Seems a little tight airflow wise.
Might wanna clean those case fans while you’re at it.

It’ll be fine, but you should take a look at your dust filter situation. Your fans are sucking a lot of dust in judging by the residue left over in your front Noctuas. I have my 9070XT in a server case (Silverstone RM-52):

(photo was before any cable management)

And it has a removable-washable dust filter on front. Same for my previous Lian Li PC-80N.

The dust level is reasonable, I installed external screens way back and never actually cleaned inside so thats some 5-6 years of dust.
The GPU fins have zero dust on them after a year or two or whenever I installed it and this is the amount of dust on the CPU cooler which I’ve never touched in the 3 years since I installed it prior to the repaste today

Gone from throttling while playing WT on the left to stress tests without care so that preapplied paste on the cooler was lacking if it dried up after 3 years

What heatsink are you using? Thermalright has been producing some really good stuff for low-profile coolers. Stuff like this: AXP120-X67 – Thermalright

I use an AIO to cool my 5800X3D (as seen above). But I use a Thermalright AXP120-X67 to keep my 5900XT (16 core / 32 thread) nice and cool in a lower profile case.

I dont know if its just me, but ive been trying to play UK 8.0 and if i had to pick between ever touching that matchmaker again or having to spend eight hours recieving hot, steamy love from eight gorillas in heat, im taking my chances with gorillas.

8.3 is such a wildly better experience lmao, its weird

The Chieftains are underrated gems at 8.7, 9.0 Mk 10 is fantastic as well.

What tanks are you playing? I’m playing through UK 8.0 again but I’m quite enjoying it.

the more i play the MSC the more i am beginning to despise the fact your smoke launchers go off when shot. such a stupid mechanic honestly.

Probably my biggest gripe about playing the Chieftains and Challengers, the Smokes live on the turret cheeks, so tanking a shot hull down normally sets them off lmao

Thermaltake Toughair 110

I had a spare 120mm fan I forgot about which I’m using as an exhaust fan now and that’s dropped peak temps by another 5C or so when the GPU has been running at full power and dumping some 250W of heat into the case.
I’ll do some more experimentation with fan layout at since point but I’m satisfied with the cooler for now.

I love Britain 8.3.

I thought now would be a good time to spade the CV90 MKIV what with the sales and stuff going on.

It is more awful than i imagined…

Vickers mk1 as first spawn, that tank is geniunely good.

Cent mk10 as back up.

Fox for flanking.

Swingfire for open maps.

Dont get me wrong, with exception of swingfire all of the vehicles are good, vickers mk1 esepcially has been sleeper hit.

But god, the matchmaker and teams.

7.7 downtier, i see in the killfeed that Maus on the other side goes 7-0, because half of the team suddenly forgot how to deal with Maus. I get sniped by enemy sitting literally im front of two team mates.

Just pure frustration.

a Tight fit is still a fit

Does anyone know when the profile icon changes change after you change it in game? Been using the Nelson one for a while now but the forum doesn’t update…

No SPAA, joke lineup. Meanwhile:

Spoiler

Falcon and Marksman are probably amongst the best TDs in this BR range

Falcon is typically my first spawn in that lineup, indeed.

ye, in the end i decided to skip the 8.0 and go for Chieftains instead, much better experience instantly. Might go for 8.3 later down the line.
