I ended up getting the define 7 because i found it bstock on a very nice deal. It has a few improvements over the r6, better top panel, better front door, more open slits in the front sides and better cable management. Fractal really nail the building experience, always been a fan of how easy it is ...

I just received one, so ill write a bit of a small subjective noise impressions soon. But so far it seems like a solid fan, clearly the performance is good. Im having some weird pwm issues with it, where at 40% pwm it runs at 1000 rpm, even when it is switched to the 1200rpm mode on the fan. At 1000...

Alittle update, i ended up swapping into a old antec p183 i found, and used my r6 for a server build. While i was rebuilding my pc i decided to crack open the gpu and check out the thermal paste application. I should have taken pictures, but it was the WORST application i have ever seen on a gpu, ba...

Good review, seems to quieter than the noctua at same rpm, but moves less air at low rpm compared to the noctua.

From the audio clips it doesnt sound as nice however, but that cant be 100% representative.

They don't really drop when removing the filter unfortunately, no dust either all heatsinks are clean. I swapped the bottom noctua 120 mm with a 140 nb eloop and it actually helped quite a bit, it seems with how the mounting is i cant get the 120mm low enough to get air properly under the gpu. Its s...

Fixed the links I can see why you wouldn't understand, but really, ive tinkered with the fans curves for days, ive changed fans, ive changed the filter, changed case layout and still i cant get the cooling i want. I will try the suggestions ofc. The performance issues are the main driving factor for...

Interesting, when i used the define r4 i had a fan placed where the green box is, and that helped gpu thermals. https://imgur.com/JbgVlZ2 maybe i should try similar in the r6, orange is where i currently have fans and i could try putting one in the green box. and adding another fan to the front http...

I did notice that running the fans at different fan speeds does get rid of any resonances from the fans, this was especially useful when i was ruining front nf-14. I already use Argus monitor to control fan speeds so i will def give what you suggest a try. Yes i am leaning towards buying a new case,...

The difference in temps and rpms between open and closed configurations is just suspicious. I tried it few times with my config (9700K, Scythe Ninja 5 + 2070S Gaming OC) in games, so realistic scenario and with door open, no front filter and top removed ( I don't keep top dust filter, so it made on...

I agree with Japanese Capacitor, open the R6 frontal door and remove the filter, thats as good as it will get in any of the airflow oriented cases. If you are not happy with your temps and noise like that, a new case wont fix your issues. Personally i reach the point where i cant cool a 5950x quiet...

Thank you for your replies, much appreciated. Here are the temps and fan speeds. I am using custom fan curves for case and cpu fan. At idle all closed i have: Cpu 46c 40% 700rpm Gpu 48c 1 fan at 22% 670rpm other 2 at 0% Front lower fan 40% 960 rpm Front Top fan 40% 1000 rpm Back fan 40% 641 Rpm This...

I wonder if they can be run low enough to be quiet, also i noise signature seems not as nice as other options. But def good to see more new options!

Hello all, The (old) website and this forum have been a great source of pc build information to me over the years so i was hoping it could be so again. My current build is: Define R6 Ryzen 7 5800x Noctua nhd 15 (1 fan) Gigabyte b550 vision d RTX 2070s evga ftw3 ultra ( 301.925 mm long) 2 4tb wd red ...
