I learned that a mass of case fans brings so little more cooling, but make more noise. I went back to 5 fans (two front one back and two cpu cooler) and have the best relsults with it, balanced between noise and temps.

Anyway - your build looks so sexy, that thicc GPU is so sexy. There isn't any way for you to vertically mount it, right?

Yep, more fans doesn't mean lower temps, instead it causes more noise and disrupted airflow.

3x front intake, 2x top exhaust and 1x rear exhaust is all you need.

Looks like he can not mount it vertical. Probably would have some clearance issue with the Noctua cooler and psu shroud. Beautiful card it is :)

I learned the opposite. Depends on fan curve and hardware setup.

What case is that?

Wow. This case is so slick. It's like it comes with the benefit of the extra intake fans of the 011 Dynamic without going wide.

Your rightmost top fan exhausts air before it reaches the cooler. If it's intake, you take in warm air from the exhaust fan next to it.

Wow ! Lovely !

How Nf-12 performs as case fans ? Compared to nf-a12x25 for exemple ?

They anyway looks damn good. Even more vintage/industrial than the a12x25.

And perform good as a Noctua fan.

Beautiful machine.

Beauty! Though the top front two fans are shorting your airflow a bit if they are exhaust. Better to cover that space with a pair of blanks and shift the back one over to be directly above the cpu cooler. That being said, what a sexy beast of brown and tan!

Would love to know where you got those PSU cables in those colors!!

I am looking at this same case as well. Did you need to get anything extra to get all of those fans connected, or did they connect right out of the box?

If only they would have done a 3080 Noctua version too. But regardless its very nice.
