Ignore the yellow light lol. Just takes a second to move between LEDs

Hi everybody. I currently have a pc whit a AIO for my CPU. Since I wuold like to have a custom watercooled pc, I have a AIO for my CPU, i was wondering: may I chagne AIO's tubes form standard to transparent rigid ones instead of changing everything? I'm not intrested to waterccol my GPU 'cause I've got two and I don't think i have room for watercooling them.

Hi everyone! 

I've a rog strix g15ce, bought on february 2022 (warranty expired) and I have a problem with my GPU fan (broken) that is not even detected by the bios. 
So, while i wait for the fan replacement (it comes from china), i've decided to buy 3 more fans to improve the airflow of the case and keep my RTX 3060 away from overheating.

The fans that i've bought are: 

1.  1x  Be Quiet! Silent Wings 4 Pro PWM (120 mm)
2.  2x  Be quiet! Pure Wings 2 (80 mm)

Now, for the 120 mm I want to put it at the front so the air can enter directly on the GPU with broke fan, and the other 1 or 2 I've decided to use them as exausters so the more air can exit from the case.

From the PSU to the GPU i have around 9 cm of space and that could be a solution for one of the two 80mm as exauster.

Where I should put the other 1 or 2 exausters for more efficiency?

With the standard GPU/CPU air cooling and orientations, the hot air from GPU flows to the CPU heatsink and then been push/pull out by CPU/Case fans. When GPU got hotter the CPU/Case fans must work harder to push/pull the hot air out of the case. I guess this is the fundamental restrictions with air cooling inside a PC case. Many new design reorient GPU to face the case side panel that create air turbulence and air flow restrictions.

A better approach would be reorient the GPU to face the opposite direction of CPU heatsink thereby reduce the accumulated hot air inside the case.

Update: Thanks the commentator from r/nocuta, I have now a better understanding about air convection.

My PC case has deep enough space below the PCI slots to fulfill my requirements. What I need is a strong frame to hold the two 14mm Noctua Industry fans that can be mounted on the bottom of the case. By doing this, I can use bigger fans without interfering with GPU heatsink.

I had to modify this GPU mounting bracket so that it can hanging on the backside of my PC case.

The result of upright mounted GPU without fans.

The result of the upright GPU with fans that blow the hot air outside the backside of the PC case.

With amdgpu-fancontrol I am satisfied with the temp and noise ratio I configured. And the benefit out of this setup is the CPU and GPU are now in a separate airflow path and they do not interfering with each other anymore.

Jo, anyone allready painted his GPU? the thing is i want to buy a 50 series but i need a white one and there aren´t that much out there, so do you think i can buy a black one and paint it white? or change the fans? without much trouble and worry about to break it oc

It actually turned out decent. Taking what knowledge I learned from the community, It worked well. There was some over spray on the vent areas, and around the backside, but overall you cannot see it once the panels are attached! I'm super happy with how this tiny project of mine worked out, it took a lot of prepping but I'm happy with it.

Anyone got ideas on how to best add solid color to the radiator covers of my cpu cooler?

I'm using the id-cooling frozn a620 pro se argb in the Fractal Pop Air Magenta case, so I wanted to add a matching color accent to the cooler, but I'm having kind of a hard time finding good materials to do this with.

Definitely regret getting a cooler with covers as I probably could have 3D printed a fitting cover easier than I can add color to an existing one...

Currently thinking about just getting Vinyl sheets like you would use on furniture, or Plexiglass to add more of a 3D look

any and all ideas welcome.

It's 12 years old, I replaced okd drive with SSD & will be replacing RAM from 6gb to &gb ... I need help modding his cooling ... first I plan replacing thermal paste on CPU & GPU ... they running pretty hot when "gaming" ... 90+ CPU & 85 GPU ... think paste should help, as I don't think it was ever replaced ... Mby fan replacment (is it is struggling) ... can i put stronger fan, which has same dimensions / fits ... or even PC fan ... I heard making more holes on the bottom cover, for intake could help? Extra fan for intake mby? Any other tips, any modding that can be done to improve airflow & temps.

Posting here, hope it's relevant, I will oc GT 635M a bit, as I tried and was surprised that it could squeeze quiet a lot on core clock (and bit performance improvment) but ofc the limit was thermal throttling.

I have a gtx 1660TI asus tuf that is reaching 96 on hotspot and 79 on the chip, tried to repaste and change thermal pads but nothing work, what could be the problem?

As the title states, I plan to spray paint my computer case. The model I will be modifying is the NZXT H5 Flow. Currently it's black, but I wanted to paint the interior white and have the band a different color. Is there any tips from other users who have done similar projects in the past? I've looked at a few tutorials but any other suggestions would be delightful. Thanks!

Didn't expect working with Brass to be such a pain in the ass!

Sanding and Polishing the backplate brass disc took 2 days of labour.

Bending the pipes was not easy, because of the radius on pipe bending tools and the fact that they crimp easily if you do it wrong.

I had to 3D Resin Print brackets to hold the power supply, GPU and water reservoir which was also a challenge.

It's got the class symbols of Path of Exile 2 for the theme and a gear clock which looks awesome and goes with the Grinding Gear Games theme.

Let me know what you think!

I'm giving this away on The Crimson Market this Saturday.

hey, im not sure if this is the right place to post this but im trying to set up my tesla k40c for my pc. i plan to use it for mainly 3d modeling and some rendering. ive tried everything to make it work, nvidia control panel doesnt let me go to the manage 3d settings page, ive tried using nvidia-smi commands, and modifying the registry in windows doesnt seem to work either. i have a msi mag z490 tomahawk and an i7 10700k if that means anything. if theres no way for it to work, then i guess its a 30 dollar display piece, i like the shroud on it:)
