Monochrome - FormD T1, 5800X3D, 3090

* Swapped the fan on the SF750 with a Noctua NF-A9x14 HS-PWM (I do not recommend doing this as it voids your warranty. I'm just vain...). * Removed VRM/rear IO cover to get the AXP120-X67 fit in its current orientation, freeing up RAM space. Additionally... * FormD T1 configured for a 2.25 slot GPU; barely fitting the 2.2 slot EVGA XC3 card.

Didn't provide enough cooling in my situation.

Pros: quiet, easy to install, comes with several adapters for different cabling needs (Y adapter for two fans, etc.) Cons: didn't provide enough cooling for my needs. When I found I was having cooling issues, I strapped in a too-big fan with zip ties, while waiting for this one. It resolved my issue...

Hideous color Combo But Awesome Fan

Aside the weird color palette, this is a high end fan that I'm using to cool my CPU. The friction of this fan is nonexistent which explains that it spins (when you flick it with your finger) with little effort. I just dislike the colors of the fan and wished it was something of the norm (I do rememb...

Another dense NR200 nugget

The 120mm radiator barely fits and has a 92mm fan taped to the back to provide extra clearance for more tilt angle. The fans for the bottom radiator are hidden under the case that is lifted by a 3D printer replacement for the stock feet that adds 25mm to the total height, I think this turned out very sleek. Overall I love the look, especially with all the shiny bits behind the tinted glass.

Low profile 92 x 14 mm fan

This is a nice fan with a nice assortment of extension wires for PWM. I did need to cannibalize an OmniJoin NA-JC2 from another Noctua fan set to wire a 2-pin JST connector to this fan for my project. This would have been a nice inclusion. Of course this is a PWM fan, but there are no available 3 pi...

Shut up Cooler Master SFX V650 PSU mod

I am currently using an RTX 3070 (~230 W at full load) and an AMD 5800x with eco mode (~90 W at full load). This is equivalent to roughly 50% load of my PSU. According to the fan curve, Cooler Master provided, this converts somewhere between 1000 and 1500 rpm for the fan, which happens to be the rpm that my Noctua fan is set to be running at (minimum).

I spray painted it black - looks and WORKS great!

This fan is perfect for my mini-ITX liquid cooled build using the NCASE M1 case. My case is super small and I needed a very low profile but high performance fan. I just wish it came in black! I spray painted it black (I detail how to do it in my YouTube video "Paint a PC Fan the Easy Way - without a...
