Imagine caring about the colors inside of an opaque box.

Having a windowed case with a visible temperature reader prevented my computer from burning down when my fans malfunctioned.

plug that cable in somewhere

Whats bad about a window case? I like just being able to look in it to see if it needs dusting.

>Austrian alpine turbine magic
Why are they so fucking good?

you don't need a window
you don't need RGB
you don't need more than 3 fans

it needs to go to the board and sometimes power, and then the other thing might be to connect a string of lights or some shit

it doesn't plug anywhere on the board, I think (think) I have to buy some other crappy thing that plugs into the board and then the fan cable plugs into that. I have no idea why this wasn't shown on the box

>my fans malfunctioned
should've bought a noctua :^)

I have that same heatsink.

no user it goes up your ass didn't you read my post

you don't need a side panel at all for anything other than having dumb little kids around.

For me, it's the stock cooler.

Imagine paying $50 for a fucking palm sized fan.

i got one collecting dust. i switched to a 240mm rad

bitch you don't tell if something needs dusting by sight
you have maintenance schedule and clean it out on a monthly basis

I have a Noctua cooler, it's good. I need a new PC case though, no matter how much dampening I put in this case I can still hear my other case fans vibrating. I need a case that's specifically designed to be super quiet.

for me, It's NH-U14S

it SHOULD be enough, but both intel and AMD cut costs and ship their 600$ products with inferior fans that don't cool their chips

Compare GPU stock cooling with CPU stock cooling and you realize you're getting fucked in the ass

>b-but muh extra 5 frames in fortnite

You buy stock GPUs?

>clean it out on a monthly basis
haha yeah

>putting your tower on the desk where all the noise gathers

Windowed case is good for keeping an eye on your fans and dust levels without having to open it up.

there's a reason why it's shipped "free" with boxed CPUs, It's loud and ineffective

but the FE stockshits are terrible too

>you have maintenance schedule and clean it out on a monthly basis

holy shit have sex

>he doesn't enjoy the sound of fans spinning near idle
heathen

>having your cpu constantly thermal throttling is okay

y'all really paying $50 for a fan and wondering why y'all don't get no sex huh

I have the Pure Rock, like pretty much everyone in my country since the three big stores have had it in top sales 100% of the time ever since it came out

I have the dark base pro case. Fucking brilliant will never need to buy another one. Going to get this cooler next.

I clean it out whenever I get frustrated because something doesn't run as well as it should. That's usually long after another dustbunny mating season. Usually it doesn't fix anything either but I feel better afterwards.

It's for the RGB bullshit. Newer motherboards have headers for them to plug in, otherwise you have to buy that manufacture's RGB lighting kit which would come with a hub to plug those extra connectors.

It's a 12V RGB cable. You need a modern motherboard with that has them (usually 2-3 on a board). Or you buy a RGB hub controller that you hide behind your case and connect with molex/sata to power the RGB's.

that was before cpus could step themselves down and you were stuck at 800Mhz or whatever 24/7. now you can underclock if you have to and can get a decently quiet system for anything but gaming very easily.

Noctua is the king of cooling. I will happily buy their fans again.

Attached: 1402852986726.gif (190x359, 381K)

No man. It just pushes the connections on your CPU closer so that it can run faster. It's pretty simple really. Closer connections means less distance which means faster travel.

reminder that window cases are objectively superior to non-window ones because you can always do a quick visual check to your parts on the move and at anytime without having to dismantle panels.

the MACHO cools almost as well as the biggest coolers from the likes of noctua but it costs like $50 instead of close to $100. get that if you're on a budget that allows for something more than a hyper 212. the 212 is a great value cooler but don't expect it to keep up with very hungry CPUs OCd.

this

the stock AMD cooler are much better than intel, which ship metal blocks more often than not. with AMD you get actual heatpipes and fins, enough to even OC a little though with a louder fan.

Meshify C is top tier bros

4 years ago I fell for the AIO meme and I'm still not going to look back despite temps being kinda garbage. To me the practicality of not having a 2 ton radiator in the middle of my case is too good to pass. It's easy to install, no maintenance, works well enough.
I just spent to many years wrestling these aluminum mammoth with shitty plastic push-and-snap screws or whatever other bullshit it always comes with.

I'll always have a little nostalgia for the zalman monsters but never again. Now I'm even considering getting a 360 AIO for $120 and hanging it out my case, to get actually good temps hopefully.

Try not being illiterate for a start. If your """personality""" is plastering an advertisement for a company on your property/yourself, you don't have a personality. No shit you can talk positively about things, but someone buying Noctua has a lot more personality than someone just buying the most generic gaymer garbage (with RGB lights, of course).

No need because I vacuum my room instead, you filthy fuck.

If you want to bring up custom loops, sure, but that's a specification of the earlier claim that "watercooling outperforms air-cooling". Do you have a source on custom loops outperforming let's say a Noctua DH-15?

There are two kinds of lighting connectors these days.
Four pin RGB plugs, which just do basic lighting. One pin for ground, three pins for colors.
Three pin Digitally Addressable RGB plugs, which allow each individual LED on whatever you're plugging in to be independently controlled. One pin for ground, one pin for voltage, and one pin for data.

Your motherboard might have the former but not the latter.

yeah

its all about surface area, a custom water cooling unit can be as large as you want, 1440mm x 1440mm, hell grab a radiator off your car or truck. More thermal mass and greater surface area for contact distribution = better cooling.

>smoking at all

Attached: LB.jpg (1855x1856, 304K)

surface area of what? The CPU doesn't become bigger, the bottom part of air-coolers is the size of the CPU heat spreader, bigger has no advantage. Do you have any benchmarks?

Switch the panels so the window-less one with all the padding faces the components rather than the back of the motherboard. Makes it a little more quiet

now that's that good shit

Do they sell cases that are just almost entirely glass? I legit want no fucking metal or plastic at all, or as bare minimum as necessary. Are there any? I'm curious if these are sold and it also serve to trigger the glassfags

the surface area of the heatsink.

at a certain point the cooler becomes heat saturated and can no longer dissipate heat faster than the cpu can generate it. Both air coolers and liquid coolers suffer from this. A liquid cooler has more thermal mass, so when a large custom loop is being used for hours/days at a time it takes it far longer to reach the maximum temperature of the loop, combined with the sheer volume of fans that can be attached to the loop, you can have upwards of 24 fans in push pull configuration on a large radiator.

A traditional heatsink and fan, even the D-12 is a large heavy mass directly hanging off the cpu socket itself, its limited by the size and weight of what the motherboard can support.

the contact patch on both for the cpu is the same, but the capacity to carry the heat away from the cpu and keep it away is far greater for custom loops.

>Yea Forums can't into simple airflow

I seriously need to step in for this? here's the diagram of both possible scenarios depending on your radiator fan orientation, for you mongoloids. In Situation A you have cold air entering from both the front panel and the top of the case. The radiator on the front ejects the now warmed air into the case itself which then gets ejected out the back. I probably don't need to say this but pushing hot air INTO the case is NOT a good idea.

In situation B it's a little better, you have cold air going into the case from the top, the fans then pushing air into the radiator (still cool) and pushing the hot air out the front. The big fucking problem here is the front glass panel and the back fan. The fan on the back is pulling air out of the case, yet so are the front ones pulling air out the front, you split the flow of air circulation right down the middle instead of allowing it to circulate properly and cool everything. Then the front glass panel is being shit on nonstop with warm air ejected by the radiator, it's going to look like a dog's ass in a few months.

I actually bought one of those things and it was a bitch to install due to how big it is. But it's true to their word... shit actually keeps my cpu pretty cool and this shit is the most silent cooler I've ever had in my life.

Whenever I turn on my PC my R5 2600's stock cooler goes fucking apeshit. Should I replace it with something else?
Any noise coming from my PC makes me shit my pants.

Imagine being a ginormous Luddite faggot that avoids the convenience of window cases just to be a hipster fuck. I like seeing if something craps out in my case at a glance, you raised pinky finger tea sipping fuck.

If the thermal capacity of any heatsink was surpassed by the heat generated by the CPU, the CPU wouldn't cool down anymore. It'd heat up and eventually trip the damage protection and shut down. Since that doesn't happen, I don't find the theorycrafting that believable. Do you have any benchmarks showing a custom loop outperforming (as in, keeps the CPU at a lower temperature under load) than a top-of-the-line air cooler, like a Noctua product?

Isn't it better to just buy an AOI instead of this bulky cooler ? for the price of this thing you can get hold of apretty decent one

> convenience of window cases

you have RGB strips everywhere too, you cocksucking faggot? It's a PC.

yeah

lmgtfy.com/?q=water cooling benchmarks by size of radiator

>caring about color scheme inside the case
>not caring about the monster cooling a Noctua provides keeping your shitposting machine at subzero temps in the dead of summer
Where my DH-15 bros at? Summer aint got shit on me

GUYS!

WHAT FUNCOPOP CHARACTER SHOULD I PUT IN MY CASE. I'M THINKING CAPTAIN MARVEL AND I CAN MAKE ALL THE RGB LGBQT COLORS YAS?

Help a tech illiterate user out.
My GPU gets up to 70°C when I play some games. Is that safe? That temperature has red colors in Speccy.
Can I buy something to keep it cooler?

No, I have PCs that need maintenance instead of outright getting mommy to buy a new one as soon as your can of Monster energy drink is empty faggot.

>user..you do know hot air is pushed upwards by gravity, gravity?

Hot air weights less than nothing. hence hot air rises and that's what people use for hot air balloon rides. Meanwhile cold air sinks.

It's fine to have fans blowing hot air upwards while the side take in cold air.

Try putting ice in the case

You do know that a fan pushes air?

My PC is a dull, unlit clownfest of mismatched color components, the case is windowed though. Noctua looks hilariously ugly yet effective.

what kind of maintenance your awesome zoomzoom machine needs that's more than dusting like every 3 months?

Are you really this insecure about your tastes l?

Did you read over the part about comparing it to a top air cooler?

I had dead fans on more than one occasion, and if it was up to you roundabout hipster faggots I'd need to open it up to even see what the fuck is going on. Cause "m-muh clean vintage industrial look".

buy better fans, faggot

You have to open your case to replace the fan anyway and you would easily be able to tell that a fan was dead without a window.

Windows serve no functional purpose on computer cases.

AOI are pretty fucking meh. Installation is a bitch and it's not really cooler at all. Unless you really want a low profile cooler then it's not worth it whatsoever

I love it, but if I have it take out my GPU it can be a bitch.
>No Noctua fan colored gf
it hurts

Seems like your brain serves no functional purpose in your head too.

How old is the GPU? Temp is fine regardless, pretty much everything has failsafes to prevent your parts from exploding assuming you're not going out of your way to make it happen.

That is pretty normal user.

It's a RX 480 from like 5 or 6 years ago (?).
I don't really have money to buy a new, better GPU yet, so I'm saving up for next year.

By all means, link me these adamantium fans forged by Peter Dinklage himself that last forever.
Yes, I have to open it up anyway to replace the parts, but at least I have a general idea that the fans are dead and that I can now comfortably fry eggs on my PC with a glance. Or have visual on the mobo signal leds if the power or motherboard gets fucky.
>I like being denied extra information
This is literally you.

Good lord has it really been 5-6 years?

I had the lower end version of this for years..
Great case.
ty for the chuckle user

I want a computer in the Noctua colours. It will look like some kind of Famicom knock off.

no. It's been 3 years.

I'm baffled, genuinely baffled, at the idea that you are actively monitoring your fans through your case window. Have you heard of monitoring software? You could have that up on a second screen to keep an eye on temperatures and rpms for your fans if you are really that paranoid about them failing.

Not that you wouldn't notice a system critical fan failing anyway due to rising temperatures, throttling and ultimately a system shut down.

fist pumping every user with the holy trinity of hardware seasonic/fractal/noctua,

X4 955 reporting in, although I think I have an evo212 or whatever was the best budget option at that time (2011)
Thinking of building another rig but I want to move out first

The amount of times I have to shoo my cat off my pc...

why do people have rear exhaust fans installed when there's cpu cooler fan 3 cm behind it already blowing hot air out?

the fixation system to the mobo is all retarded though, unless you have a two feet wide case it's a fucking chore to install

this, I've had it on two rigs since 2011 and it's still a fucking pain in the ass to install. And it looks like it breaks easily

>bought new PSU a few months back, plugged it in with no problems, silent as the dead
>suddenly it starts making this weird trilling sound like the internal fan is some kind of spin the wheel game

Apparently it's an issue the whole series has and doesn't count as a fault for the purposes of repairs and replacements and somehow I never saw any mention of it before I bought it.
The sound is driving me nuts. It's so damn irritating, especially after being so quiet for so long.

>want my i5 6600k and 970 to last as long as possible before I move to a better build
what the hell it'll still be good for at least 4 years user, I wish I had that rig

Bought a window case by mistake, it's covered by the desk.
What nigger actually wants to display that shit?

the inside is caked in dust so don't ask for pics

well a PC's fucking expensive so I like to have the peace of mind of having excessive air flow

>get an 8350 for my 2012 mobo
>works but stock fan is a goddamn helicopter
>go overboard and buy the mondo version of OP's fan
>also includes AM4 parts for a future rebuild
>everything went better than expected

Very nice, pretty much my setup.
