Does anyone have any tips on preventing GPU sag for a 3090 FE, with two slim 15mm fans below it? Not much room to work with here. There's about 3-4mm clearance between fans and the GPU if I had to guess.

They are Scythe Kaze Flex slim fans.

I’ve seen a few people use a small spacer on top of the fans, nothing fancy, just a price of plastic.

I have often got an old wine bottle cork, cut it to the height desired then coloured it black. You can use that to then prop up the furest corner where it needs the support

For my TUF 3080, I just used one of the protective caps that covers the HDMI ports on the back of it. I Just wedged it between a corner of a fan and the card. Its black and I can't see it from where I sit.

Obvious question but when connecting a graphics card that requires two 8 pin connections, should I plug in two 8 pin cables to the Corsair SF750?
Or can I use the two 8 pin connections on a single cable?

Thanks

im not too clued up either, but with GPU's they do need they're power! my RTX6800XT has the same, and i used 2 separate 8 pin connectors just to be sure,

i also have the SF750

Use two separate cables.

Was wondering if I would need slim fans for a 3090 FE. Just when I thought I was almost done spending money on this system..

Pop a fan screw in the other side of the front Kaze Flex fan. Loosen it until it makes light contact with the GPU. Then pop something on top of the screw (e.g. bluetac) to stop it scratching the GPU.

SO hard to choose between white and black on this case. White looks nice, especially with the vented side. The white case with glass side has that black frame which looks a litle odd. My peripherals and monitors are black, as would most of my components, so all black would be nice, but i am drawn to the white case. Might get one of each and decide between the two for me and put my daughters build in the other one.

Been browsing for a while, but just now reaching the end stages of my very own NR200 build. Debating coolers currently (FUMA2 or U12S), but below is a snapshot I had to take when test fitting my U12S. I'm proud of my work so far and thought this a great crowd to share it.

EDIT: Oh boy, apparently I don't know how to upload photos... https://imgur.com/a/9Hx3Gl0 is what I'm trying for here...

@DrCable your linked images don't work ^^

My 12 pin cable from modDIY came today, got the joys of re-cabling my NR200 at the weekend.

What a terrible first attempt! How do I get the imgur photo to work? I thought I'd just paste the URL into the image upload spot?

You using the app on Android or using a PC?

Just use postimages.org instead. It's a lot less hassle.

DrCable · 3 Feb 2021 at 00:43

Okay, @McPhee. Let's see if this works!

Hi had the NR200p since it came out and thought I would post my current build before watercooling.

I have 3 fans (2 below the gpu, 1 at the top) connected to the gpu pwm via a splitter and into the fan hub so they do not spin unless the gpu is in use which I really like as the system is silent under light load, those fans have a noctua low noice adapter on them as well so when the gpu is used they are nice and quite.

Full specs

Ryzen 7 3700x on a MSI 450 itx gaming cooled by a noctua C14s with a cromax a14 fan
32 GB DDR 4 3600
RX 6800 reference
EVGA 650w g2 sff psu
500gb samsung 970 a 2 x 1tb ssds.
2 x Noctua NF-F12 PWM chromax below the GPU ,1x Noctua NF-P12s redux and 1x Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM at the top of the case.

I did have a Powercolor Red Devil rx5700xt with a deshroud mod with the 2 noctua NF-F12 and that worked really well, if anyone has a 2.5/3 slot card I can recommend.

DOes the U12S fit with the Tempered Glass panel on or is it only with the vented side panel?
