fractal design nano s
that's a good ariflow case example, I'm sure temps would be the same as in this video or lower, since it doesn't come with a PSU shroud. And if you're using an SFX PSU, you got even more space and air.
I have the technological masterpiece that is the Corsair One Pro (1080Ti) For the last two years I had the Fractal Node 202 with the Big Shuriken CPU cooler and the MSI X 8G 1080. Both systems had excellent temps. The Corsair One with liquid cooled AiO is obviously better, but both were cool beasts. Proper airflow is always key. Now, when is Project Orthus going to start crowd funding so we can finally Small-Form-Factor our SLI wet dream?
NZXT H440 gpu cooker
philip jenkins just take the front panel off
was going to write this as well. Sure you can take the front panel off but it doesn't look good.
And motherboard cooker too
I have no idea why some say front is bad location for rad. If the fans are blowing out, it's the most unrestricted exhaust besides the top.
RVZ01
It may sound stupid, but try it in the stock config and then take off the top plastic piece and both air filters. My GPU temps and fan RPM changed dramatically.
Also, I'd try to remove as many variables as possible. Maybe try to set a fixed fan speed.
TEST ON H440
My MSI AMD R9 390 ran in the high 80s and usually 90C+ in my H440..... At 100% fan speed..... Fuck the H440 😂😂
And the silent edition please. although i have no problem with strix 1070 aib and cpu rad in front with push/pull for more airflow
I have 2 R9390x in crossfire inside this case, omg its running hot, id like to see the test and some improvements ideas
Superposition benchmark if you want max temps for stress testing
Phanteks evolved shift. Only about 3/4 inch between back of the motherboard and the GPU fans, and just one intake fan (or exhaust , depend on what you choose to do)
What about instead of 240mm radiator, put a 120mm radiator with push/pull, on the upper front and a fan intake bellow, so the air from this one could flow into the PSU cage and bring fresh air to the GPU through the holes.
...
@1:44
I'm going to just point out that people are going to find it difficult to correlate Fahrenheit to Celsius, given that it is common to measure the temperature of computer electronics in Celsius.
Thankfully, I can mostly estimate Fahrenheit into Celsius (mainly most common temperatures based on California's weather).
My estimates dictate that 69F is roughly 20C.
Try in that tiny full metal case you funded on kickstart I believe? that is as small as you going to get.
Fractal Design Node 202, test that one with a custom cooler, then see what has to be done to improve it if needed.
The first build is also pulling air from the bottom of the front panel and what I got from this video is that it really doesn’t matter
You should try the Fractal Design Nano S with an ATX sized PSU. I had this, before changing out the PSU with one that is SFX. My GPU (EVGA FTW3 1080ti) had more than 1 and a half of its 3 fans blocked. I should also mention that I like running my fans at very low RPMs, but changing to an SFX PSU made it possible to run the same quiet fan profile with much better temps. The worst I’ve seen the temps go to was 90C with fan speed at 48%, glad I don’t have this problem anymore with the SFX PSU.
I used to a have a 1070 Gaming from MSI in my Define Nano S. Damned thing would heat up to 80°C with the default fan curve.
Kinda wanted to see you run a CPU stresstest while doing the GPU benchmark to get more hot air from the front in to the case to see how much that affected it, some games makes the CPU work hard. Maybe next time:)
Hey Jay, please check out the Phanteks Evolv Shift. It looks great but really chokes the GPU.
Nice video, keep up the great work :)
I would love to see how RX580 nitro+ handles as it has radiator fins in diffrent way that could be usefull with small form factor cases and high airflow
It won't choke off your components, but I really want to see Jay build in a Rosewill Thor >_>
Heard a TON of people, complaining that Phanteks Shift and ShiftX cases are ONLY for watercooling, since airflow is Choked!
The Phanteks EVOO Evolv cases are really horrible with air flow. Every aspect from front panels to top ventilation, despite support for fans and little expansion for liquid cooling (which would seemingly be the reason for the lack of air flow, though a bad one). It's perplexing and seems to be a huge affect of the then-popular fashion over function.
Since it's such an older video this is pretty much irrelevant, but the way you added the paper it looks like you just bent it slightly and placed it between the battery shroud and the gpu. I'm not convinced that the paper wasn't butted up against the gpu fans instead of just blocking off the perforated battery shroud as you intended. At no point could you see the paper from the front which seems to support my hypothesis.
That being said, even if my observation is correct it didn't make a difference with the overall goal of the test. I just thought it was sloppy test methods, which again didn't interfere with the end goal. Just my ocd kicking in.
Test the rajintek metis or metis plus. That's an easily available (to most consumers) and truly small case that's also renowned for bad cooling (at least on the non-plus version).
Jay, if you have an SFX power supply, you will notice that the gpu gets intake from the sides of it as it does not cover the whole bottom filter! I love H200 series. Such a cool ITX chasis! Do the same with i9 9900K and RTX 2080/2080ti would be greqt when they come out. This box is a little marvel! Well done NZXT!
I like to have the RivaTunerStatistics on the screen while rolling the HeavenBenchmark but it only shows the statistics when i am playing a game and not when i am playing the HeavenBenchmark like you.
I'm really liking that build.
69 degrees Fahrenheit (= 20-21 degrees Celsius) is "fairly cold"? :)
In that part of California maybe. Here in northern Europe that is standard room temperature, in the winter 18-19 degrees Celsius is recommended because your body easily adapts to that temperature and you burn less gas for heating.
I'd be convinced if you'd test it with a bigger case... Airflow isn't the same even with the side panel opened. The results (I suspect) may not be significant but may vary from the original
Jay, has anyone ever wondered what might happen to temps if the founders card fan was reversed, so that, instead of exhausting hot air out of the case, it was pulling cooler air in from outside of the case. Just curious.
I'd love to see a similar test on a couple of Phanteks PCs, namely the Shift and the Enthoo Evolv. I've read those starve and/or bleed airflow pretty badly.
I built a beast of a PC in a Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 5... Air intake BLOWS (or... actually it doesn't). There's no top vents so I have a front mounted rad. When I stream, I remove the tempered glass but the ambient sound is horrible through the condenser mics.
You make the best videos ever. Been wondering about this myself and boom, jay makes a video about it.
Nice! This is exactly what I was looking to build next. A small form build. Thanks for this info!
I would like to know how high in-case temps usually get and what temps are actually ok. Nobody seems to care or be able to answer that question....
a minimalist "distraction free" design...with pulsating RGB lighting
I can see a "case" for smaller cases being better for cooling if they are designed well because you could create better airflow. There could be more CFM assuming the same fans in a larger case.
I did a MiniITX Build in Late 2018 with the ThermalTake Core V1. I'm using a Cryorig H7 for my i7 7700 and my Zotac 1070 Mini is running under 70C in BF5. This Case is completely perforated and I love it. Try the N Case M1, would be interesting in this case i guess.
what software are you using to monitor GPU fan curve during the benchmark? the black histogram...Thanks for video, looking forward to more of the postponed build :p
