Great video, Nick. I was drawn in by the music production side (and I'll add my voice to those asking for a more detailed vid on your setup and workflow) and I came away with the exact motherboard I've been looking for to use in my pc. A big 'yes' on so many levels so thanks again, from here in sunny North Wales 👍👏

I use a fractal design define c matx case, fanless psu, and a thermalright macho rev.c. With the fan settings on silent in the bios it is inaudible. I had a focusrite interface and switched to an rme babyface pro. I get a lot better CPU performance with the rme. The drivers are much better.

Dude I hear you on the AIO’s with the pump in the rad, I have an MSI Liquidcore 360 and 6 months it’s dead, I’ve always been Corsair having never had an issue with there AIO’s but thought I’d try something new, Lucky AMD have said the 5800X running at 90-95 won’t damage it cause it was doing 80-90 idle but seemed like everything was good, programs said the pump was running and there was heat transfer in the pipes, turned out the pump was a dud so back to Corsair I went

Do you think a 5900x with a 6600xt would be ok thermally in this case? I need a new PC for work (just several VM's, nothing too intense) and thought this case looked good and I don't need it to be overkill. Thanks for the great content!

@GearSeekers 2 жыл бұрын

I think you'd get away with a 5900X. I've had decent results with 240mm AIOs and the 5900X. The trick is undervolting it a bit. It will drop the temps quite a bit.

Is there any such thing as a silent (or quiet) SFF (or compact) gaming PC? Perhaps with a 4090 or 4080? I'm trying to pick the perfect case.

@Alp577 Жыл бұрын

It’s possible. My Ncase M1 with 4090 is very silent with EK 240mm 13700k on a conservative fan profile. Some compromise on thermal (74C GPU and 80C CPU while editing or gaming), but it’s almost dead silent.
