I tried to buy a mesh cover separately but couldn't find any seller in my country sadly. I wonder if the aio is working probably. I thought it would handle temperatures much better than stock cooler but doesn't make wonders without proper venting I guess.
Flipping is not possible due to dimensions. I shaked and turned the case gently to get air bubbles to the top just in case. I saw many people saying they could get low temps like low 70's with similar setup but either they are not realistic or my cpu likes to work really hot.
Gpu is fine, the radiator is not square though. I am not sure but if I flip the sides will collide with case probably.

I would if I could but PP08 is not sold here. I have to pay more than twice the price with tax customs and shipping. Also current psu will be useless and I have to buy a new PSU. Minimum wage is around 300 USD here (Turkey) so figure the economy and how expensive are the prices
I haven't been keeping up with pc tech for a long while, I realized the importance of the airflow with my current setup. If I knew before buying I would definitely get a modular sfx. Hell I would even buy now but if I spend anything else on this pc my wife will probably kill me
Do you know the distance between motherboard and the case? My ssd is also on the back and I want to put thermal pad between ssd and the case. Or do I need to put a heatsink between the ssd's heatsink and the case and put thermal pads between those?
It has a heatsink but during copying etc. temperature goes above 85 degrees. As there is no air circaltion down the board heatsink can't spread the heat effectively. I thought if I can put a thermal pad it may help reduce the temperatures.
Do you have a big gpu? What is your psu doing intake or exhaust?
The problem is I have an atx psu blocking most of the right side. And I am not sure if I set the AIO fan to exhaust it will pull all the hot air from gpu with no cold air from outside.
SSD width is around 3.8 mm and I think there should be 1-2 mm clearance between motherboard and ssd. I want to make sure the height before getting a metal plate but it is a pain to disassemble everything. I thought maye putting 2x3mm thermal pad might solve it. Actually thermals are not so bad during gaming. I have seen 50 degrees max but heavy copy paste operations making me wonder.
I also have an atx psu and even with an aio I think the system is choking for air when gpu is underload. And any air cooler will be too close to psu which will decrease the efficiency as the psu will restrict airflow. 1 possible option would be using the cpu fan reverted with psu exhausting at the same time though. Still I started to believe more and more if you are gonna put a gpu in this case, psu should be selected as sfx.Hi All,
Sorry if someone already asked about this.
I'm using an atx psu (be quiet u9 400w to be exact) on my sg13.
if i want to replace my cpu with i7 4790, can someone advise what air cpu cooler brands that can handle 4970 heat?
right now my setup is cryorig c7 paired with i5 4460. if it's possible i want to keep my psu in atx size,
and also i will not reconsider to use liquid cooler, so plz don't bother to mention it
thanks!!
I also watched techguru's video but he only considered cpu temps. I think the second fan might increase the airflow and help with gpu and psu heating. It probably didn't affect cpu temps because the radiator was the bottleneck. My psu fan is going crazy when gpu is on 100% (atx psu so the effective free volume is quite lower), and maybe adding a second fan might help it. Gonna try it as soon as I could find a bargain which is very hard here sadly.I tried but didn't seem to get the best grip and eventually, since it was the very final piece, I just wanted to get it done
Yeah, the H80icables are pushing up towards the case top no matter what, but cooling seems really good. I also saw in Techguru's video that double fans for radiator didn't do much so just went with the one for pulling air through the back, the side fan I think really helps not only with temps for overall case, but def for keeping PSU a few degrees cooler, it is really heating up.
Actually this solution might be a lot better. I will probably replace my atx psu with sfx and after that I will start looking for some 60 mm fans. Only problem is it will be impossible to find a silent quality 60 mm fan her, the ones I could find probably be oem crappy fans which will make a lot of noise. Hope they will be silent under low-mid rpm settings.Fine work.
With regard to the RHS exhaust fan, it is unlikely a 25 mm fan of any diameter will work with an HSF, you may need to look at slimmer fans or mount the fan externally on the outside of the case. TBH even a 15 mm thick fan can cause issues with some motherboards, a 12mm is a safer bet.
As far as the LHS goes you can mount a couple of 60 x 15 mm fans above the graphics card. THis is not entirely necessary with your blower style card but makes a massive difference with more traditional GPUs that dump warm air into the case:

They look good but I can't find them here anywhere. Actual no local shop selling any 50x1.5 or 60x1.5 fans. Maybe that website might ship here though I don't have high hopes. Not many eu websites ship Turkey. And if they ship I will probably have to pay big amount of custom tax and vat. Turkey is not a good country to be its citizenI used these:

That webiste only ships with no tracking. 90% chance it will be lost in customs here.I used these:
