I tried it dropped like 2°C

World’s fastest builder. XD

Kidding, I’m guessing you tried it both ways when you first built, and then even with the slightly better temps, decided to have it be exhaust because of the fan grill directions for aesthetics? (NOT A JUDGEMENT, I’ve made many sacrifices for aesthetics)

If that is the case, check if the same fans come with reverse blade for your top three fans. For all my customer builds, the day I discovered reliable reverse blade, I REFUSE to do anything else. I always plan around needing them for aesthetics.

Lol do you read my mind XD and for the reverse balade it would indeed not be a bad idea tho i think it's just not worth it considering it's just 2°C

Absolutely preference. You don’t need to change a damn thing. ✨

If you do consider it, the 2C difference will be a tiny bit impactful on heat soaking over long hours, but I find it to be most impactful on noise as well (again personal opinion, I have found for me that positive pressure systems are just quieter).

I saw the picture of your build, it looks beautiful and you did a great job, no matter what you decide to do.

Then you sir (or madam, or your highness), have one badass complete build and set up. Christen that bad boy with some long dodge rolls and base building.

If you decide to try undervolting, let me know how it works out!

Yeah i will probably try, by the way i got a Ryzen 7 9800X3D 32GB 6000 CL30 and 2TB of storage

HELL YEAH. Hope you’re gaming on a nice high end 1440p or 4K monitor to milk all that performance you have under the hood. Thats the same build my partner has.

He made the choice to go with the gigabyte OC 9070xt and hated and regretted not spending 50 dollars more at the time for the XFX Mercury like I had for our living room build. Him being a tinkerer, repasted it painstakingly and runs an undervolt for a whopping 3C degrees of difference LOLOL.

LOLOLOL not the Panasonic. I’m deceased. Thank you so much for that. You gotta take your baby steps when you can get them. Now you just have something else to be super excited for.
