Currently rocking a Densium 4 v2 with still a considerable amount of space due to it being an apu build. Moved here after a year or two with the Ghost S1.
NR200!
I just installed a 3080 from /r/hws yesterday night.
Running it deshrouded with Arctic P12s as intake/case fans underneath.
I have the NR200 too, would you recommend the additional bottom fans? Did you notice gpu temp/noise improvement?
My build is based off the advice in the M&M NR200 series: on youtube
Since you have a FE card with the 'flow through' fan design, I think you'd get some benefit out of assisted intake from bottom fans.
To get a noise reduction, you'd probably have to set up a fan curve for the GPU in afterburner and the intakes using FanControl or similar.
For my own build, I've always had a deshroud on my GPUs, so I don't really have a comparison for temp/noise.
My 3080 games around 65C with decent noise (though inaudible with earbuds in).
Thank you for sharing your experience. I already undervolted my GPU a bit and played with the fan curve but the FE can get LOUD.
This is neat! You got more pictures of it from other sides? What's in it?
Also, what's HWS? Is it hardware exchange? Do I need to make that here? 😋
Here's a bunch of pics from when I was cleaning it earlier in the week
The GPU in the photos is a gtx1080 with Arctic's aftermarket gpu cooler (deshrouded)
Specs now:
Dan C4 sfx in my current NCase M1 in my previous
NCase M1 v5 silver! I wanted to get the new Dan case but it went out of stock.
Right now I'm using a NR200P but in the past I had a Cougar QBX, which was a great case for its price (around USD 60), now I'm thinking of changin to a Fractal Design Ridge but I hate how its front panel looks, although I saw a post of someone who's selling wooden front panels for it so I might give it a try.
SKTC S02, that's my first smol case.
Got a pic? :)
I have a home server running in a Fractal Node 304, that thing is still incredible so many years after its release. I got 6 HDDs, 2 SATA SSDs (with room for 2 more) and 2 NVME SSDs in it.
I'm also looking at cases to make a PC for the living room and I'm considering the NZXT H1, DAN ARH2O, Fractal Ridge and Fractal Terra. Any thoughts?
That's a pretty beefy NAS. I got a plex server with 8x 14TB HDDs. Yours is smaller though. :)
Currently the Meshlicious. My first SFF case was SG13, then Nouvolo Speck - that one was hot.
Ooo. That's a really really good case. Very popular.
