Be Quiet 500DX

the Tomahawk doesn't have ARGB - 4 pin is normal RGB (i.e. all one colour)

bums.
no way to turn the red off either I guess?

 

[Haggisman]

I assume you can only do it in Dragon Centre (MSI Software), although there might be a bios option?

You can with the MSI software iirc Mystic Light I think?

apparently it resets every time you restart.
guess I'm never turning this PC off now.

I’ll have to have a think, I managed to disable the leds when I first got this board, I haven’t done it since updating the bios though.

edit it was this https://github.com/ixjf/MSIRGB I used to fully disable without needing to do it each time the machine restarted, but Im not responsible it it bricks your board

Here you go folks. The Arctic 280 got here at last. Front mounted, fans on intake. Just got installed

Nice, looks really good

Does the front filter still fit on with those fan screws?

 

[Rob43]

I've kept 2x silent wings up top & 1x rear
Was a breeze to fit, happy with it. Now to see what performance is like.

Yep, fits no problem

excellent, looks good!

I know you were looking at top mounting, but no chance, unless you have a Matx board, it's not happening with my tomahawk max. It's really tidy looking front mounted tbh

I reckon you'd get a 240 on there if you mounted it in the holes closest to the window side, but a 280 would hit the VRM heatsink :/

aye seeing how you have it configged, i think i will end up doing the same!

Ordered one of this tonight. It comes Saturday and I can't wait.

Seems it has everything I'm after in a case.

I really did enjoy building in this case.

I've been looking at this case for a new build, as my FT02 just has too large a footprint for where it needs to go. Air flow looks great for an air-cooled build. How are you all finding it now that you've had it a few months? Are the stock fans good enough?

I have ended up moving this onto the desktop because I changed desks and it interfered with the legs, plus it just looks too good to be on the floor anymore. I am still running with the 3 stock fans (1 exhaust back and 2 exhaust top), I added 2 of my Corsair 120mms in the front because they were spare. Is very quiet and at night the RGBs look pretty cool. No issues with temp and love it

Good feedback, thanks!

Stock fans are 'okay'. I changed the two fronts for two Arctic P14s, as the stock fans don't push any air. On the upside, they are very silent.

Note that they were still okay in terms of temperatures, but managed to drop my GPU by 5°C by switching to the P14s.
