So I saw the case listed on Scorptec here in Australia, for an eye watering $1489 AUD.... I can afford it, but if I spent that money, It would be smarter to sell my RTX 4070 TI and get a RTX 4090 with that cash :) But the RTX 4090 wouldn't fit in my FT02 so..... :lol: Gamer's Nexus will be doing a r...

I saw it for sale on Amazon US yesterday, for a crazy price of around $800!

There were 12 units, but either they all sold out like that, or the listing was removed....

This pic shows what I mean by having clean GPU exhaust airflow

The first pic would be like the Coolermaster SL600M

Well looking at the case when using the side GPU mount it does seperate the GPU heat from the CPU. Which is hard to do in other cases. Even when using a vertical mount on a riser cable. Maybe only on the O11 Dynamic Evo, with it's Upright GPU kit, is kinda similar. But the heat from the GPU will sho...

ThermalTake CTE C750 Air is out - if you combined the Torrent, FT02/Raven RV02 and an O11 Dynamic, this is what you get :) It looks to be good for airflow, but having intakes on 4 sides smashing air into the case to squeeze it out the top doesn't look efficient It can mount 2x200mm fans front and ba...

Silverstone rep said it will be in the US and other countries in a few weeks time. Case was made to celebrate their 20th anniversary without the usual design budget constraints Our goal for this case was to make the best out of the box cooling possible utilizing all the best way we know. So besides ...

Modern version of FT02
Should be on sale in Asia by next week

No it's the Noctua P12 120mm that came with the D14 heatsink Put both the CPU fans back on the D14 - the 140mm fan running at 600 rpm at full load. I swapped the Scythe Kaze Jyuni 1200prm fan with the Noctua S12b to the top case fan slot - way quieter and more air flow. Can't hear the Noctua S12b in...

I removed the 140mm fan from the D14 heatsink, and just had the single 120mm P12 fan in the middle Temps under full rendering load increased by 2 degrees at 700rpm, to 74, not bad. Dropped back to 72 degrees at 1000rpm and seemed quieter without the 140mm fan even at this rpm... But was still gettin...

Fortress has some silencing

But the CPU fans are making some dull thud sound under load, so they will need to be replaced

Here is another one, also called Fan control... looks much nicer You can also mix fan curves like the software above, and monitor HD and GPU temps and base fan curves on them as well And you can have it test each fans stop and start threshold https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases https://raw....

I am thinking about trying two Noctua A12x25 on my D14 My ram height limits me to a 120mm at the back, so it makes sense to use two same sized fans Or I can flip the D14 around and have two 140mm in a pull configuration, which doesn't have the noise of the D15 makes with it's fans, when used like th...

Hmm your temps shouldn't be loading that high while gaming since games don't load all cores to full. Even my Ryzen 3800x only hits > 80 degrees with the stock cooler set at low fan speed, and only while in Cinebench. With the D14 and in gaming, it rarely cracks 60 degrees --- New version of the abov...

New version is sweet Unlike Bios fan control, you can setup your case fans to both CPU and GPU temperature, under auto control, so which ever sensor is higher at any given time, it's fan curve will be used instead It can now control my video card's fans as well! my setup https://i.imgur.com/4RGcYLI....

Regading the thermal pad, it's within a few degrees of a good paste, but so much less hassle with cleaning. And it will outlast any thermal paste. I don't intend to pull my heatsink off again for a good 5-8 years once I finalize my long term CPU, either a Ryzen 5900x or or an Intel Alder Lake :) And...

Ugh MSI Dragon Centre is bloated as hell, not touching it! MSi Afterburner works well for the GPU - I also just realized the Power management mode option in the Nvidia control panel, when set of max performance, keeps the video card heating up when in desktop, so that's why the fan kept turning back...

This allows you to see all your fans and control them in windows, including automatic control based on temps sensors
You can save fan curve presets as well

make fine tuning the noise vs performance way easier than in Bios

I had been setting my fans in the MSI bios Speedfan no longer works with modern systems But I came across Fancontrol https://github.com/lich426/FanCtrl/releases And this allows you to see all your fans and control them in windows, including automatic control based on temps senors, very nice! You can...

I have never seen or heard my HX1200 fan turn on, while in Windows, gaming, benchmarking, stress testing or working in my DAW creating music, when I had it sitting outside for 2 months before moving it into the case. Either with the fan facing up, or on it's side. The fan turns on briefly when first...

Well my Corsair HX1200 is passive 99% of the time - the fan only comes on at >600w load, and it never does in my system :) RTX 3070 and boosted Ryzen 3800x is not enough power draw for it to get hot. And it also faces vertically so gets nice natural convection heat dispersion, and only drawing cold ...

For me it's just more efficient, the vertical lay out - heat rises, so when idling and having fans run at slow speeds, nature already provides the flow of heat upwards naturally. So fans do not have to run as fast to provide the same cooling. And I might try the new Noctua fanless heatsink later thi...

The only modern case I might like is the Coolermaster MasterCase SL600M due to the same vertical layout as the FT02

Once you go vertical, you never go back

FT02 similar to Raven 02 still one of the best for air cooling, but it is a pain to work with

Cable mess pretty much unavoidable due to all the PCIe and bay devices I have, and 2 rear external USB3 routed to front bay
And I have routed a lot of them behind the motherboard

I originally used the Ft02b to house an i7 3930k, Asus P9X79 16gb system for the last 10 years, until it died 2 months ago... decided on an AMD upgrade, of MSI x570 Tomahawk, Ryzen 3800x (will upgrade to 5900x later on), with 32gb 3600mhz cl14 ram. had everything running ontop of the case for a few ...

Got my new setup up and running in my Silvertsone Ft02b and it seems the middle 140mm fan makes a weird intermodulation sound when stress testing in Cinebench 20. Like a propellor plane type sound... so will likely replace it eventually anyway Ryzen 3800x boosting to 4.175ghz now holds at 70degrees ...

I've noticed my 970 Evo plus NVMe drive gets really hot, idle around 59 degrees... I tried putting a 120mm fan running at 600rpm in front of the D14 and that dropped the temps of the 970 Evo plus by 5 degrees. So even if it doesn't help the CPU be cooler, it does help my NVMe drives! :D my 140mm fan...

Well I should be able to mount the A14 on my heatsink, as I emailed Noctua, and they said they can send me wire clips (for free) to mount the A14 and A12x25 on the D14

I need to replace the 140mm fan on my 10 year old Noctua D14 heatsink, it's starting to tick when set the motherboard flat, as opposed to when standing vertically when in the Silverstone FT02B... I guess the bearings wore down to the vertical positioning and are now uneven when used horizontally... ...
