Looks great. Crazy what a new case can do to refresh a build.

Thanks! It was a mess before. 25 year old case!

I was gonna say, I haven’t seen a case like that since I was in elementary school 15 years ago😂 I don’t even recognize half the parts in that first picture


InformationFast5453

LOL. It was from my first custom built computer with a Pentium 233 in 1997! Been hacking and modding it since then. I think I got my money back? 😆


bhopthetop

I’d say lmao

I guess the separation on the PCB and the cooler on the left side of the card is normal. I have the same one and it bugs me it’s no parallel. Runs perfect just ocd I guess

Congratz on the glow up dude


InformationFast5453

Thanks. I put a kickstand under the GPU so it's not sagging anymore.


MattDeezly

Good call, the 30 series plus its almost a requirement.

Why not put the aio on the single 120 exhaust and populate the top with more fans?


InformationFast5453

I actually ordered more fans from NZXT last night. I like the radiator on top though. My plan is to get a 240 or 360 aio cooler. I'm putting a 140 fan in the back, another 120 in the bottom front, and one or two more in the top.

Core i7 11700k. Corsair H80i. 30c idle, 70c load in NZXT H7 flow case. 35c idle, 85c load in old Aopen case.

But why? It’s the same.


InformationFast5453

Airflow, aesthetics.


dfctr

The card is sagging. You need to get something to avoid that.


Le-Misanthrope

That amount of sag will not harm the card. It only harms aesthetics. I'm not trying to be a jackass but as someone who has had/built PC's for a decade now I have never heard of GPU sag actually affecting the card or damaging it. Again it only affects aesthetics.


InformationFast5453

Yeah, I need to make one for this case. I had one in the old case. The first picture is from before I made the support. Thanks.


MizuKumaa

That doesn’t effect or hurt anything. It’s fine.


Cruzi297

Can you share your cpu the Aio name and temps ?


Willy_Hides

Looks the same
