Fan Configurations for NH-U12A in a S620?

Heya. Recently built a 5800X/2080 Super into a Sliger S620 with an NH-U12A and was curious to see what other folks have been doing fan config wise. I tried rear exhaust with top intake and had okay temps (40C idle/72C on load). Switched to rear intake and top exhaust and idle temps were higher (43C / 74C load). I was thinking of adding a side exhaust, but that'd mean I can't use the windowed panel.

I suppose I could use the alternate setup for the PSU so I can fit a front fan, but then I couldn't use the cables. (they juuuust fit in this config.)

Anyways, I know the more popular cooler to use is the NH-D15S but wanted to keep things a bit less crowded aesthetically.

NCASE M1 Build and fan configuration testing

Hi,

not the best time to upgrade your system, but I couldn't resist.I already made a preview post about my ASUS Strix 3090 deshroud, but I wanted to show a bit more of my now finished build. I also uploaded a video of the deshrouding process, just a mostly raw uncut version though.

Specs:

|Mainboard|ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII IMPACT|
|:-|:-|
|CPU|AMD Ryzen 9 5900X|
|GPU|ASUS GeForce RTX 3090 ROG STRIX OC WHITE|
|RAM|2x 16GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3800MHz, 14-16-16-36, (F4-3800C14D-32GTZN)|
|Power supply|Corsair SF750 Platinum 750W|
|CPU AiO|Alphacool Eisbaer LT 240|
|AiO Radiator Fan|2x Noctua A12x25|
|GPU Fan|2x Noctua A12x25|
|Storage|1x Samsung 960 EVO 1TB, 1x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB|
|Case|NCASE M1 v6.1|

Side

Yes, the STRIX 3090 does not fit the NCASE M1. At least not without the use of a rotary tool.

But then it fits, no slim pci-e power connectors are necessary with a little cable managing.

even the front connectors are in place

​

I tested thermals with Fire Strike Ultra Graphics test 1 in a loop for at least 30 minutes with a period of roughly 5 minutes cool down afterwards. Logging was done with HWiNFO64. I set pump and CPU Radiator fans to a fixed RPM while changing the GPU fans in different fan configurations to match an 40db(A) noise level for comparison. Sadly the STRIX does not report RPM for the external fans, so for those only the % were logged.

Fire Strike Ultra settings for testing

Noise normalization to about 40db\(A\) from roughly 20cm

I tried the following configurations:

GPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Intake + CPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Intake
GPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Intake + CPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Exhaust
GPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Exhaust + CPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Exhaust
GPU 2x Noctua A14x25 Exhaust+ CPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Exhaust

I for some reason forgot to test GPU Exhaust and CPU Intake in this run, though I have tested it before and it didn't performe better than a full exhaust configuration.

As the GPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Exhaust + CPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Exhaust performed the best and furthermore the GPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Intake + CPU 2x Noctua A12x25 Exhaust crashed my system when I just closed Fire Strike due to an overheating of the motherboard and CPU, I didn't tested other configurations for the GPU 2x Noctua A14x25 than as Exhaust with the CPU also as Exhaust.

The Noctua A14x25 do not fit without grinding the fan's frame down on the inside where the ncase's mounting hardware for the side panel sits or removing said mounting brackets.

My custom profiles are fan curves for both CPU and GPU as well as an undervolt to
868mV at 1905Mhz Core Clock, +550Mhz RAM for the GPU.

Results, dT above ambient logged with a EVE Room

Thank you for reading, hope it helps, I'll try to answer any questions left unvoiced, but I won't take it apart for testing other configurations anymore, that whole process was a pain, thanks for your understanding!

Are there any slim 140mm case fans with 140mm mounting holes?

Preferably 15mm or below. I did find the Thermaltake Luna 14 Slim LED, but it seems to be discontinued for years

Had to cut one fan to fit RAM tabs.

PC without side radiator.

Different angle.

Clearance between GPU and bottom radiator is 1,5 cm. Had to take off audio cover to fit radiator.

PC with side radiator.

Shot from above.

Closed side panel.

Pump and reservoir \(IceMan NR200\). Had to cut 2 holes in case to get IN and OUT into PC.

I know this wall is garbage.

Best small Antennas on Amazon?

Have tried 2 different sets and they’ve both been absolutely terrible. I’m about 2 rooms away from my router. Using my motherboard antenna is perfectly fine but I want something small and out of sight. Any recommendations? Don’t mind spending extra for really good ones.

Which layout is most optimal for my custom mesh sandwich-style case? (the black rectangles are fans). And yes, I'm aware that air passed thru the radiator isn't fresh & cool.
