Re: R6 Define - Improve GPU-Cooling & Use fan-hub

Ah interesting!
Out of Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 CL15 (85 EUR) and Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 CL16 (100 EUR), which would you choose? :)

Re: R6 Define - Improve GPU-Cooling & Use fan-hub

fyi - MSI has auto mode sensing in the BIOS (at least that's what the manual shows). The D15 paired with the 65W R5 3600 is a bit overkill. :) Chances are you won't need to go above 500rpm on the cooler's fans. Auto sensing mode = detects automatically if the SYS-FAN connection interacts with a PWM...

Re: R6 Define - Improve GPU-Cooling & Use fan-hub

Thanks for your suggestions guys! I already have a NH-D15 coming in, so hopefully that paired with a solid 5700 XT partner card (i.e. heavy and silent) will help reduce the overall sound level and also mitigate the silence focus case. I will try the case with the stock fans first, but If I feel I ne...

Re: R6 Define - Improve GPU-Cooling & Use fan-hub

The mobo has 4 chassis fan connections that can be PWM or DC. Why not just use this instead of the case fan hub? BIOS also lets you set the ramp up and ramp down time, so you can avoid any instantaneous changes in CPU temp. Ah nice good to know! Regardless perhaps let the exhaust fan play around on...

R6 Define - Improve GPU-Cooling & Use fan-hub

Hi! Im building a quiet build with a Define R6-chassi. I wish to be able to control the three included stock fans (Fractal Design Dynamic X2 GP-14 140 mm) with fan curves to avoid having them spinning at 1000 rpm all the time. As I learned from another forum, the fan hub can be used by connecting it...

Re: SilverStone KL07: Perfect case?

The r6’s shroud is perforated throughout. The cardboard seals off those openings, effectively removing the basement area from the volume of air that case fans have to move (and making the layout more similar to the kl07), and better directs the lower front fan’s air toward the gpu. Without the card...

Re: SilverStone KL07: Perfect case?

The fan was pointed fairly directly at the graphics card, though a 140mm would do a bit better to hit both sides of the card. In the process of trying different setups, I was reminded again that fan speed matters more than case construction/noise dampening (within reason)—having the side panel on v...

Re: SilverStone KL07: Perfect case?

I will install my equipment once, not move the case around and do not care of build quality as long it does not affect cooling/noise. I wont use radiators and will have 0 SATA-SSDs or other harddrives, so basically motherboard with m2-card, GPU and a wireless PCI-card. then the r6's features don't ...

Re: SilverStone KL07: Perfect case?

If we could do it again, we probably should have held the KL07 back until Gamers Nexus reviews the R6 and the BeQuiet cases first. Without other similar "silent" cases to compare to, their initial KL07 verdict only OK, which was expected. Having a large fanbase is just that, more people sharing the...

Re: SilverStone KL07: Perfect case?

Yes Silverstone seriously needs to throw some money around to get people to review their chassis it properly. The RL07 was interesting and was almost comparable to the R6 but was beaten in thermal performance while just beating it regarding noise (0,4db), but still came in a few degrees lower in the...

Re: SilverStone KL07: Perfect case?

Wow, what happened here? Gamers Nexus's test number clearly shows when comparing apple to apple, the KL07 has the edge in thermal efficiency. Sure you can add more fans or tweak to improve GPU cooling in the R6, but that will also make it louder than the stock KL07 (then you are back to where you s...

Re: SilverStone KL07: Perfect case?

in my r6 I have a 2600x cooled by a mugen 5 rev b with a noctua a12x25 fan, an msi trio 2080 (not super), an a12x25 as rear exhaust, three more a12x25 as intake (two bottom, one lower bottom), and one of the r6's included 140mm fans as front intake in line with the gpu cooler. I love those noctua f...

Re: SilverStone KL07: Perfect case?

I actually hadn't seen that case before. it looks like a sort of middleground between the fractal define C and define r6. I would be cautious about reading too much into GN's thermal/noise numbers due to their methodology. they run case fans at 100% in the stock configuration (at least for the comp...

Re: SilverStone KL07: Perfect case?

Ah finally a place where the KL07 is discussed! I also cannot really comprehend how the KL07 does not get more attention? Gamer Nexus did a thorough review of the Fractal Design Define R6 in which they do a full comparison which i summarize below for KL07,DefineR6 and Quiet Base 700 (source link bel...
