Hope you have some time to share your build and experience with us. Would be interesting to see the LGMRT + Red devil that almost fill up the length on the Meshicy C. Here's a picture of the build. 2020-03-04-pc-build.jpg The build itself went pretty smoothly. The only drama was when I powered it u...

Will do. I did check to make sure that the Red Dragon would fit! I'll be running it in "silent" mode, where it draws about the same power as the stock 5700X but has a much better heat sink and cooling.

Thanks all. I found a new location fully under the table where I can stuff a smaller case, so I've decided to try a Meshify C. If it doesn't work out, I'll try something else. The system will have a PowerColor Red Dragon 5700x GPU, a Thermalright Le Grand Macho cooler, and M.2 SSD drives. The fans w...

Fractal Design Define 7+ LGTRT + Asus STRIX GPUs (using quiet vbios) and you are set. Can you explain? The airflow on the Define 7 with the doors closed seems marginal based on the reviews I've looked at. Is the idea that there will be plenty of air under light loads, and quiet isn't a priority whe...

One key question that hasn't been addressed is what background noise there are in the room. It make a huge difference if you're living in a rural area and use passive ventilation in your home or if you live at a busy city street with a/c and forced ventilation. Good point. I'm in an urban area, but...

I don't own any so ill not comments on either of your list. Today the R7 was released, its a very nice case overall, specially it peforms well with the open door / no filter, it even goes very close to CM H500M, Fractal Define 7 Case Review: Excellent Build Quality, Thermal Challenges , maybe a Mes...

OK, I've looked at a bunch of cases now, and am about ready to make a decision. The ones I'm looking at are: Phanteks P600S + All reports suggest that it's a solid, quality, case with good airflow (with the mesh front). + Choice of sound deadening or mesh front, top, etc. - Non-removable PSU shroud,...

Cases is more personal thing, i like a lot the Corsair Air 740, more so because i have 2 BW SW3 BL067 on the bottom and powered by Asus RTX2080Ti connectors, and they usually are off until the GPU reaches 70c then they enter and they go back off below 60C on the GPU.... it helps me not reach 80C on...

The R6 is a wonderful case, easy to build with good cable management, but its still very restrictive, that said you can always open the door and even remove the filter for a better airflow, you can even open the top.... etc, there is a lot of flexibility on the case, but if i were looking for a bet...

... More than the case and the style is choosing good components, if you don't produce so much noise by design, you wont need to mask it or ramp up the fans... so planning the build with good components is key to end up with a quiet pc. That's what I'm trying to put together (quiet fans, semi-passi...

Thank you for such a detailed response! Based on my reading, the approach I'm taking is to have all of components be as individually quiet as possible. In particular, I'm looking at as many semi-passive components as possible. My hope is that, when idle, there are no fans running at all. It can be d...

Hi! I'm planning to build a new system. I've been working with computers since the 1970s, but this is the first time I've done a "build". I've been doing a lot of reading and think I've teased out a build philosophy that makes sense, but I'd like to confirm it with people who have actual experience....
