Definitely gets noisy when gaming! Although I wear over-the-ear headphones or IEMs when I game, so it's not an issue for me. Otherwise, you're right, it's pretty quiet during normal use.
@@adam_tarantinoundervolting the cpu is easy with PBO2 and the gpu can be undervolted as well to near stock performance at much lower wattage, will do wonders for noise but if you have IEM’s then maybe it’s not worth the trouble
Only seeing this now but after doing a similar build a month ago I discovered the longer screws fit in the PSU mounting bracket and allow you to hard mount it to the front panel - there are some screw holes which are reportedly there for this exact purpose, though you do need to hold the bracket in place as its threading a screw in to 2 separate sets of threads. The fan brackets are also much easier to install outside of the case, you can loosely mount the fans to the bracket and then once aligned/parralel you can tighten them and then mount the 2 sides on to the struts on the case. Great video otherwise! Entertaining and informative, this case is definitely a learning experience coming from a regular case. Edit: realised I have the v2.1 despite having ordered the 2.0, so my point on the PSU mount might not apply
Which side bar are you referring to? If it's the side panel of the T1, the top strut may be configured for a larger slot size. In 3 slot mode, you're left with 53mm for the CPU cooler. In 3.25 slot mode, you're only left with 48mm.
Appreciate it! When I was securing the PSU bracket, it did strike me as odd that it wasn't threaded. I'm glad they're changing the design! It still felt stable enough though. Many people have built with the V2, and I don't think it's a big enough problem that it would cause issues. But the improved stability would provide a little more peace of mind! I think that M3 screw was intended to sort of hang off a narrow indentation backside of the front panel. You can see it on the .pdf instructions online. It might be possible to use a slightly longer M3 screw for that particular location, maybe a millimeter or two longer and it would be less likely to fall off that little ledge.
She can get warm! Seems like newer CPUs are expected to run hotter, but the 5800x in particular is known to. Undervolting the CPU and GPU help keep temps in check since there is an overall lower power consumption. Rough temperature benchmarks: Cinebench R20 / R23: CPU: 90 Blender: CPU: Upper 80s to 90 Halo Infinite (low settings): CPU: low 70s (~72) GPU: upper 60s (~68) Red Dead Redemption 2 (ultra settings) : CPU: mid 70s (~75) GPU: mid-upper 60s (~63-68)
