I won this rig, but swapped the 3070ti for the reference model RX 6800 I had in my AMD rig, and sold it to my nephew for his build, along with some of the other parts from my AMD rig.

Lucky bastard lol. I'm not a massive Jurassic World guy but it is nice looking.

terribly sorry ive been away from these forum for quite some time its a 3d printed
Fan Shroud for 150mm duct 140mm fan PC Case, GPU, High Temp ABS ( if you type that into ebay it should come up )
that i found on Ebay au..

does it work amazing MEH i dont know i just figured i could funnel the cold air sucked into the front of the case and blow into the air cooler to help CPU temps !!

Thank you. Maybe it works well or not, but it looks cool

They do actually help somewhat at mitigating reversion of the airflow.

Depending on the fan. Some fans like Noctua F series have a directed flow to start with, so the flow is almost all perpendicular to the fan. Some fans, like the Noctua S series are high angle broadcast, so would see a large directional benefit from that shroud.

I haven't used them myself or seen them except in passing but those funnels have to at least to some capacity be acting like megaphones no? Granted I probably wouldn't notice with all fans running at 100% all the time but for the average person I'd imagine it has to add some noise.

I know a rebuild of my 7800x3d and 7900xtx but im super impressed with what this case can handle and it looks super cool with the vertical mounting ..

Even more so with GPU temps and CPU temps ( well with a arctic freezer iii 420mm AIO its crazy to think the CPU would get hot )

somewhat diminishing returns with the 420mm

That said GPU is hovering around 60c 70c 4k ultra 100% load in dragon age

As sig says
Asus rog crosshair x670e gene 7800x3d arctic freezer iii 420mm argb corsair hx 1000i PSU 2 140mm fans blowing air in from the right hand side ( top if not vertical ) AIO 140s pulling air out and the side rgb 140mm fan is blowin / sucking air over the psu

7900xtx red devil is sucking cool air from the bottom though vented mesh panel ..

Call me very impressed with the temps and look ..

Sadly the 7900xtx is going bye bye as will the red rgb colour for green 5090 next year !!
